When House Speaker Mike Johnson introduced the original 1,500-page continuing resolution to keep the government open, plenty skimmed through it and found a lot that had nothing to do with keeping the government open. What were protections for House members against investigations all about? (Answer: the January 6 Select Committee.)
You would have thought the government would have learned its lesson when the people sent the Disinformation Governance Board packing, but no. Hidden in those 1,500 pages was funding for another year of the State Department's "Global Engagement Center," an agency that sought to censor and bankrupt conservative outlets like The Federalist and The Daily Wire, both of which sued. Fortunately, the funding was stripped for the agency from the final spending bill, and the Global Engagement Center will be closing down.
Ian Jaeger (@IanJaeger29) ~ JUST IN: The State Department’s Global Engagement Center for countering “Disinformation” is closing down and will not have the funding to continue in 2025. This is a HUGE WIN for President Trump!
This is a huge win for all conservative media, which the Global Engagement Center tried to bankrupt by scaring away advertisers with claims of "disinformation."
Stella X (@stellaaaaaax) ~ The State Dept is a leading purveyor in disinformation.
Reply By Mail (@ReplybyMail) ~ The "Ministry of Truth" is shutting down! Win!
And we can thank X for shining light on this funding and giving the American people a voice to demand it be stripped from the bill.
Ryan Jacobsen (@Dndbreakfast) ~ Just be sure to track the employees and audit their new roles in other departments. Biden is trying to shuffle the cards into a new deck.
MAGA25_TrumpWins (@Maga25_Trump) ~ Sounds great, but let’s be honest ... this is just their “storefront” that we see, people will be moved to other positions and the cycle started with their new entities.
Logical Icon (@Logical_Icon) ~ They are just going to move it to other departments. These people are not giving up. They must be rooted out of every department. Follow @MikeBenzCyber. You then will start to understand the devious web!
DOGE needs to find everyone involved in this effort and send them packing.
Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) ~ Now, we must make sure their employees never work in government again.
"Disinformation" is undefined and the government's free pass to censor news it doesn't want to hear. President-elect Donald Trump needs to remove the "disinformation" card.
