I am receptive to the goals of the Department of Peace but we already have the State Department. I don't see why we can't reorient it to be more peace driven than just simply starting a new department.
That said, we already have the U.S. Institute of Peace.

FYI, it should be pointed out that the Department of Peace has been a proposal over a decade by progressives and even the Green Party. This isn't unique to what Ilhan Omar had proposed.
However, it's better to talk about proposals like this when Democrats have power in Congress AND the White House. Right now, it's distracting.
I haven’t heard of a Dept of Peace since back when I was a college student majoring in Justice and Peace studies. That’s an actual degree and I dualed it with Poli Sci. The friends I met. Love em, gave them keggers and wops. Ooooo I’ll never forget this one guy who said he voted Green in 2008 bc why not? I was like you’ve been to my house and I gave you alcohol? And we got a life size Obama cardboard cut-out watching us as you say this?
Anywho, I’m an OG Obama college kid. I bought a life size cardboard cut-out of him bc I saw it at the Mall of America. I would bring it to my College Dem meetings or terrorize my roommates.
“Ahhhhhh, there is a man in my room!!” Oh it’s Barack Obama, FUCK YOU Andrew!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly. It’d make us look good if our SoS did good things.

I was for John, then Hillary then Obama.
Goes back even further than that. I was in college in the '80s and Jennings Randolph of West Virginia would introduce this bill every year.
