After 9/11, Congress fused 22 agencies drawn from eight Cabinet departments into one Department of Homeland Security, and it has never worked as one. Disaster relief, airport screening, cybersecurity and immigration enforcement answer to the same chain of command, and the enforcement arm keeps winning.

Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot: if elected, will you vote to break up DHS and put every one of its agencies under real, independent oversight?
