In our new @hothtakes episode, we were talking about how weird it is that Ahsoka is still supposed to be an uncertain youngster in season 2 of her show, and @billkuchman pointed out that Ahsoka is supposed to be almost 50. 😮 hothtakes.wordpress.com/2026…

Andersen also dodged my question about whether (and if so, when) CISA would comply with a congressional requirement to restore funding to the EI-ISAC.
CISA's foot-dragging prompted a letter earlier this month from @SenAlexPadilla and @RepJoeMorelle. padilla.senate.gov/wp-conten…
