- Advocacy groups warn that Trump's retribution campaign is expanding to include nonprofits, potentially harming their financial stability.
- Trump's administration is testing new executive powers, challenging courts and Congress to intervene.
- Environmental groups anticipate executive orders threatening their tax-exempt status, possibly timed around Earth Day.
- CREW, a key ethics watchdog, has long investigated Trump and is now facing scrutiny from his administration.

- Nonprofits fear losing tax-exempt status, which is vital for their funding and operations.
