.@TerrorismPolice are leading an investigation into a credible threat to those attending the UK Ijtima festival this weekend. I thank Suffolk Police, Counter Terrorism Policing, and the organisers for their swift and effective response that undoubtably saved lives. Twelve individuals have now been arrested. I know this is deeply concerning news for British Muslims. We must stand against hatred and we must unite around our shared belief in a country that is open, generous and tolerant to all our communities.

Terrorism (noun) The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Terror (noun) The state of being terrified or extremely frightened. They meant “terrorism.” They actually said “terror.” Lazy journalistic misuse of English.

Anti-terrorism tool lapse deepens as Trump temporarily sidelines DNI nominee Clayton nomination and pushes for SAVE Act passage President Trump is demanding that the Senate Intelligence Committee today postpone the confirmation for DNI nominee Jay Clayton. The President now doesn’t want the Senate to move it confirms James McDonald to succeed Clayton as the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. This means Bill Pulte will become acting DNI Friday.  Democrats balk at Pulte taking over temporarily in the job. That’s why they reneged on a bipartisan agreement to reauthorize the nation’s leading anti-terrorism tool, FISA Section 702. That program has now lapsed at a time of heightened threats in the U.S.  Democrats appeared willing to allow a reasonably quick confirmation of Clayton this week or early next to prevent Pulte from becoming acting DNI.  Confirmation of Clayton would likely unlock Democratic votes to pass FISA Section 702 in the coming days.  The President is also reiterating his demand that he won’t sign FISA unless lawmakers pass the SAVE America Act. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) reiterated to colleague Bret Baier last nighr that the votes weren’t there for the bill nor the votes to upend the filibuster.  The President’s latest move is really a pressure campaign on Thune - who said last night his conversations with President Trump are “a little bit testy and heated.”

Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West. Today, the United States sanctioned several transnational far-left terrorist networks, including Autistici/Inventati – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world. There will be no refuge for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, assault political opponents, or conspire to conceal their crimes from authorities. We will use all the tools and authorities at our disposal to fight terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist coercion.
