🚨🇺🇸 STATE DEPT CENSORSHIP OFFICE REVIVED IN NEW SPENDING BILL
A controversial State Department office accused of funding censorship, the Global Engagement Center (GEC), gets a one-year extension in the 1,547-page spending bill.
Despite GOP investigations calling it a “speech suppression scheme,” Speaker Mike Johnson defended the move, citing the incoming Trump administration’s authority to dismantle it.
Critics like Reps. Jim Banks and Chip Roy slammed the bill for funding censorship while Vivek called it a “key player in the federal censorship state.”
