   CBS report CISA are going to be DOGE'd again, and will send a second 'fork in the road' email and lay off or force out another 40% of their staff (a very significant number of people).

     I’ve been thinking about the news that the US plans to half the size of CISA and my question is.. why? Is the US financially bankrupt?

     @sadarex @GossiTheDog Ummm OK, so a newly created dept can take away money from DHS bypassing congress/senate/president? And this is constitutional? o.O

     @buherator @GossiTheDog CISA is not an random agency, but part of Homeland Security. And therefore they have control over their budgets.

     @buherator @GossiTheDog From the news I get the feeling that all managers that don't comply loose their jobs and are replaced with managers that do. (Just an assumption)
