Buried in the FBI’s 2027 budget is a funding request to hunt so-called domestic terrorists: "Anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity ... extremism on migration, race, and gender. And hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."

This Is What Trump Thinks Makes You a Domestic Terrorist
The FBI included a detailed list of what constitutes domestic terrorist activity in the 2027 budget.

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.
