Washington, D.C. – Today, the MAGA House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 9495, which would give the incoming Trump administration new power to “shut down tax-exempt organizations without transparency or appropriate due process, impacting many tax-exempt organizations, including nonprofits, universities, and even news outlets” as part of the MAGA Project 2025 agenda. In response, Congressional Integrity Project executive director, Kyle Herrig, issued the following statement: 

“MAGA House Republicans ripped a page out of the Project 2025 agenda today, passing a bill to give Donald Trump more powers to go after organizations that dare to question him and his administration under the guise of security. Rather than addressing the real issues facing Americans that they campaigned on like border security and cost of living, they are continuing to put Donald Trump above their constituents. MAGA Republicans in the House and the Senate will stop at nothing to use their official Congressional resources to pursue the radical Project 2025 agenda, working hand in hand with their leader, Donald Trump.”
