MISSING from the State of the Union: The REAL State of our Homeland Security

WASHINGTON, DC— After spending 72 minutes painting a rosy picture of the state of our union to Congress tonight, President Biden failed miserably to take stock of the reality of the state of our homeland security. We know the American people don’t believe for one second Joe Biden is improving the strength of our union, as evidenced by their decision to give Republicans the majority in the House of Representatives. The Committee on Homeland Security will not let President Biden push his jaded narrative, and we will consistently and firmly remind him of the impact of his failed policies—and will set the record straight.

MISSING: Cyber-attacks continue to be a pre-eminent national security threat of our time. We face cyber threats from criminal actors and nation-state adversaries targeting government and private entities alike – including our hospitals, schools, and financial systems. Our cyber resilience remains key to the state of our union, which President Biden failed to address.
