"SNIP.....

White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced at a briefing on Friday that the Biden administration will roll out a three-pronged interagency plan to assess and combat the threat posed by domestic violent extremism.

.....

How it works:

Biden has sent a request for newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to conduct a threat assessment in coordination with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security that Psaki said will produce a "fact-based analysis on which we can shape policy."

The White House National Security Council will be tasked with building capacity to tackle and disrupt extremist networks. Homeland Security adviser Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall has asked Joshua Geltzer, a former NSC counterterrorism director, to lead a 100-day investigation.

The administration will work to mobilize other factions of the government to address "evolving threats, radicalization, the role of social media, opportunities to improve information sharing, operational responses and more."

4. So simple to stop them. You just govern. And name them domestic terrorism

or domestic extremism.

2. Lock them up

Oath Keepers and Proud Boys need to both be designated a terror group and their members need to face the same kind of justice other terrorists face.

5. Good. ...address radicalization, the role of social media.

Monitoring evolving threats and operational responses sound relatively straightforward compared to that.
