…The IRS’s new approach is the latest in a string of triumphs for #conservative #Christian groups, which are leveraging their alliance with #Trump to redraw boundaries between #ChurchAndState.

For now, the implications of this latest victory are unclear. On paper, the new #IRS policy appears narrow. It grants more freedom only to houses of worship, which the agency already seemed disinclined to police.

At #Trump’s request, Jeffress’s #church sent the White House Faith Office a 7-page letter outlining what it called “wrongful weaponization” of the #law & the “unlawful targeting of our church.” The letter, obtained by NYT, included recommended actions, & a mention of a Texas lawsuit, which offered a vehicle to declare that the law was wrong.

3 months later, #conservative #Christians scored a major victory.

Seated across from #Trump that April night, Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, told the president about how his #church faced an #IRS inquiry over its #TaxExempt status under the #Biden admin, after hosting a rally with #political figures.

Franklin Graham, the son of the #evangelist Billy Graham, who runs a large ministry with his father’s name, chimed in that his groups had faced similar IRS inquiries during President Barack #Obama’s tenure.

In the Blue Room of the White House, once the cameras recording the Easter prayer service cut off, the conversation at #Trump’s dinner table turned to one of the biggest political goals for #conservative #Christian activists — eliminating a #law that banned #churches, & other #TaxExempt charitable groups, from endorsing #political candidates.

House Republicans look to help Trump strip tax-exempt status of nonprofits he says support terrorism

By ALEXA ST. JOHN and MATTHEW DALY

WASHINGTON (AP) — "A proposal by Republicans in Congress would allow President Donald Trump’s administration to remove the tax-exempt status of nonprofits that it says support #terrorism, creating what some #nonprofits say is an arbitrary standard to financially punish #charities that advocate for issues that don’t align with his agenda.

"Unusual language added Monday to a reconciliation bill from the House Ways and Means Committee — the tax-writing committee — would allow for terminating the tax-exempt status of groups the administration deems 'terrorist supporting organizations.' The language mirrors a bill from the last Congress that passed in the House but did not pass the Senate.

"The definition and criteria for determining whether or how an organization supports terrorism are unclear. The bill also targets nonprofits in other ways, echoing complaints by Trump, who has called the tax-exempt status a 'privilege' that has been 'abused.' Trump has threatened to revoke tax-exempt status for groups that don’t abide by his directives or agree with his views."

[...]

"Michelle Roos, executive director of the Environmental Protection Network, which represents hundreds of former scientists and regulators, said last month 'we all pay the price' when charitable organizations are silenced based on politics.

"For example, the move to revoke #TaxExempt status could choke off funding for groups that urge greater action to promote clean air, water and land, work to help communities most affected by industrial pollution and advocate for projects and policies to combat #ClimateChange — among other issues.

" 'It threatens the rights, health, and future of every community,' Roos said in a statement.

Last month, Trump said he could target environmental groups and the ethics watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington."
