The incoming chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee has pledged to severely cut the powers of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency or eliminate it entirely.
Lol Rambling Rand trying so hard to be fuckin relevant again
“we survived for what, 248 years without them”
Ahhh yes, 200 years ago was the golden age of the internet
There are few places where I agree with Rand Paul, but the abolishment of “Homeland Security” is one of them. We got this shit because of 9/11. It greatly expanded the power and control of government over our lives and we weakened our constitutional rights (e.g. illegal search and seizure) because of it.
I completely understand that weak cybersecurity is a threat, but we already have the Department of Defense, Department of National Intelligence and Department of State covering it, so there is already built in redundancy, why do we need DHHS doing it too?
Every single pick he has made so far has made our nation less safe. Like outright, not even trying to hide it.
And now this clown is chair of such a vital committee?
Russian tool. Republicans are traitors.
Yep this only benefits adversaries
Lol given there are a good number of countries who engage in constant increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks, this might be the stupidest one yet
I hope you guys aren’t too attached to having money stay in your bank accounts and your utilities working reliability
We literally just had China hack our telecommunications and this guy wants to eliminate the agency countering overseas nation-state hacking. It’s almost like Trump’s cabinet is not really on our team…
Maybe they will be a little less invasive of privacy
