If you told me in 2015 that the "pro-peace" activist Tulsi Gabbard who accepted donations from arms dealers would be the 2025 Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, I would not have blinked an eye. She's never stood for anything but herself.

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

Seems like Bidens last thing in office will be pushing for Ukraine while simultaneously abandoning Palestine and Lebanon, something that will grow the dogpile of abandonment receipts by the Dems to Arabs and Muslims.
