Tulsi Gabbard has trusted "foreign propaganda" over the very people she would lead as America's spymaster, making her wholly unqualified to be director of DNI, foreign policy, WaPo columnist Josh Rogin wrote. "She has been accused of being a 'Russian asset,' a 'useful idiot' and even 'Russia’s girlfriend.' "The head of the U.S. intelligence community must be willing and able to distinguish between democracies and autocracies, and separate propaganda from reality."

Elizabeth Neumann, a national security expects more "chaos" to return to the U.S. national defense agency after Trump nominated Kristi Noem to be its next head. Neumann said, "It's a little concerning for the agency itself that you have somebody coming in that really knows nothing about homeland security and hasn't had that much experience actually..."
J.D. Vance lashed out at The Associated Press after it has reported that Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for Pentagon Head, is a possible ‘Insider Threat" due to his arm tattoos that have been used by white supremacist groups. Hegseth's tattoo “Deus Vult,” which means 'God wills used by Crusaders as their battle cry in ancient times. Vance said, "This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself."

U.S. Senator Mike Rounds is pushing back after Mike Johnson announced his opposition to the Ethics Committee releasing the report on its years-long investigation into Matt Gaetz. Rounds said that the Senate has a constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent on presidential nominees and is required to examine all evidence it can during the confirmation process. He added that if necessary, they will subpoena the House Ethics Committee’s report on Gaetz.

Melania Trump is a naturalized American Citizen. Will Tom Homan have her deported along with her father and son Baron Trump?
Trump has his sights on undocumented Black and Hispanic migrants to begin the state-sponsored violence. Tom Homan, who Trump's soon to be Immigration head, helped write part of the immigration policies for Project 2025. He famously bragged that if he found families with “illegal” members in this country, he’d simply deport the entire family, US citizens or not. Stephen Miller has already said he’s gleefully going to try to undo the citizenship of naturalized US citizens

Trump is being criticized over purportedly inexperienced people he says he intends to nominate to his Cabinet. Nina Burleigh said that the kind of Trump's overreach could be the "seeds of his demise." She said that some Republicans might be willing to join with Democrats and say, "Let's get this guy out of here." She said the disaster could be a "boomerang" back at Trump, in which the Senate and presidency face off against each other, and the Supreme Court must step in.

Pete Hegseth was removed as one of the security details for Pres. Biden's inauguration as was deemed an extremist because of a cross tattoo on his arm that was identified with Crusaders who fought with Moslems in the Middle Ages. His anti-Moslem sentiment is clear when he wrote in his book: “Just like the Christian crusaders who pushed back the Muslim hordes in the twelfth century, American Crusaders will need to muster the same courage against Islamists today,”

Pete Hegseth, nominee for Secretary of Defense, has "Deus Vult" tattoos, both symbols and the words.
It originated as a rallying cry in the Crusades against Muslims. It has been more recently embraced by Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists in the United States.
