Spending bill to fund State Department agency accused of censoring, blacklisting Americans
Fox News
A State Department agency is set to be refunded in the upcoming continuing resolution (CR) bill despite being panned by conservatives for its alleged blacklisting of Americans and news outlets.
The provision in the CR can be found under "Foreign Affairs Section 301. Global Engagement Center Extension," and comes despite the State Department saying in response to a lawsuit that it intended to shut down the agency by next week.

The GEC, according to reporter Matt Taibbi, "funded a secret list of subcontractors and helped pioneer and insidious—and idiotic—new form of blacklisting" during the pandemic.
