    I very much appreciate this, especially the link to the actual text of the bill.

    “the name of the organization or organizations with respect to which the Secretary has determined such organization provided material support”

    “You’ve provided relief funds and services to [redacted, national security].”

    “a description of such material support or resources to the extent consistent with national security and law enforcement interests.”

    “Can’t tell you, national security.”

      Oh very true. But there is still congressional oversight and that means that some Dems will be privy to what [redacted] actually means.

      Hey, just try find a few scraps of optimism…
