23. Actually Bush opposed the formation of DHS at first

Eventually he caved to pressure from members of congress. For five minutes he was almost on the right side of history.

Surprisingly, it was Joe Lieberman who initially 'proposed it, White House conservatives reportedly balked because it would mean a vast new federal bureaucracy. But President Bush reportedly decided it was “politically expedient” to sign the bill. So Congress and the White House essentially wrote a blank check –one of many that spawned a post-9/11 national security state that threatened to put the country on a permanent war-time footing — and wrongly treated the “homeland” as if it was under continuous, existential threat.'

I'd remembered that Bush opposed DHS at first, but I didn't remember that Lieberman had proposed it. It didn't take long before republicans got onboard and politicized 9/11 to their own benefit. I remember all the military grade armored vehicles and weapons sent to police departments all over the country. It was both bizarre and frightening; now we can see all our worst fears come true.
