Well, this is terrifying. Via @\[544700762:2048:Judd Weiss\]\

"The passage of this bill in the Senate today takes us one critical step closer to effectively confronting the extensive, and destabilizing, foreign propaganda and disinformation operations being waged against us. While the propaganda and disinformation threat has grown, the U.S. government has been asleep at the wheel. Today we are finally signaling that enough is enough; the United States will no longer sit on the sidelines. We are going to confront this threat head-on," said Senator Portman. "With the help of this bipartisan bill, the disinformation and propaganda used against our allies and our interests will fail."\
\
"Congress has taken a big step in fighting back against fake news and propaganda from countries like Russia. When the president signs this bill into law, the United States will finally have a dedicated set of tools and resources to confront our adversaries' widespread efforts to spread false narratives that undermine democratic institutions and compromise America's foreign policy goals," said Murphy. "I'm proud of what Senator Portman and I accomplished.\"\
