The Real Threat of the Nonprofit “Terrorism” Provision in Trump’s Big Bill

The National Day of Prayer event was held in the Rose Garden of the White House on May 1, 2025. House Republicans have added a concerning provision to a new tax bill that could allow President Trump to target certain nonprofits by labeling them as “terrorist-supporting organizations” and removing their tax-exempt status. The administration has previously used this tactic to target student activists, migrants, and nonprofits that oppose the president’s policies. The bill is now being fast-tracked through Congress, raising concerns about the potential abuse of power and the implications for civil society groups.
