Donald Trump’s unconventional choice for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is already sending shockwaves through Washington. Once a Democratic congresswoman, Gabbard’s pivot to the GOP and backing of Trump now positions her to oversee key intelligence agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA. But is she ready for the job?

Her nomination has reignited debates about national security, foreign policy, and America’s response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

What does her nomination mean for U.S. intelligence and its global relationships? Join us as we break it all down with an emphasis on facts, context, and what it means for democracy.
