Evidence
Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley introduced the Ending DHS Funding for Liberal Propaganda Act to prevent DHS from distributing grant funds to organizations that promote discrimination against conservative viewpoints. The release says the bill would stop DHS grant funding from being shipped to entities that will use the funds for viewpoint discrimination and bar DHS from distributing grants to entities that will use the funds to counter political narratives or views.
The bill text states: 'The Secretary of Homeland Security may not issue any grant funding to any entity that will use the funds for the development of' programming that engages in partisan political advocacy or relates to countering narratives or views on political topics. The bill was introduced by Mr. Hawley and referred to committee on January 22, 2024.
Congress.gov lists the latest action as 'Senate - 01/22/2024 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs' and shows the bill status as 'Introduced.' The actions overview contains only that single introduction action.
Assessments
Hawley introduced S.3632, the Ending DHS Funding for Liberal Propaganda Act, during the 2024 federal Senate campaign context, and the bill closely matched the promised DHS grant restrictions. But the official record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no passage, enactment, or binding DHS policy change. Because he made a serious legislative attempt but did not deliver the promised outcome, this should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge rather than partial delivery.
