I am furious after reading the Wired article “Inside CISA Under Trump” (https://www.wired.com/story/inside-cisa-under-trump/). It exposes how the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), tasked with protecting our nation from cyber threats, is being gutted and politicized under the current administration. This isn’t just incompetence—it’s a betrayal of every American who relies on secure elections, power grids, and digital infrastructure.
The article details how CISA’s mission is being undermined: key leaders sidelined, morale tanking, and focus shifted from real threats—like foreign hackers—to petty political games. Russia and China aren’t waiting for us to get our act together; they’re exploiting this chaos now. As a former naval intelligence analyst of 12 years, I can assure you that our safety is on the line, and I’m outraged that you’re letting this happen.
Do your job. Demand CISA be fully funded, staffed with experts—not loyalists—and refocused on protecting us from cyberattacks. Push for oversight to stop this sabotage. My family, my community, and millions of Americans deserve better than a hollowed-out agency when our enemies are at the gates. Act now, or we’ll hold you accountable for the consequences.
