It's mostly the Biden admin's idea but I'm sure some Repubs don't mind it either.

The article I read said "Imagine how this organization would run under DeSantis?"

Realistically speaking I have no clue what this branch would even do. The government already has intelligence agencies that obtain and verify information, so it seems likely this is supposed to be for civilians? Maybe? But to what point? The people who need help figuring out the truth are already full on rejecting reality this isn't going to help them, in fact it's likely to make them even more likely to reject the truth.

The even worse scenario is if they try to do something about misinformation? Which would easily step into violations of the first amendment. And absolutely horrifying to imagine under a conspiracy theorist president which seems likely to happen in my life time.

This is just such bad optics.
