Emerald Robinson discusses the partial defunding of the Center for Internet Security (CIS) by Trump's team at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This move is viewed as a step against alleged censorship activities tied to the Biden administration.
• The CIS is criticized for being part of a flawed election system, involved in censorship under the Biden administration.
• CIS reportedly received $70 million in grants from the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
• It acted as a means for the government to report "misinformation" to social media platforms, impacting the election's integrity.
• CIS is linked to the Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC), funded for $27 million in FY 2024. EI-ISAC channels information from state election officials to social media.
• The report from the Congressional Committee on the Weaponization of Government reveals details of this structure and activity, with over 17,000 pages of documentation and testimonies.
• After the defunding announcement, Robinson questions why funding isn’t completely cut, suggesting a deep-rooted issue with federal control over state elections.
Robinson emphasizes the need for transparency and political action in the wake of these developments. She hints at upcoming exclusive stories about election integrity and calls for support for independent journalism.
