  1. Early last summer, McNamara asked officials in the #Commerce Dept to consider the potential designation of #Dominion chips & software as a national security risk, the 2 sources said.

  11. After a tipoff from a media organization, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) drafted a memo describing allegations that a federal security officer was responsible for the failed Jan. 6 pipe bombings. A copy was circulated at the officer's workplace and among Trump administration officials, and conservative site Blaze News published an article naming her. The woman in question has now been ruled out as a suspect after she provided an alibi: A video of her playing with her puppies at the time the devices were placed. @CBSNews looks into the ODNI's part in it all.

  12. #FBI Opposes Push for Gabbard to Take Lead on #Counterintelligence

    The FBI made the disclosure in a pointed letter that underscored broader concern over a #GOP #House bill that would give more authority to [Russian asset] #TulsiGabbard, the director of national #intelligence.

    The FBI informed #Congress last week that it “strongly” opposed a proposal to make the #ODNI the lead #counterintelligence agency for the federal government….

  13. The letter came a day after Reuters disclosed that a review of government records showed that the interagency group drew dozens of officials from the #CIA, the #ODNI, the #DOJ, the #FBI & other departments.

    The existence of the interagency group indicates the #Trump admin’s push to deploy government power against Trump’s perceived foes is broader & more systematic than previously reported.

  14. The *Interagency Weaponization Working Group*, which has been meeting since at least May, has drawn officials from the White House, the #ODNI, the #CIA, the #DOJ & #Defense Departments, the FBI, the #DHS, the #IRS & the #FCC, among other agencies, 2 of the documents show.

  15. “draft of the 2025 Global Trends report was carefully reviewed by #ODNI Gabbard’s team & found to violate professional analytic tradecraft standards in an effort to propagate a political agenda that ran counter to all current president’s national security priorities” 👁️ san.com/cc/gabbard-e... #law

  16. The #Trump admin ordered the revocation of the #security clearances of 37 current & former #NationalSecurity officials, including some who worked on the #intelligence community’s assessment that #Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election….

    A memo from the #ODNI [Russian asset #TulsiGabbard], which was seen by The AP, accuses the targeted individuals of having engaged in the “politicization or weaponization of intelligence” to advance personal or partisan gain.

  17. "There is no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count through cyber means," wrote an #ODNI official whose name was redacted in a newly published email. "However, as seen in recent media reporting, any cyber activity directed against the election infrastructure is likely to have an effect on public confidence," they continued.

  18. For years, #Trump has spread #disinformation about those conclusions, calling the entire #Russia investigation a "hoax," despite supporting evidence that has been systematically reviewed by intelligence agencies, lawmakers & #DOJ lawyers.

    On Friday, #ODNI published a press release asserting that… #TulsiGabbard “revealed overwhelming evidence”that President #Obama & his #NationalSecurity officials “manufactured & politicized intelligence”to launch a “years-long coup against President Trump.”

  19. #Trump spy chief claims #Obama admin ‘manufactured’ intel on #Russia

    [Though she’s a Russian asset, so don’t take her word for it.]

    The #ODNI has published the latest in a series of recent Trump admin reports aimed at scrutinizing years-old #intelligence community conclusions about Russian #ElectionInterference in 2016 in favor of Trump.

  20. The short video, which appears to have been generated by #ArtificialIntelligence & posted on TikTok before being reposted on Trump’s Truth Social account on Sunday, comes days after the #ODNI issued the latest in a series of reports from the #Trump admin trying to undermine the 8-year-old assessment that #Russia favored the election of Trump.

  21. #DIG has obtained the unclassified email archive of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (#IARPA), a #technology development arm of the #intelligence community. The DIG team intends to do a test run of #AI tools on that #data, according to one person [what could go wrong?]. #TulsiGabbard has “directed a review of IARPA” in line with Trump’s goal of reducing waste & cutting costs, #ODNI spox said.

  22. So far, none of the #US #spy agencies approached has transferred the data, several people said.

The unprecedented interest in data by officials at the #ODNI startled some senior agency ofcls, who have expressed concerns about the #counterintelligence & #privacy risks of aggregating what could be a large amount of sensitive information that may include references to intercepts of electronic communications on overseas targets…

  25. U.S. #Spy Agencies Get One-Stop Shop to Buy Highly Sensitive Personal Data

    The government wants to build a centralized platform where spy agencies can more easily buy private info about millions of people.

  26. Hell No: The #ODNI Wants to Make it Easier for the Gov to Buy Your Data Without #Warrant

    ODNI is attempting to create the Intelligence Community’s Data Consortium–a centralized online marketplace where law enforcement and #spy agencies can peruse & buy very personal digital data about you collected by #DataBrokers. Not only is this a massive escalation of the deeply unjust #DataBroker loophole: it’s also another repulsive signal that your #privacy means nothing to them

  27. The #ODNI [Russian asset #TulsiGabbard] is working on a system to centralize & “streamline” the use of commercially available information, or #CAI, like #location data derived from mobile ads, by American spy agencies, acc/to contract documents reviewed by The Intercept. The #data portal will include #information deemed by ODNI as highly sensitive, that which can be “misused to cause substantial harm, embarrassment, & inconvenience to US persons.”

  28. A federal district judge on Monday continued to block the efforts of #Trump’s #CIA & other #intelligence agencies to fire officers who had worked on recruitment & #diversity efforts, ordering lawyers to present additional arguments on Thursday.

    There are 17 CIA officers & 2 employees of the #ODNI seeking to block the govt for firing them. Kevin Carroll, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the CIA is seeking to fire as many as 51 people involved in recruiting & diversity issues.

  29. #TulsiGabbard is confirmed to top *#intelligence* post, demonstrating #Trump’s thrall over #Republicans.
    The #Senate confirmed Gabbard director of the #ODNI in a 52 to 48 vote.

    #Democrats remained united against her. Sen #ChuckSchumer said Gabbard was not qualified & that in a secret vote, she would have received little Republican support.
    “We simply cannot in good conscience trust our most classified secrets to someone who echoes Russian #propaganda & falls for conspiracy theories.”

  30. Trump’s administration is pulling almost all #USAID workers off the job worldwide - apnews.com/article/trump-usaid; and Via NPR - Employees at the #CIA Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency #NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence #ODNI were sent deferred #resignation offer letters this week npr.org/2025/02/05/nx-s1-52877 #trump #FederalEmployees #government #democracy #nationalsecurity #food #nutrition #medicine #HIV #AIDS #politics #congress #economy

  31. So far #TulsiGabbard’s hearing is far more typical of a “normal times” back & forth. Civil, informative & she’s actually answering questions.

    #KashPatel’s on the other hand is tilting more towards the #RFKJr spectacle.

    I suspect she will be confirmed despite the sketchiness in her background.

    I truly hope there are enough #Republicans who won’t vote to confirm a clown like KashPatel.
