This hearing will look at a range of violent antigovernment actors, movements, and organizations, highlighting recent threats from militia extremists and accelerationists, including the Boogaloo Movement, who seek to accelerate society toward violent collapse. Anything that is threatening institutions, we also look at it. That is what we are doing today. It is incredibly irrelevant to me which groups we look at so long that we are looking at the principal ones that threaten peoples lives. Some of these Extremist Movements stream from ideologies that are decades old. Others are both having new. Others are relatively new. These threats range from decentralized and leaderless accelerationist networks to more structured militia groups. Antigovernment extremism is one of the Common Threads, but we often see overlap with antiimmigrant, antisemitic, antiblack, antimuslim ideologies as well, bringing these extremists into common cause with others who are extremist in nature. We have an opportu

Desk. Every single senator in the Democratic Congress and in our caucus here in the senate is cosponsoring the for the people act. Senator merkley, senator merkley and my companion bill the h. R. 1, for the people act, but it is very deep in the leaders legislative graveyard. Over the course of the last year, as the for the people act has languished, tens of millions of dollars were spent, much of it in secret, to influence the policymaking process.
