    I completely understand that weak cybersecurity is a threat, but we already have the Department of Defense, Department of National Intelligence and Department of State covering it, so there is already built in redundancy, why do we need DHHS doing it too?

    Given the fact that Trump is going out of his way to install the worst candidates for every possible government position in existence, I’m actually glad for all the redundancy. With any luck, Trump won’t notice that at least one of these departments exists, leaves someone with more than 3 functioning brain cells in charge, and gives us at least some semblance of cybersecurity.
