MESSAGE -— 54 Bipartisan Lawmakers Urge Speaker Johnson
Not to Slip “Deep State Surveillance Authorization” in Defense Bill

Congress should strip funding from the censorship group, NewsGuard, in the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) since it received a $750,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Department of Defense.

If a govt organization is suspected of having political bias, that’s unconstitutional.
The US government cannot support that w/ tax dollars.

And this: a very pertinent point regarding the “outsourcing of censorship.”

NDAA SECTION 1532 “That which government is
constitutionally prohibited from doing, it cannot
contract with others to do.”

Congress must make sure that Section 1532 is preserved in the final version of the NDAA.
