Why would the US Justice Department remove a study from its website last week that concluded that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terror group? .

The now-archived report, titled "What National Institute of Justice Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism," was reportedly removed from the DOJ's website between September 11 and 12, according to Jason Paladino, an independent investigative reporter. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10 while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, President Trump and others in the administration have repeatedly claimed that “the radical left causes tremendous violence” and that they “seem to do it in a bigger way” than groups on the right.

This study, based on research spanning three decades, represented one of the most comprehensive government assessments ever of domestic terrorism patterns. It found that “militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States” and that “the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”.

Amidst all the accusations from the administration, we republished a piece examining political violence by Art Jipson and Paul J. Becker from the University of Dayton, which found that most domestic terrorists in the US are politically on the right, and right-wing attacks account for the vast majority of fatalities from domestic terrorism. You can read the piece down below.

My friend @AnnieAndrewsMD is running for senate against Lindsey Graham — who cares more about golfing with 🍊 than about real working families from Charleston to Greenville, Aiken to Rock Hill — and EVERY penny helps!

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits.

There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Democrats introduced amendments to Trump's budget bill that would have:

—Rejected cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP
—Protected rural hospitals from closure
—Kept labor and delivery units open

Senate Republicans rejected every single one.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.

Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

[Dr. Vin Gupta @VinGuptaMD]

This Medicaid legislation is cruel, it’s dishonest and it will harm the 70 million + Americans that rely on this vital program.

Republican: will brand this as “work requirements” but take that’s silly take that insults the public.

Let’s speak clearly to hold them to account.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

SC’s healthcare is already a mess — thanks to Republicans blocking Medicaid, we’ve lost 4 rural hospitals. 14 counties have zero OBGYNs. 5 only have one. Most nursing home residents rely on Medicaid. 600,000 families need SNAP to eat.

This bill slashes all of that and adds to the national debt just to bankroll tax cuts for billionaires. Unless you’re pitching to the mega-mansion crowd on Kiawah, it’s a slap in the face to the working people of SC.

What are you going to tell folks in South Carolina with Sickle Cell disease who are going to lose their health insurance?

Promises made, promises broken?

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

Brain worms? Dead bear cubs? Sawed off whale heads? Vaccine conspiracies?

Nah bruh… that’s all you.

[Kristi Noem @KristiNoem]

If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.

Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.

South Dakota defends the Constitution.

Clawing back public media funding would rip vital services out of our communities – early education, local journalism, emergency alerts, and local connection. Speak out before it’s too late @MyPublicMedia: https://t.co/i3DumLQoCd #ProtectMyPublicMedia

We asked A.I. to give us a stereotypical depiction of the resident of every - yes, every - U.S. state. These are the results.

Do I have this right…conservatives love free speech for Elon Musk, but hate free speech for Colin Kaepernick?
