That revelation comes from a new report from the House Weaponization Subcommittee on a little-known Homeland Security sub-agency called the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
And it was followed Tuesday by a blockbuster preliminary injunction from a federal judge barring contact between Team Biden and social-media companies, who cited evidence of a “massive effort” by the White House and federal agencies to “suppress speech based on its content.” ...
