Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump escalates his rhetoric against what he terms the 'radical left'. The President's new threats could alter the political field as the nation heads towards the midterm elections.
The administration has floated ideas of classifying some groups as domestic terrorists and revoking tax-exempt statuses of progressive nonprofits. Critics argue this is a move to suppress political opposition and infringe on free speech rights.
Nonprofit organizations, fearing potential crackdowns, are preparing for legal battles and bolstering their security. Amidst this tense climate, Trump's actions continue to push boundaries, raising concerns of altering the democratic fabric.
