“Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 former intelligence officials, the Trump administration’s latest move against Obama-era officials whom the White House accuses of undermining the Trump administration. In a memo she posted Tuesday on social media, Gabbard directed the heads of several national security agencies to immediately revoke the clearances of the officials, at the direction of the president, alleging they politicized or weaponized intelligence for personal or partisan gain.” [editor’s note: I’m against the idea that government should be allowed to keep anything secret in the first place, but if they are, wouldn’t it make sense for “security clearances” to be AUTOMATICALLY revoked any time someone leaves the job they’re issued for, instead of only when political distractions are needed? – TLK] (08/19/25)
