General Kruse is a career military officer with decades of distinguished, non-partisan service to our nation, making this ouster all the more troubling.

When expertise is cast aside and intelligence is distorted or silenced, our adversaries gain the upper hand and America is left less safe.

The firing of yet another senior national security official underscores the Trump administration’s dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test rather than a safeguard for our country.

That kind of honest, fact-based analysis is exactly what we should want from our intelligence agencies, regardless of whether it flatters the White House narrative.

When we start purging agents for doing their jobs, instead of toeing a partisan line, we weaken our defense against everything from violent crime to foreign threats, and that makes us all less safe.

But given Director Gabbard's track record of politicizing intelligence – including her decision just yesterday to revoke security clearances from career national security officials – I have no confidence that she is the right person to carry out this weighty responsibility.

Sen. Mark Warner acknowledged broad, bipartisan agreement that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is in need of thoughtful reform.

I know what it's like for families today. I got things done to lower costs. That's what I'll do as governor, too.

Sears backs Trump's cuts to education and health care, too.

Under this administration, we've seen policy after policy that makes it harder for public servants to do their jobs and ultimately harder for veterans to get the care they've earned.

If the administration is serious about honoring our veterans, it needs to stop undermining the VA workforce and start recruiting and retaining the skilled professionals who care for our heroes.

The desperate and irresponsible release of the partisan House Intelligence report puts at risk some of the most sensitive sources and methods our Intelligence Community uses to spy on Russia and keep Americans safe.

We should be outraged by the firing of April Doss, a deeply principled public servant, apparently for the role that she played in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian election interference.

It’s very disappointing that the Netanyahu government, not the Israeli people, but the Netanyahu government has choked off humanitarian aid since virtually the very beginning, but most brutally recently.

What I'm doing in Virginia in August is I'm going to talk about Medicaid and Medicare and SNAP.

Republicans took away people’s health care, took away their nutrition benefits to cut taxes for the wealthy and ran up $3 trillion in debt. And so they’re getting people to talk about Epstein so that people won’t find it out. … Any discussion about Epstein diverts attention from what we ought to be talking about.

It’s going to hurt Israel in the long run.
