AS I was saying, it’s crazy how the shutdown at D.H.S. is affecting other agencies too. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, for instance… these guys are basically running blind without a Senate-confirmed leader. It’s like trying to fight cyber threats with one hand tied behind your back.

And don’t even get me started on the demoralized employees. They’re not just worried about their own jobs; they’re concerned about the agency’s ability to protect our country from real threats. This is what happens when we prioritize politics over people and the public interest. We end up with a weaker, less effective government that can’t even keep us safe.

Just because some politicians think this shutdown is “just” a minor annoyance doesn’t mean it isn’t causing real harm to America
