Halfway through 2025, attacks by far-left extremists outpaced far-right violence for the first time in more than three decades, according to new research from the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), cited by Axios. The report notes, "2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right.”

• Daniel Byman, a Georgetown professor who's the lead author of the CSIS study, told Axios in a phone interview that many "extremists on the far right ... are more comfortable with the Trump policies, and that may be ... why we've seen a reduction in violence." Byman warned against the data being used "as an excuse for a crackdown on legitimate organizations."

I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
