The House has passed legislation in response to the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that would devote more federal resources to preventing domestic terrorism. A similar measure in 2020 failed to make it through the Senate.

The 222-203, nearly party-line vote was an answer to the growing pressure Congress faces to address gun violence and white supremacist attacks, a crisis that was escalated following two mass shootings over the weekend.

Under current law, the three federal agencies already work to investigate, prevent and prosecute acts of domestic terrorism. But the bill would require each agency to open offices specifically dedicated to those tasks and create an interagency task force to combat the infiltration of white supremacy in the military.

Senate Democrats are pledging to bring up the bill for a vote next week. Its prospects are uncertain, with Republicans opposed to bolstering the power of the Justice Department in domestic surveillance.

Here's the real problem the government doesn't know how to Stop terrorism. It's always going to be a factor somehow, somewhere.

I'm all for preventing murder/racism. But I guarantee all this does is create bigger, more expensive government. And before anyone rebutles, name ONE bill that has actually prevented gun violence. I'll wait.

Shouldn’t all domestic violence and terrorism already be highly resourced? Because I’m certain that white Americans attacked our Capitol, killed people and terrorized our nation and our democracy.

Most of the money will be used to come after everyday citizens who dare speak up.
