"Already in response to the attack on the Capitol, President Biden and some members of Congress are joining calls for new domestic terrorism legislation that would give even greater power to law enforcement. It's a predictably misguided part of a decades long pattern. When white supremacist violence escalates, politicians often look to give law enforcement agencies more authority — whether it was President Bill Clinton in response to the Oklahoma City bombing or Biden today.
But this is the wrong takeaway, as giving law enforcement agencies more power and resources is not the solution to white supremacy. What leaders virtually never acknowledge is that federal law enforcement already has the tools necessary to investigate and prosecute white supremacist violence. Law enforcement agencies choose not to use them — just as they chose to let white supremacists storm the Capitol as the nation watched in horror."

Tulsi Gabbard agrees and Yahoo News highlights her points about how a domestic terrorism bill is "a targeting of almost half the country." I find it amusing how #1 the people who insist the mainstream news will never contradict Joe Biden have been proven wrong right off the bat, but more importantly how libertarians and progressives have been coming together lately as far as advocating for civil liberties. Tulsi is not a politician I like but one I find interesting. Several other leftists are speaking out against this as well.
