Heard from several senators over the last few months that passing the SEA wasn't particularly urgent because they'd already doled out $380M. Granted, not all the money went to secure new voting machines, or was allocated to the states that needed it most. But a lot of it did.

The elections cybersecurity bill had been set for a markup late last month before pressure from state officials (and the White House) prompted a last-minute cancellation. At this late date it prob would've done little to secure the Nov. elections, but the optics still are't great twitter.com/jacq_thomsen/s…

The White House's @WHOSTP announced the creation of a new quantum subcommittee today, along with a govt-wide strategy to spur basic research and discover new uses for quantum science. Also directs federal agencies to come up with a quantum plan by Q1 2019. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

If you’re just joining us, Rod Rosenstein has resigned but also hasn’t resigned yet and is going to the White House in order to resign and also to be fired and also he’s already BEEN fired and is already gone and also isn’t resigning or getting fired.

Congress is looking to tuck an expansive counter-drone provision into the must-pass FAA bill, and privacy advocates are worried it won't get a fair hearing before next week's deadline. njour.nl/s/672660?unloc…

The House passed its own driverless car bill over a year ago, and #AVSTART sailed out of Commerce last October. But despite pressure from @Waymo and others in tech, the bill couldn't overcome holds from Dianne Feinstein and a handful of other Dems. twitter.com/SCourtneyDC/st…

Such a stupid unforced error—handing Trump yet more ammunition to delegitimize all the objective, airtight, fact-based reporting out there. Mistakes happen, but on a 1-10 avoidability scale, this was an 11. twitter.com/jdawsey1/statu…
