Itโs wild that the same day the president did a weird roof dance for no apparent reason, the state dept implements huge visa fees and the head of the HHS cancels vaccine research. This is just one day! And not even all the terrible things that happened! I feel insane!
Scoop: CISA's contract with ICF has expired, reducing the JCDC's contractor workforce from 100+ to just 10. CISA can use emergency money & 2-week extensions to keep those 10 around, but only through Sept. Other contracts also caught up in huge backlog. www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cisa-jo...
