Fact #52: He is a self-proclaimed sci-fi fantasy guy when it comes to books. "I just finished reading the four-book series Mortal Engines. I read a lot of these young adult ones, because I do it with my kids. I was reading that one with Gus," he said in 2019. "And then I just finished one I would not suggest reading because it is terrifying: Command and Control. It traces the history of America's nuclear arsenal."

Statement attributable to Dr. Kate Starbird Associate Professor, University of Washington Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering Director and Co-founder, University of Washington Center for an Informed Public "Once again, the Examiner's questions reflect a deep misunderstanding of the work of the EIP and include mystifying insinuations and allegations that are profoundly untrue." "Neither I nor my colleagues at the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public were in touch with DHS or CISA in the fall of 2020, and we have no idea who at CISA recommended GEC reach out to us or why they did." "Once again, the EIP did not 'suppress domestic speech.' EIP researchers worked specifically to identify, amplify, and rapidly communicate about false claims that could have disenfranchised voters or diminished trust in election results. Those who benefit from the spread of falsehoods want others to believe that calling out their bullshit is 'censorship.' We disagree."
