House passes HR 9495 which allows TFG to name any non-profit or advocacy group as a terrorist organization without any due process.
This was passed thanks to 15 Democrats voting with the GOP.

@sirgeefive Which 15?
@waywardflf Allred (TX), Caraveo (CO), Case (HI), Cuellar (TX), Davis (NC), Golden (ME), Gonzales (TX), Lee (NV), Moskowitz (FL), Panetta (CA), Perez (WA), Schneider (IL), Suozzi (NY), Torres (CA) and Wasserman-Schulz (FL).
So, TX represented 3 times in the 15, CA represented twice, ditto FL and CA.
What are they playing at? did they not understand the assignment?

@waywardflf This is where my cynical viewpoint comes in to play. My personal opinion is that people are being pressured to vote against their constituents best interest. They are likely being threatened with well funded (Musk) primaries or given sizable campaign donations to compensate them for their vote. This is just my cynical opinion, however. Definitely take it with a grain of salt.
