Educational institutions that have been banned from practicing racial discrimination in admissions (such as all public universities in California since the 90's) have insisted on continuing to find other ways to covertly racially discriminate in admissions. It's clear from their actions that racial discrimination in admissions is a fundamental value for these institutions, and they should not receive any taxpayer funding until they stop such disgusting and bigoted behavior.
Stop carrying water for them.

I haven't seen any reasonable evidence on this. I'm not saying that evidence doesn't exist, it's just everything that I've heard so far as been debunked. The current administration has been shown to lie and exaggerate over and over to justify these actions so I don't know why anyone would assume they're telling the truth about this.
You mean the 24 hour period where people freaked out and assumed things that weren't true? The renewal came down to the wire just like most do during negotiations...MITRE tossed the news out there to stir up concerns but it was all just sensationalized. A "funding lapse" is not the same as "contract not renewed yet"...
Doesn't seem like an untrue assumption. Feds decided not to renew the contract, people got upset, and later the feds decided to renew the contract the night it would expire [1].
This is like saying Y2K is a nothingburger because people updated the code to handle more than 2 digit years. It's because of the people getting upset that triggered a preventative measure preventing the problem. It's just the superman movie [2], if the kid just listened to clark kent then superman would've never been necessary.

I wish people cared less about this particular issue, though, because we'd do fine with a non-government-sponsored CVE.
It's more of a "break fast and move things" approach.
There's no particular reason a vulnerability database needs to be government-sponsored, and some compelling reasons why it shouldn't be "owned" by one government or another (one being guaranteed continuity even during seasons of change).
> The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) first announced the project in June 2024 under a mandate from the EU's Network and Information Security 2 Directive, and quietly rolled out a limited-access beta version last month during a period of uncertainty surrounding the United States' Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program.
And many countries already have relatively easy visa processes for skilled workers, which would be what these scientists, developers, etc are.
It'd involve spending money to sponsor research and clear a path for people to come over. Make it really easy.

Not a massive program, but shows there is intent
