H.R. 10501: Communist Control Act of 2026
This bill would change the Communist Control Act of 1954 so that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would be treated the same way that the Communist Party of the United States of America is treated under that law.
What the bill changes
- It adds the Democratic Socialists of America to the list of organizations named in the Communist Control Act.
- It also says that any future successor organization to the DSA would be covered as well.
- It makes similar wording changes in another part of the law so the DSA is specifically included in provisions that already refer to the Communist Party and its subdivisions or successors.
What that means in practice
The bill does not create a new stand-alone program or agency. Instead, it would expand an existing federal law by placing the DSA under the same legal treatment as the Communist Party of the United States of America. The practical effect would depend on how the Communist Control Act is applied and interpreted, but the bill’s purpose is to extend that law’s restrictions and legal consequences to the DSA and any successor organization.
