President Donald Trump has proposed a 17% budget cut for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as part of his Fiscal Year 2026 spending plan, reducing its funding by $491 million. This proposal stems from his claims that CISA has engaged in censorship against conservatives, particularly in its efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation, which would be eliminated under the budget cuts. The Office of Management and Budget Director, Russell Vought, supported this narrative, accusing CISA of being part of a "Censorship Industrial Complex" and mismanaging its resources. However, former CISA executive director Brandon Wales pointed out that the agency's budget for misinformation initiatives was minimal, casting doubt on the validity of the proposed cuts.
