Homeland agency expanded authority to wage ‘domestic surveillance and censorship,’ House report says
No "cyber component" needed for proposed "rapid response team" to parachute into local jurisdictions to help election officials with "informational threats," agency subcommittee said.

Secret documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show that a Department of Homeland Security agency "expanded its mission to surveil Americans’ speech on social media, colluded with Big Tech and government-funded third parties to censor by proxy, and tried to hide its plainly unconstitutional activities from the public," according to an interim staff report released Monday night.
The findings add details to reporting by Just the News about the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and its work with private entities to remove, throttle and label purported misinformation on elections, Hunter Biden and COVID-19 — efforts that might even constitute election meddling and sometimes target true content.
The "severe public outcry" in spring 2022 against DHS's Disinformation Governance Board, shuttered a few months later, so alarmed CISA and its advisors that they "tried to cover their tracks" on censorship and surveillance, which "included scrubbing CISA’s website of references to domestic 'misinformation' and 'disinformation,'" the report says.

"In response to concerns from election officials of all parties regarding foreign influence operations and disinformation that may impact the security of election infrastructure, CISA mitigates the risk of disinformation by sharing information on election literacy and election security with the public and by amplifying the trusted voices of election officials across the nation," he said.
The agency "has conducted its work in plain view, operating with the highest degree of transparency," posting its guidance on its website or sharing it "directly with election stakeholders," according to Wales. In a site-wide update to "over a thousand webpages, we clarified language describing CISA’s work on foreign influence operations and disinformation related to election infrastructure security."
Commentary:
This won’t stop the Maoist Marxist Democrats in their relentless quest for a Marxist America. Khrushchev called it in his address to the UN way back in 1959.This Nation will be a communist totalitarian country without a shot being fired.
A Maoist/Marxist Democrat majority Congress writes a vague law authorizing the creation of an agency and its mission, then allows the agency to write its own rules and regulations. All deliberate. This allows politicians to abdicate their duties since Court's have repeatedly ruled to give deference to the agency in their rulemaking and how they define certain actions. That needs to stop, and Congress needs to return to doing their jobs rather than outsourcing it to un-elected bureaucrats.
