Tulsi Gabbard's presence at an FBI raid of an election center in Georgia has sparked controversy, with President Donald Trump defending her actions as "seditious behavior by traitors". Gabbard, who is the director of national intelligence, was reportedly present at the raid to observe and ensure that American elections are free from foreign interference.
The White House has doubled down on Gabbard's presence at the raid, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that it is part of her role "to make sure that American elections are free of foreign interference, and that American elections are safe and secure". However, some have questioned Trump's comments about Gabbard, which marked a departure from his previous remarks.
The FBI raid in question was aimed at seizing almost 700 boxes of 2020 election documentation. The White House has also announced the unveiling of TrumpRx.gov, a new website that aims to help Americans buy prescription drugs directly from manufacturers, with agreements from 16 large pharmaceutical companies to cut prices for Americans.
Meanwhile, Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan has refused to sit down for an interview with Attorney General Pam Bondi and US Attorney Jeanine Pirro regarding a video that she and other Democrats made urging troops to refuse illegal orders. Slotkin stated that she would not legitimize their actions and urged them to retain her records in the event she decides to sue.
In other news, Governor Tina Kotek of Oregon has demanded the Trump administration halt all federal immigration enforcement actions in the state until recent "use-of-force" incidents are thoroughly investigated. The governor also announced that more than 30 Oregon mayors have signed a letter supporting her demands.
Tulsi Gabbard's role in the FBI raid has also sparked debate, with some critics accusing the White House of whitewashing her actions. In response to questions about Trump's comments on Gabbard, Press Secretary Leavitt stated that the media is "confused" and that Gabbard's presence at the raid was justified.
The White House has also defended its plans for a rule change that would allow federal agencies to fire tens of thousands of federal workers more easily. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said it was reclassifying certain career civil service roles to "quickly remove employees from critical positions who engage in misconduct, perform poorly, or obstruct the democratic process by intentionally subverting Presidential directives".
Kamala Harris has relaunched her social media account @KamalaHQ as a platform for young people to stay engaged in politics. The rebranded "Headquarters" is a partnership between Harris and the liberal advocacy group People for the American Way.
In a press briefing, Press Secretary Leavitt said that the administration is willing to discuss some of the items on the list of demands sent by Senate Democrats, but noted that others do not seem grounded in common sense. The White House has also defended its decision to send Steve Bannon's comments about federal immigration agents being present at election sites in the upcoming midterms.
The US military conducted a kinetic strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Eastern Pacific, killing two people. The strike comes nearly two weeks after the US killed two people in another strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific.

as some ppl think she was just doin her job, makin sure elections are secure & free from foreign interference 
. But others say Trump's comments were super unfair & kinda attacked her character 
. Idk, maybe we can all agree that American elections matter? 
. Anyway, I'm more worried about those 16 large pharmaceutical companies agreeing to cut prices for Americans... 
it's a big win! 
As director of national intelligence, it's her duty to make sure our elections are free from foreign interference. I'm not surprised Trump had a beef with it, he's always been pretty sensitive about his own election shenanigans 
. But some people need to chill out and stop making assumptions about what she was doing there. Maybe the media is getting too caught up in trying to create controversy? 
- it's about time we got some real action on lowering prescription drug prices! 16 big pharmaceutical companies agreeing to cut prices for Americans is huge news. Let's hope this means more good stuff comes out of it 
That's awesome! More young people getting involved in politics is exactly what we need.
, but honestly who knows what was going down at that raid? I think it's legit that she was there to make sure our elections are secure and free from foreign interference. And btw, 700 boxes of election docs is a lot to be seizing, doesn't that seem excessive? 
Also, I'm kinda glad Kamala's relaunched her social media account, someone needs to bring some positivity to the politics scene 
That's some wild stuff. And now the White House is doubling down on her actions, saying she's just doing her job. But what if she's not? What if there's more to it than meets the eye? 
I'm low-key hyped for this! It's like, she's trying to connect with young people and get them engaged in politics. That's a solid move, imo. And the fact that it's a partnership between her and People for the American Way is even better news. 
. Maybe we should talk about the actual issues rather than personal attacks? 
[
like wut's wrong with observin & makin sure elections r free from foreign interference? i no some ppl might b thinkin its seditious behavior but tbh gabbard sounds like a total boss 
anyway back 2 the trumps Rx gov thing tho - cant wait 2 see if it really helps ppl save money on meds 
. And what's with all the back-and-forth between the White House and Senate Democrats? It feels like we're getting nowhere fast 
.
. Meanwhile, there are actual issues with the administration's plans to fire federal workers without due process... that's some real seditious behavior if you ask me 
what do you guys think about Kamala Harris relaunching her social media account tho?
