The GEC's potential dismantling raises concerns as adversaries intensify their disinformation efforts globally, undermining US leadership in combating misinformation.

Bipartisan efforts to extend the GEC's mandate highlight its importance, yet resistance from congressional Republicans threatens to undermine essential defense against global disinformation.
