The full senate vote was 52-48. Senator Mitch McConnell (U-DC) was the lone republican who voted against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Tulsi Gabbard is now DNI.
Additionally, the Senate voted 53-47 on the cloture vote for Robert F Kennedy Jr as nominee for Health and Human Service Secretary. With senate debate now ended, the full confirmation vote on RFK Jr could come tomorrow.
WASHINGTON – The GOP-controlled Senate on Wednesday voted to confirm Tulsi Gabbard to be President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, putting the former congresswoman in charge of the sprawling U.S. intelligence community.
The 52-48 vote was largely along party lines, with nearly all Republicans present voting in favor of Gabbard. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the former longtime GOP leader who has clashed with Trump, was the only Republican who joined all Democrats in voting against her.

Yesterday, Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pointed a finger at the FBI for leaking the details of an ICE deportation sweep to the Los Angeles Times in order to tip-off criminal illegal aliens. Today, Tom Homan says, “Kristi Noem was correct, some of the information they are receiving leads to the FBI.”
During an interview tonight with Sean Hannity, Border Czar Homan also said the Acting Deputy AG is going to pursue criminal charges against the FBI leaker. WATCH:
🚨BREAKING: Tom Homan confirms the ICE operation leak appears to have originated from the FBI, says there’s now a criminal investigation.
I have long said the only thing President Trump needs to do is to tell Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he needs to hold an election to showcase his public support for his position. After that, Trump can do nothing except wait for the result and the winner of the election to come to him. Then, engage with Putin on a resolution to the conflict.
Would Zelenskyy win the election? I don’t think so, but who knows. Today a video surfaces where Zelenskyy was directly asked why he has cancelled all Ukraine elections, and would he restart them now. Zelenskyy said no, he would not hold elections because holding an election would mean a pause in the warfighting and that would be a win for Russia.
Ukraine President Zelensky claims that the Ukrainian people oppose elections and prefer he continue to rule.

Quote: “In regard to elections, everything is clear. More than anything we all want the war to end and for us to have elections. However, as long as the war continues, our population is against elections, all people are against it.”

U.K Pundit Neil Oliver provides a platform for a very important conversation.
Two researchers, Sasha Latypova and Debbie Lerman, appear with Mr. Oliver to discuss the “COVID DOSSIER.” An extensive research document that outlines how the origin of the COVID-19 response originated from within the military and intelligence community and not, NOT, from public health officials.
As Sasha, Debbie and Neil discuss, regardless of the SARS-CoV-2 origination, what really matters is what the apparatus of the global intelligence community did in the aftermath of what was called a “global pandemic virus.”
“It is crucially important to understand that COVID was a globally coordinated response based on legal frameworks intended for biodefense/biowarfare situations. The attack that initiated the global COVID response could have been real, perceived, or invented—regardless of the trigger, the lockdown-until-vaccine paradigm originated in the military/intelligence biodefense playbook, not in any scientifically based or epidemiologically established public health plan. [ref]
This means that nothing about the response—masking, distancing, lockdowns, vaccines—was part of a public health plan to respond to a disease outbreak. Rather, every aspect of the response was intended to induce public panic in order to gain compliance with biodefense operations, culminating with the injection of unregulated mRNA products, which were legally treated as biodefense military countermeasures (MCMs), into billions of human beings.”
In a strange way, the timing of this research publication release aligns with my current concerns about DOGE revelations within the USA about the USAID and CIA activity.
In short, I worry the “old system of control” mechanisms are no longer needed. The Western global intelligence apparatus, driven primarily by the USA intelligence community, is moving on from public influence operations that required widespread convincing and propaganda. I fear a “new system of control” will be technologically driven and triggered by newly created technological mechanisms.
This is where Real ID, Facial Recognition, Palantir AI and govt funded technological interfaces could come into play.
