Hard agree with this and this matches what I’m hearing about the agency. That said, the failures start with Noem, DHS, and its approach to governing. Policies have been actively hostile to those working at the agency, messaging is prioritized over action, policies that make it harder to work overtime or telework or flex to the needs of actual problems, etc and that will likely continue under a new director.

We’ve torched cooperation, shown we cannot protect classified information - if one didn’t know better one would think it was on purpose - but in general incompetence typically reigns. They just don’t think the agency should exist after they said elections in 2020 were generally secure.

Extremely embarrassing that the current POTUS should be in prison specifically for his mishandling of classified information
