ATTACKS ON NONPROFITS
(Ms. SIMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. SIMON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to oppose our administration's
attacks on our Nation's nonprofit sector.
Since January, our President has launched an all-out assault on our
Nation's nonprofits, threatening to pull funding and proposing
executive orders that target our groups serving the good people of the
United States.

With Republicans pushing a reconciliation bill that would kick
millions off from their medical care, the administration has also
created an unprecedented attack with power to revoke nonprofit status.
The reconciliation bill would allow the executive branch to revoke
status from nonprofits that they believe are terrorist-supporting
organizations without requiring evidence, meaning no due process.
This vague provision is Trump's way of targeting organizations that
he opposes or that just don't align with his agenda. Those are
organizations that are doing right in our communities, and we have to
say no.
