The conservative think tank blueprint for how Donald Trump should govern the US if he wins in November calls for dismantling CISA, among many cyber-related measures. Experts say this would increase cybersecurity risks, undermine critical infrastructure, and put more Americans in danger.

    Well yeah, Project 2025 is terrible in almost unlimited ways. Government employment should be a meritocracy, not an appointment game. Appointments = corruption, making the swamp even swampier.

    I do think we should scale back the US government though. But we should do it by concentrating and refocusing effective programs. For example, dissolve the NSA, DEA, and ATF, and move the best talent to CISA, CIA, and FBI. We should also increase collaboration between departments, I’ve read far too much about information being lost because the CIA refuses to work with the FBI, for example.

    So trim, but strengthen the most useful agencies while cutting the ones that violate our rights and waste money. I think we can get a lot more out of the agencies we have.
