Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

CNN NewsNight has a meltdown over @ElonMusk becoming the world's first trillionaire.
Cari Champion literally says people "shouldn't be allowed to have a trillion dollars."
Scott Jennings shuts it down: "We already tax the rich... is it for us to sit around and say there's a limit on what you can build?"
Classic left envy on full display. WATCH:
Cari Champion: “There should be some checks and balances in this society. People shouldn't be allowed to have a trillion dollars.”
@ScottJenningsKY: “Rich people in this country pay the vast majority of taxes, and I hear people today saying, "Oh, it's time that we tax the rich." Folks, I got news for you. We already tax the rich. But is it for us to sit around and say, "There's a limit on what you can build, there's a limit on what you can earn," and it's now my job to tell you what to do with your money?”
I just got off the phone with someone who served alongside Pete Hegseth in the 101st Airborne. What he told me should end every "he's just a TV guy" argument permanently.
"Every officer I've ever respected had one thing in common. They weren't fighting for a paycheck or a promotion. They were fighting for something they believed was bigger than themselves. Pete is that guy. Always has been."
Hegseth stood at West Point today and quoted Isaiah 6:8 to the graduating class.
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, Here I am. Send me."
He didn't read it off a teleprompter. He delivered it the way a man delivers something he actually believes.
He chose this moment knowing half the country would mock him for it.
He chose this moment knowing the media would call it inappropriate.
He chose this moment knowing it would dominate the headlines for the wrong reasons.
He chose this moment knowing exactly what it would cost him — and said it anyway.
A defense analyst I know who has covered Pentagon leadership for fifteen years put it this way: "The difference between Hegseth and every SecDef in recent memory isn't politics. They all had the same podium. The difference is he actually believes something."
Read that again.
Every Secretary of Defense had the same stage at West Point. Only one walked out and told the next generation of officers that service is a calling, not a career.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications.
🚨 do you understand what just happened in the last 3 hours..
> jd vance made an UNPLANNED return to washington.. motorcade racing to the white house.. no advance notice..
> trump summoned the full national security team.. hegseth, gen. caine, the whole NSC.. not a briefing.. a decision meeting..
> trump scheduled a 1pm call with leaders of several arab nations.. the same leaders who talked him out of strikes five days ago by asking for more time..
> the rome round of u.s.-iran talks ended this morning without a breakthrough.. iran still refusing to give up uranium enrichment.. demanding war-damage compensation and strait of hormuz control as preconditions..
> trump had already called off a planned attack on iran around may 18 after direct requests from qatar's emir, saudi crown prince mbs, and the uae president..
> vance has logged 20+ hours in back-channel sessions.. described the ceasefire as "fragile".. described trump's red line as: iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.. full stop..
> iran rejected every u.s. proposal as "totally unacceptable".. the clock they were given to negotiate just ran out this morning in rome..
> the arab call isn't courtesy.. the last time trump convened gulf partners after a failed round, it paused military action.. this time he's calling them AFTER the talks collapsed..
every government on this list told their citizens "diplomacy is ongoing" within the last 48 hours..
all of this.. a single afternoon..
if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..
it's only getting crazier from here..
