Two new reports commissioned by Independent Sector find that provisions in the tax bill moving through Congress would cut charitable giving by far more than they would generate in new tax revenue. Independent Sector’s top lobbyist calls one of the provisions “a terrible design.”

It’s not deporting, if you’re sending citizens to another country. It’s human trafficking. In this case, it’s also slave labor. You’re talking about an administration selling US citizens into slave labor.
At the Environmental Protection Agency, some managers were told by Trump appointees that Musk's DOGE team is rolling out AI to monitor workers, including looking for language in communications considered hostile to Trump or Musk. Read the full exclusive ➡️ reut.rs/443eKWL
The entire budget of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which has been devastated by Trump & Musk) is 3% of this.

@ossoff.bsky.social @ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov real question from an Atlanta voter - when will it be the last straw for you? What are you waiting for?
Holy fuck

I love many of my funding peers but I have been facilitating meetings with them for over a year and a half to create a new coalition and they still haven’t #cutthecheck.
NEW: Three U.S. billionaires own more wealth than the bottom half of the country combined, IPS research has found. Democrat or Republican, we all have a critical need to reverse this inequality or lose our democracy.

just to clarify something: the IRS sometime this week removed all the historic 990 data they've published since machine readability became mandatory in 2020.

Wow is this the one time when it’s good to be underinvested
Diane Yentel: In court filings and in yesterday's hearing, the Trump administration made an unprecedented and chilling ask in our case of National Council of Nonprofits et al vs Office of Management and Budget. DOJ, on behalf of the administration, requested that the judge require NCN and other plaintiffs to post a bond. They claim that if the judge grants our request for a preliminary injunction, thereby stopping the administration from implementing a blanket freeze on all open federal grant disbursements, there would be irreparable harm to OMB. So, the DOJ's reasoning goes, if a preliminary injunction is ultimately overturned by another court later in the process, NCN should be required to pay back the federal government for all money spent during the preliminary injunction! DOJ declined to put an actual number on their request, but the implication is potentially *hundreds of billions of dollars*. The DOJ's request is unprecedented, and DOJ was unable to explain why a bond could possibly be appropriate here. This is attempted intimidation, plain and simple. We won't back down.
Diane Yentel is not very active on here, and this is too important to not circulate here. Amazingly gangsterish (my new favorite adjective for these days) stuff.
Love when it looks like I have an easy day with only a few meetings and then 8 hours later I’ve barely stood up from my desk
That's why movement funding from non-government sources must be consistent, reliable, and unapologetic, especially NOW.
💥 CUT THE CHECK.
But this isn’t just about calling out the problem. We’re bringing solutions, too.
🚨 PHILANTHROPY: TIME’S UP. The ongoing federal funding freeze isn't just a problem for nonprofits - it's a looming crisis for thousands of local communities. When funding isn’t dependable, community organizations collapse, and lives are on the line.

Resist Tips:
Call Congress: 6 daily calls (2 each to Senators' DC+local offices, 2 to Rep's).
Ask for policy staffers, give zip code, make it personal.
Focus on 1-2 issues/day
Staff track call volumes & topics can sway votes
GOP calls exceed Dem 4:1

A Statement From the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Throughout our history, the Kennedy Center has enjoyed strong support from members of congress and their staffs—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Since our doors opened in1971, we have had a collaborative relationship with every presidential administration. Since that time, the Kennedy Center has had a bi-partisan board of trustees that has supported the arts in a non-partisan fashion. While we are a living memorial to President Kennedy, we are also a unique public-private partnership. The Center is supported by federal annual appropriations for the upkeep and maintenance of the building as a federal memorial, or approximately 16% of the total operating budget. Support for the Center’s artistic programming comes from ticket sales, donations, rental income, and other revenue sources. The Kennedy Center is aware of the post made recently by POTUS on social media. We have received no official communications from the White House regarding changes to our board of trustees. We are aware that some members of our board have received termination notices from the administration. Per the Center’s governance established by Congress in 1958, the chair of the board of trustees is appointed by the Center’s board members. There is nothing in the Center’s statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken with the Kennedy Center’s board.
The Kennedy Center has issued a statement in response to Trump’s deranged post about making himself the chairman.
“There is nothing in the Center’s statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken.”
