Security council. As the New York Times reported at the time, quote, the elimination of the Cyber Security role is likely to increase concern of the Trump Administration shorthanded and unprepared to deal with increasing Cyber Security threats. Last night senator blumenthal said on this show the russian cyber attack made him both alarmed and scared. He could not fully elaborate because the information was classified but tonight we have a better understanding of why that might be. Politico reporting the Energy Department and National Nuclear security administration, which maintains the u. S. Nuclear weapon stockpile have evidence that hackers accessed their networks as part of an extensive espionage operation. The Energy Department since released a statement saying at this point, the investigation has found that the malware has been isolated to Business Networks only and has not impacted the mission of National Security functions of the department, including the National Nuclear securit
You. Before oh the country should be opened up and we should do it with masks and gloves. It should be mandated. But it is not. It should be. Thats what he should be saying. He should be saying, well, i have a friendship with this person and i standby them. Thats different. But thats wrong. I agree. That does not excuse his behavior. What hes doing is instead you should not drive, i am taking away the keys. He got into the car with the president. The friend thing does not work for me the same way but thats what the audience decides. The mask thing does work for me and well disagree. I dont believe in a mask mandate in terms of a yuniversa one except when the context warrants all places have to be treated equally. Right now if you have case explosions all over the place, okay, you can mandate it. Everybody has to wear a maessk d here is why. You cant leave it up to people because theyre not doing the right thing. The mistake ils talking about a mandate when a lot of places didnt have a
Media to spread disinformation. How an election season of sabotage led to a Holiday Season of delays and other issues. The u. S. Postal service. Congresswoman katy porter will join us on that. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Its beginning the look like the single biggest hack in history. Were learning more about the breadth of it every day. You may remember back when the coronavirus pandemic first hit, many people pointed out part of the reason its implausible the part of the reason our government was so unprepared was because the Trump Administration had reached in and disbanded a White House Pandemic Response Team in 2018. Now, as more and more extremely worrying details about russias massive cyber attack on our federal government come to light, assignments worth pointing out days after getting rid of the Pandemic Response team, the white house eliminated Cyber Security coordinator. The elimination of the Cyber Security role is likely to increase
Priority, fighting the covid pandemic, and bringing our economy back. On the covid front it looks like things are going to get worse before they get better. Over the weekend we hit a new covid milestone, 25 million cases, at the same time 420,000 americans have lost their lives. More than 20,000 died in the last week alone. Now, vaccines are out there, but things are moving slowly. Only about half of the total number of vaccines that have been distributed have actually made it into peoples arms. Some states are actually running out of doses completely. At the very same time President Biden is trying to deal with the economic side of the crisis. Today he will sign a new executive order focused on boosting american manufacturing, a made in america pledge followed by actual policy and then later tonight the house will deliver that single article of impeachment to the senate, the one accusing former President Trump of inciting an insurrection at the u. S. Capitol. The trial itself will not
Comes sweeping cross the plain went to joe biden. American samoa went as it does to the former mayor of new york, Mike Bloomberg. Texas we have at too close to call, which is a different characterization. Massachusetts, commonwealth of massachusetts is still too early to call. Minnesota still too early to call, art art ditto, too early to call. And the great state of maine, too early to call. Heres the delegates tonight. 15792. The point Steve Kornacki correctly has been making all night. Some version of that, if you had told us three weeks ago, two weeks ago, one week ago, we wouldnt have believed you. We would have called authorities. And theres the delegates won so far this season. Steve kornacki, i see youre looking at the great state of minnesota. Minnesota is the story weve been telling all night. You just did. If you had polled minnesota two weeks ago, im not sure biden would be getting a single delegate out of the state. He is leading Bernie Sanders. Basically all the Populatio
