      Jan 13 2026
      In 1950, at the height of Cold War paranoia, Congress passed the Internal Security Act—better known as the McCarran Act—requiring communist organizations to register with the government and creating the Subversive Activities Control Board to monitor "subversive" activities. This controversial law forced Americans to declare their political beliefs and associations, raising profound questions about free speech and government overreach.
