Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wants the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to be abolished, but described the prospect as "unlikely," he told Politico.

"I'd like to eliminate it," Paul told the outlet. "The First Amendment is pretty important, that's why we listed it as the First Amendment, and I would have liked to, at the very least, eliminate their ability to censor content online."

"While it's unlikely we could get rid of CISA, we survived for what, 248 years without them," Paul said, according to Politico. "I think a lot of what they do is intrusive, and I’d like to end their intrusions into the First Amendment."
