President-elect Donald Trump has selected Tulsi Gabbard as his choice for director of national intelligence, citing her distinct political background and history of service.
A military veteran and former Democratic representative from Hawaii, Gabbard has often stood apart within her former party, advocating for a blend of populist and independent policies that increasingly clashed with mainstream Democratic views. (Gabbard’s public departure from the Democratic Party was particularly notable, occurring at a Trump rally in 2024, where she officially announced her alignment with the Republican Party.)
Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for the opportunity to serve as a member of your cabinet to defend the safety, security and freedom of the American people. I look forward to getting to work. pic.twitter.com/YHhhzY0lNp

If confirmed, Gabbard’s leadership in this critical national security role would mark another unconventional move by the incoming Trump administration, signaling a shift from business as usual in Washington, D.C.

I wish Tulsi Gabbard good luck in her new job. I am afraid that she is going to be dealing with a lot of resistance.
Can she work with the CIA?
Is the coma over ?? By this I mean ? At what point do we all start using common sense ? Not only country, but world is topsy . All this Political correctness is destroying humanity. There comes a POINT to REBUTE ! Try a different approach. When something is not working satisfactory ? Do I need to say MORE ? Humans need to realize things, times, circumstance’s, Idealistic, good or bad. The world keeps spinning. The only sound fall back is ? get ready ! ( COMMON SENCE ) I do not like HUMANS ! But to live ,exist, we need to coincide . COMMON GROUND, No longer politics the NORM !!! No greater or Holly than though. Just basic REALITY, till something better comes. A great example: ( CLIMATE CHANGE ) We once where a SWAMP ? then a ICE cube ? Congenital drift ? OK. granted man is causing acid rain, garbage. Every action a reaction. THE BIG ANSWER till a Solution !!! is MODERATION in ALL THINGs. There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth or: Collateral damage. BUT ! we got to start somewhere , and TRY A NEW VENUE !!!!!!!!!!! It maybe too late ? would pray not ,but time will tell!!!!!!!
