several CISA employees working on election security were placed on leave in January.

I want my pencil and paper ballot back.

Why have a team that constantly tests your Opsec when you plan to just let the KGB in through the front door?

Why don't we just cut to the chase and let Russia into our information systems?

Who’s to say that hasn’t already been done?

CISA about to red team those DOGE boxes lol. Good luck hardening vs these guys, Big Balls.

And rumor is DOGE has lousy opsec. And I suspect DOGE won't be able to fix their opsec (after they start getting owned) because veteran engineers pay attention, and Musk seems incapable of loyalty.
