Amid rising cyber threats, the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 proposes to significantly reduce the scope of CISA, which could undermine the agency's ability to protect against cyber attacks and misinformation. This move aligns with former President Trump's agenda and his critique of CISA's role in debunking electoral misinformation. If implemented, CISA's counter-misinformation efforts would be halted, its relationship with social media firms would change, and its cyber defense responsibilities could be redistributed to military and intelligence agencies. As a result, the United States could face an increased risk of cyber threats that can disrupt societal stability, influence elections, or compromise sensitive information.
