June 2: President Trump named Bill Pulte, who in his role running a federal housing agency pressed for investigations into the president’s political foes, to serve as acting director of national intelligence (DNI), giving him oversight of the United States intelligence agencies.

According to Congressional Statute, the DNI should "have extensive national security expertise". Mr. Pulte will continue to run the housing agency while taking on the position of director of national intelligence.

The latest order shows Trump is persisting in his efforts to discipline and fire career employees whom he sees as undermining his political goals.

Today, Sec Rubio confirmed what we’ve all suspected: foreign governments are actively using disinformation campaigns and influencer psyops to undermine our foreign policy and rip our country apart.

He stands for some LEOs all right, those who fit up minorities, those who take bribes from or work for organised crime in their spare time, those who run child prostitution rings, those who are so mentally unstable that they had been washed out of basic by their state militia.

Oh, wait that's most US cips right there.
