The Biden administration is now instituting a speech police program that sounds straight out of George Orwell’s dystopian 1984. Republicans on Capitol Hill are right to try to quash it.

Biden’s secretary of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas, has created a Disinformation Governance Board, putatively to “focus” on disinformation coming from Russia and on alleged misinformation from human smugglers about U.S. border policies. To head the new board, Mayorkas has appointed “disinformation expert” Nina Jankowicz. Alas, Ms. Jankowicz’s record indicates she is as likely to spread disinformation than to counter it, all while she works to curb freedom of speech.
