Tulsi Gabbard received Lisa Murkowski’s endorsement for DNI. She should breeze through the Senate. Susan Collins already agreed to RFK Jr.
“I will vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. While I continue to have concerns about certain positions she has previously taken, I appreciate her commitment to rein in the outsized scope of the agency while still enabling the ODNI to continue its essential function in upholding national security. As she brings independent thinking and necessary oversight to her new role, I am counting on her to ensure the safety and civil liberties of American citizens remain rigorously protected.”
I like Murkowski’s reasons and hope she sincerely wants the agencies reduced with oversight.

I hear McConnell is the only No vote on these nominations.
Is he “able” to vote. He seems in worse shape than Biden.
The behavior of these 2 ladies is silly. These 2 are on the left, yet they have to go through machinations to approve of 2 nominees who were democrats, and still have some positions on the left.
Look at the reasons given. The main hesitancy to approve of RFK is his opposition to corrupt big pharma. You will never hear these 2 ladies attack big pharma. One of the ladies phrased it as RFK may oppose biomedical research. She is lying. That was never an RFK policy.
The main hesitancy for these 2 to approve Tulsi is her opposition to illegal surveillance, warrantless surveillance. That is the same illegal surveillance used to attempt to frame and remove Trump, who they despise.
So the ladies were supporting raw, corrupt power, in pharma and intel. They phrase is as their effort to protect the nation and keep people healthy. No sale.
To often those we call RINO’s cause us to be so negative we forget they are human beings that at times can be sensible and make wise decisions for he good of the USA. Thank you Susan and Lisa for a lesson that at least I for one needed.
Sorry, but a scorpion is a scorpion and we can’t change its nature…
