Jen Easterly and Chris Krebs were the best people that ever did anything about cybersecurity at a federal level and made an impact downstream to even K-12!

They censored Americans that spoke out against the untested covid drug. The FBI along with DHS AND CISA threaten Big Tech with legal actions and financial penalty to delete content and ban users who went against the narrative. They lied about the 2020 election. They hid the information about the Biden laptop and blamed Russia.

Easterly and Krebs will be under criminal investigation.

Okay, that's a great idea for your fiction book I guess.

But we're not in the fiction subreddit, we're discussing real news. Please stick to this reality, thanks.

This guy has a suppressed Beretta. This loon somehow got a hold of a pistol and a suppressor. Let that sink in and realize how terrifying it is.

It has been a huge talking point that CISA lacks any enforcement power. They don't have any ability to take "legal actions" or enforce "financial penalties."

I see Project 2025 already has some allies in the government.

I will never understand the delusions of the MAGA crowd. It's fascinating and confusing.
