Last April, CISA issued an 11-month extension for its CVE program with MITRE, rescuing the program from an almost certain death.
Since then, CISA and MITRE have negotiated a new deal that puts the CVE program on firmer footing.

CVE program funding secured, easing fears of repeat crisis
The funding crisis that nearly shut down the global vulnerability tracking system last year has quietly been resolved, easing fears of another abrupt disruption to a cornerstone of the cybersecurity ecosystem.

Re “apply the pressure anyway:” that’s advice I got from…Keith Ellison.
I was part of a citizen group pressuring him to vote for the ACA when he was in the House. He met with us, and gave us an impassioned speech about universal care and how the ACA was a good first step but insufficient, relating it to the less-remembered civil rights acts of the 1950s that laid the groundwork for the big one in 1964.
Somebody from the group finally asked him, “Why are we meeting with you? You’re already convinced!”
He replied (paraphrasing here): “I •need• your pressure. I need it even if I already agree. If you’re pressuring me, then I can get on the floor of the House and say ‘My constituents are beating down the doors of my office! This has tremendous support!’ I can tell my colleagues in private about how agitated voters are. If you apply pressure, I can pass that pressure forward. I need you to do it! •That• is why you’re meeting with me.”
And now Keith Ellison is MN Attorney General. He’s already started doing the right thing. Follow his advice, and apply that pressure!

Please apply pressure to electeds, urging them to aggressively pursue state charges against ICE officers, in defiance of the FBI if necessary.
Many of them already want this. State AG is already taking steps to do this. Apply the pressure anyway; the pressure helps.
