Did they even help secure the last election?

What this does symbolize though is a shifting of the winds. Instead of securing the country, someone in power doesn't want a roadblock when the interfere in future elections.

Remove the audit committee and there is no longer a problem to report.

Beautiful!

Why should I pledge allegiance to the hand that doesn't even feed us?

What you think InfoSec sounds like:
- Seize control of the docking clamp communication bus, disengage all diode armatures, and release our Harpoon cyber attack suite over the Baltic dark fiber.

What it actually sounds like:
- Whoever owns this Cisco please call me

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Let's do it.

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

We could’ve had Tim 😭

Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.

It always comes down to an OPSEC mistake.. also, if you're in the US, it's much harder to hide.

If you threaten to leak all cell conversations of a former president and the current VP as an active duty member of the US Army.... you're going to have a bad time.
