Conservatives eye government shutdown to ax Biden DHS 'disinformation' board

House Republicans are seeking to defund the Biden administration’s controversial Disinformation Governance Board, and conservative members are eager to threaten a shutdown to do so if necessary.

House GOP Republicans, including the offices of firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), told the Washington Examiner that Republicans would support using the government’s annual spending bill as a way to remove funding for the Department of Homeland Security’s new disinformation board, which the GOP sees as a vessel to censor conservative speech.
