     Inside #CISA, vital support staff are gone, international partnerships have been strained, & workers are afraid to discuss #threats to #democracy that they’re now PROHIBITED from countering. Employees are even more overworked than usual, & new assignments from the admin are interfering w/important tasks. Meanwhile, CISA’s temporary leader is doing everything she can to appease #Trump, infuriating employees who say she’s out of touch & refusing to protect them.

     …As the #Trump admin’s war on the federal bureaucracy throws key agencies into #chaos, CISA’s turmoil could have underappreciated consequences for #NationalSecurity & #economic prospects. The agency, part of #DHS, has steadily built a reputation as a #nonpartisan source of funding, guidance, & even direct defensive support for #cities, #businesses, & #nonprofits reeling from #cyberattacks.
