Despite a previous FBI crackdown, the neo-Nazi terrorist organization, The Base, is expanding its activities in the US and planning a national paramilitary training event. Fueled by a perceived lack of federal law enforcement attention under a less interventionist administration, the group is openly soliciting funds and boasting about its growing presence. The Base’s activities extend internationally, including operations in Ukraine, highlighting a significant resurgence and a willingness to openly defy authorities. Experts warn that even a small training event signifies a concerning escalation in the group’s operational capabilities and public defiance. The FBI’s response focuses on criminal activity rather than group membership, leaving The Base relatively unchecked in its expansion.
The Boulder attack, described by authorities as an act of terror, has resulted in the suspect’s arrest and booking on multiple charges.

Following Rep. Crockett’s support for nonviolent #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk, Attorney General Bondi warned Crockett to “tread carefully,” linking the demonstrations to separate acts of vandalism against Tesla that she labeled “domestic terrorism.” Crockett countered that she has never promoted violence and criticized Bondi for President Trump’s pardons of January 6th rioters. The planned March 29th protests, organized by #TeslaTakedown, aim to pressure Musk over his government efficiency initiatives and are intended to be nonviolent. Bondi stated that her office will continue to pursue charges related to the vandalism as acts of domestic terrorism.
