I don't know why US senators are up in arms about this. Trump was extremely clear when he gave them his budget that he wanted CISA's budget drastically cut. He also specifically directed CISA to shut down their election security office.
This is the "who killed Hannibal" meme. If Padilla and Warner didn't know about this, then they're incompetent themselves. Especially because they reported on it last year:

Why did you forget this happened, Padilla?

because behind any senator there is a propaganda team, not a brain
It takes brains to run successful propaganda.
It takes brains to run propaganda that successfully changes minds.
Propaganda that just confirms preexisting mass delusions is actually pretty easy to run if you have a lot of support from similar actors running adjacent campaigns.
