TOM COTTON WANTS TO DESTROY TULSI GABBARD AND BRING BACK DEEP STATE INTEL

Senator Cotton’s reform package, while framed in terms of efficiency, presents a significant risk of returning the U.S. intelligence community to a pre-9/11, opaque, and fragmented state. Given recent revelations from the DNI under Director Gabbard, the role is proving critical not only for coordination but also for exposing entrenched intelligence failures. Congress must either preserve ODNI’s full functionality or ensure that any disbanded elements are restructured under a framework that resists FBI/CIA dominance and upholds the post-9/11 oversight imperative.
