In a world full of threats, gutting our intel community is like flying blind through a storm. Policymakers and military leaders can’t make smart calls without sharp intel. Cut that, and we all pay the price. #IntelligenceMatters #NationalSecurity #ODNI #defense www.thebulwark.com/p/america-is...
America Is Blinding Itself

Deterring China isn’t just about flexing muscle—it’s about having eyes everywhere, all the time. Real-time intel is the difference between reacting late and stopping conflict before it starts.

Intelligence should serve national security, not political agendas. When the CIA becomes a political tool, it weakens its mission—and that puts every American at risk.

Declassifying intel to settle political scores? That’s not transparency—it’s weaponizing national security. And if they’re scrambling to clean it up after… they knew it was reckless. 🗃️🕵️♂️

Calling out intel professionals doesn’t make you tough- it makes the whole country weaker. Real leaders value truth, not sycophants. Undermining the IC hurts our national security, plain and simple.

Glad someone hit the brakes. Slashing intel staff during a time of rising threats? That’s not trimming fat- that’s gutting the brain. Law enforcement and Jewish communities pushed back for good reason.

When intelligence is fact-based and unbiased, it keeps America safe. When it’s politicized, it becomes a weapon. The truth shouldn’t serve an agenda—it should serve the people. 🔍

Leaking classified docs-no matter the motive-isn’t whistleblowing, it’s a national security risk. Frustration with Trump doesn’t justify handing over secrets. There are legal channels for dissent. #NatSec #WhistleblowerOrTraitor #IntelligenceMatters www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

#Trump to cut wildfire relief funding if no one turns on the faucet.🚰🚰🚰 There we have it, folks. #Intelligencematters
Ok, MAGA, here’s what you voted for: No more FEDERAL disaster relief. Every state is on its own. CA takes care of only CA, and AL takes care of only AL. And folks in CA no longer pay taxes to help folks in AL, and vice versa. Every state is on its own. Cool? www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Twisting intel to fit a political script doesn’t just undercut the truth- it cripples the people who keep us safe. When the narrative matters more than the facts, it’s not leadership-it’s a liability.

An attack on US intelligence
The president’s willingness to manipulate assessments of Iran's nuclear programme suggests that he prioritises his public narrative over the effectiveness of America's intelligence services.

Trump’s beef with U.S. intelligence never really ended- it just changed scripts. First it was Russia, now it’s Iran. When you treat intelligence like a political enemy, you’re not leading-you’re guessing in the dark.
