Good morning.

If you went to sleep at 2:30 a.m. like I did and are just waking up, here are a few things to know:

1️⃣ The House and the Senate remain uncalled.

2️⃣ So do governorships and secretary-of-state races in AZ and NV.

#Election2022
3️⃣ In AZ Sen: NYT estimates that many votes remain in one Democratic area & several Republican areas. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

4️⃣ In NV Sen: NYT estimates that lots of votes remain in two D areas, while some votes remain in several R areas. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

#Election2022 ImageImage
5️⃣ Two big ballot measures that I didn't see called before 2:30 a.m. (but might have just missed):

*️⃣ Michigan enshrined a constitutional right to abortion: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

*️⃣ Missouri legalized recreational marijuana: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

#Election2022
6️⃣ More than 210 Republicans who questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election won congressional and state executive races, according to NYT. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

7️⃣ Vulnerable House Democrat Elissa Slotkin won reelection in Michigan.
8️⃣ Democrats won complete control of the Michigan state legislature for the first time since in 1983, giving Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a big break after she spent years tangling with the Republicans who led both chambers.
9️⃣ A fun bonus fact about a contest you probably weren't aware of:

Voters in Cobb County, Ga., voted to turn the unincorporated community of Mableton into its own city, vindicating a mission that @planetmoney chronicled in July. results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/Cobb/115499… npr.org/2022/07/08/111…
🔟 If you, like me, love reading about election firsts, here are a bunch from @playbookdc. politico.com/newsletters/pl… Image

If you didn’t get chills or cry watching this week’s episode of #Andor, I don’t know what’s wrong with you.

Cassian rises to meet the moment, Mon Mothma confronts a horrible choice, and Stellan Skarsgård and Andy Serkis earn their Emmy nominations.

Unparalleled storytelling.
The opening scene shows Cassian's come a long way from the meek fish out of water who first arrived on Narkina 5.

He sees the prisoners' power, the guards' fear, and the resulting opportunity. We’re seeing him turning insights about the Empire into motivation & logic for action.
“Power doesn’t panic” is such a great line, and I love these consistent reminders that, while Cassian is far from a Rebel leader at this point, he already has an excellent grasp of the way the Empire operates — and the weaknesses inherent in its approach.

by god that's @mikeduncan's music
This #Andor interview with Tony Gilroy is honestly so good. The man has a clear (and refreshing!) vision and is fearless about executing it.

"Drama is watching people you care about in difficult circumstances make decisions that you’re interested in."

Just gonna lay down this marker for #Andor season 2: I predict that Mon pushes Luthen out when all the unsavory foundational work is done and it's time to start building an inspiring public face. ImageImage

What a likely GOP House takeover means for cyber:

* Less progress on major issues
* Uphill battle for WH regulation push
* New skepticism of CISA budget boosts

Watch homeland panel leadership races in both chambers.

My and @magmill95's new story: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/articl…
The House and Senate homeland security panels have powered Congress's historic emphasis on cybersecurity over the past two years.

With GOP panel leaders retiring and their replacements likely to prioritize border security and other partisan topics, that's about to end.
Two of the three contenders to lead House Homeland GOP did tell us their plans for cyber oversight and policymaking.

But b/w their own instincts and the demands of their panel members and broader caucus, expect the border to still dominate.

We know less about the Senate panel.

Speaking at #mWISE, @ncdinglis says Biden's National Cyber Strategy will "probably come out in the next month or two or three, given the processes that exist in Washington."
Inglis says the strategy will address regulation and market forces, the international dimension of cybersecurity, assigning roles and responsibilities to the right people, and "how do we actually get critical infrastructure into the right place."
Inglis says cyber defense is getting better. "Defense, in fact, looks like it's becoming the new offense — not in a provocative way, which is intending to hold others at risk, but that defense can in fact hold its own."

Speaking at @AuthenticateCon, @CISAJen challenges "my friends in the technology space to adopt a policy of radical transparency around MFA adoption."

She wants them to disclose the % of their customers, sysadmins, and employees enrolled in MFA, broken down by authenticator type.
“We need seatbelts and airbags that are built in, not aftermarket add-ons," Easterly says, calling MFA "the seatbelt of the information superhighway."

Vendors should care, she says, because "safe-by-default and safe-by-design is good for strategic and reputational growth."
“Let's move the responsibility of staying safe away from customers to our incredibly capable vendors," Easterly says.
