No, H.R. 6090, known as the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023, was not signed into law. While it passed the House of Representatives on May 1, 2024, it did not pass the Senate and therefore did not become law.
HR6090 criminalized nothing. All it did was authorize the DOE to use a particular definition of antisemitism when determining if the acts of a grant recipient under Title VI constituted antisemitism.
Also, Trump did not sign it. It was a Biden admin Congress, the bill never got to his desk, and it is dead.
I’m really having a hard time seeing where all this misinformation is leading.
To be precise, all it did was nothing, as it was never passed by Congress and never got to Biden’s desk, much less ever got signed by Trump.
It’s not the first piece of legislation to use a stupidly chosen definition for the wrong purpose (as any gun owner can tell you), and the fact that that it never got through Congress might just reflect that.

Pot o’ gold at the end of this arc.
CM doesn’t make wildly erratic and erroneous statements; setting up something or somebody.
Or his Trump jock riding has just exposed some dark tendencies that were already present in his work if you looked close enough and weren’t blinded by the fan service.
Trump has not signed that bill. But fiction intro’d into a daily comic can be interesting in the ‘what if’ category. Like entertaining what happens if the Japanese come back to Pearl Harbor for the 3rd strike…
But the bill is dead in the Senate and that’s a good thing for the 1st Amendment.
“What if . . .” indeed. Genda got on his knees and begged Nagumo to launch that third strike — aimed at the submarine pens and fuel farms. Think of the consequences had he; our subs held the line for the first 18 months, and the fleet (what was left of it [the CARRIERS]) would have been “out of gas” within two weeks. Paints quite a different picture, don’t it?
Whatever one thinks of the Jews (and I see no reason to have anything against them as a whole – they’re individuals like everyone else and anyone can be an angel or an asshole), Israel is the sole bastion of civilization in a region that’s crucial to the whole world. It is very much in America’s best interest to keep the country and the people as strong allies. For the sake of fuck, they fight the Islamic menace almost singlehandedly! This isn’t brainwashing, it’s decades of sifting through all kinds of information and discerning the reality.
I don’t understand this seemingly sudden turn by Chris and I’m not willing to set it aside as merely a fictional device – the characters, especially Zed, have always seemed too strongly based on Chris himself. It’s what, 20 years of DBD? I don’t speak up often though I’ve seen every strip – who else remembers details like Mari’s and Kiko’s names being reversed when they were first introduced as babies? There were hints of antisemitism here before but that’s all they were – mild asides, easily dismissed. Now I’m watching warily to see where this goes.
It is a clone of hr 6090 and was passed by congress and signed by Trump.
Back in 2017 my old friend Al, a conservative, hated Trump for moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. I have never understood this extreme hatred for Jews, particularly Israeli Jews. It goes hand in hand with a disliking of banks, which is probably where it all began. It is just as stupid and virulent as TDS!

Trump has nothing to do with it.
WTF is going on?

(The education DOE, not the energy DOE.)
All it did?

CM supporting the first amendment.

I believe that Chris is referring to:
S.558 – Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025
It is a clone of hr 6090 and was passed by congress and signed by Trump.
Back in 2017 my old friend Al, a conservative, hated Trump for moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. I have never understood this extreme hatred for Jews, particularly Israeli Jews.

If I wanted a goid dose of Antisemitism I would go over to sinfest.
