CISA’s budget is being cut $707m for the next year, it also had a budget cut last year.

The CVE contract is due for renewal btw, it was on a one year deal after last years farce where nobody had the budget to renew it - it was since added as a protected line in CISA’s budget but it’s unclear now if that will survive.

@GossiTheDog I haven't been able to find the exact number on the MITRE contract, but -$707M would be close to a third of their budget. And their entire 2025 budget request was a lot of "efficiencies" which amounted to canceling contracts or just not paying.

It's impossible to see that contract surviving or being funded. Do you know how many war crimes they could commit with $707M?!

@GossiTheDog @blogdiva Maybe it will be called Epstein Files Federal Prison.
@GossiTheDog
Who the hell wants to make US less secure against digital hackers?! I mean, outside of Russia and North Korea?
@GossiTheDog Don't we have enough of a vulnerability backlog to be working through until the next administration anyway? I think we should accept this as a great opportunity to just stop coming up with vulnerabilities.
@GossiTheDog There's definitely something wrong with these people. Can't really blame brain damage from huffing lead any more. Maybe it's ultra-processed food or something?
