Trump's counterterrorism office is moving to label critics — including some on the right like Tucker Carlson — as possible domestic terrorists, which is bad for free speech and dissent across the political spectrum.

• Gorka, Trump's counterterrorism chief, named Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes as possible domestic terrorists after they broke with Trump over the Iran war.
• A new national counterterrorism strategy targets American citizens for the first time, listing the "radical left" alongside ISIS and drug cartels.
• The underlying directive, NSPM7, uses vague markers like "anti-Christian sentiment" and "extreme views on immigration" to flag people for investigation.
• The FBI has already visited protesters with no crime alleged, creating a chilling effect on people who now fear attending protests.
• Legacy media has barely covered any of this, and Gorka publicly bragged that almost no reporting on the strategy was critical.

Outlook: Quiet surveillance and intelligence work on flagged Americans is expected to expand, with the label likely stretched to cover more Trump critics on both left and right.
