"Domestic Terrorism": Leaked DOJ Memo Targets "Anti-Americanism, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Christianity"

A leaked memo by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directs the Justice Department and FBI to compile a list of groups that may be labeled “domestic terrorism” organizations based on political views related to immigration, gender and U.S. policy. The memo was obtained by independent investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, who joins us to discuss how it expands on President Donald Trump’s NSPM-7 directive following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which ordered a national strategy to investigate and disrupt groups the administration claims could incite political violence. Bondi’s effort targets “not just the left,” but “anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter,” says Klippenstein of the sweeping order, which identifies targets as entities expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement,” support for “mass migration and open borders,” “radical gender ideology,” or views described as anti-American, anti-capitalist or anti-Christian, as well as “hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality.” People who report extremists may be financially rewarded, and the FBI is reviewing records from the past five years, as well as the present.

"I Was Pepper-Sprayed": Rep. Adelita Grijalva on ICE Raid, Epstein Files, Rising Health Costs & More

Democracy Now! speaks with Democratic Congressmember Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, who says she was attacked by masked ICE agents Friday as she tried to find out more information about a raid taking place at a restaurant in her district in Tucson. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed as she was attempting to “deescalate the situation” and conduct oversight. Grijalva also responds to divisions in the Republican Party, including over the Epstein files, calls to replace House Speaker Mike Johnson, and how massive premium increases could soon kick in for millions of Americans as Johnson races to finalize a Republican healthcare plan.

"Murder on the High Seas": War Crimes Prosecutor Reed Brody on Trump's Boat Strikes

Pressure is growing on the Trump administration to release video of a U.S. airstrike on September 2 that killed two men who were left shipwrecked in the Caribbean after an initial U.S. strike on their vessel killed nine people. The Trump administration claims all of the passengers on the boat were involved in drug trafficking but has offered no proof. “This is no more a war on drugs than sending National Guard to Democratic cities is about fighting crime or attacking free speech on campuses is about protecting from antisemitism,” says war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody, who calls the strikes “murder on the high seas.” He argues, “They’re just making this stuff up, and basically they’re forcing the debate into their own terms.”
