✦AI Summary
The Atlantic reports that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has faced significant budget cuts and leadership instability under the Trump administration. Experts fear these internal weaknesses leave U.S. critical infrastructure and upcoming elections vulnerable to foreign cyberattacks.
Why it matters
National security is at risk if key defensive agencies are underfunded or politicized, particularly during periods of international conflict.
Experts worry that the water-system hacks may be a warm-up for attacks on the elections in November.
