Fair warning that this account may be insufferably political for the next 75 days. It is not just my belief that *real freedom* requires having full say over our bodies, which books to read, seeing our votes counted, or sending my children to school without having to memorize their outfits in the event someone mentally unstable brings an AR to school... It is because I am pro-business, and in my business— cybersecurity— I have seen Biden-Harris make more progress than any previous administration combined. Brilliantly, without ham-fisted regulation, they have limited the cyber blowback from Ukraine, raised the bar for federal contractors, agencies and critical infrastructure, and prioritized "secure by design," like no political leadership before them. CISOs are grateful for the "Shields Up" campaign timed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the declassification of specific cyber threats like "Pipedream." Can you even imagine what Trump's response to Putin's "special military operation" would have looked like here? [SHIVERS] CISA, under Biden-Harris, has brought the detection and response time for China’s Volt Typhoon attacks on our water treatment facilities, oil and gas, railways etc. down from months and weeks down to hours and minutes. All this has received very little coverage, but has nearly eliminated my former skepticism about what the federal government can do without real authorities, in short order. This, thanks to Biden-Harris' ability to rally, recruit, and assemble the best cyber leadership of my lifetime. Trump, by contrast, eliminated the critical position of White House cyber coordinator, fired-by-tweet the man responsible for securing our elections, tried to undermine our elections, despicably inviting, even encouraging, foreign interference. And then, set out to personally to destroy hundreds of years of faith in our elections, culminating before everyone’s eyes, with January 6. How short our memories that some would forget how he actively whipped up his supporters to attack our Capitol, attack those brave Capitol police men and women, and send them *with nooses* after his own VP. How vile that his supporters would defile OUR American flag, using its flagpole to beat police that day. That, alone, should have been disqualifying. Instead *his* "judges" handed him presidential "immunity." I will be proudly voting for Harris-Walz and intend to do everything in my power to convince you all to do so, as well. Weirdos, be damned.
