Congress has spent decades treating NGOs as a philanthropic category rather than a governing category. That assumption no longer holds.

TRUMP'S VENEZUELA BRIEF. SOUTH AMERICA GOES MAGA? WHAT WAS AND WASN'T SAID

Institutional Entryism and the Challenge to the French RepublicWhy France Must Act Decisively to Remove Muslim Brotherhood Influence from Republican Structures
France is not merely defending borders or laws; it is defending a civic model in which citizenship is individual, secular, and equal. MB-inspired entryism challenges this by advancing communal mediation between the citizen and the state, eroding the universalist foundation of the Republic.
