Isn't her agency one of those on Musk's chopping block?

yes and he being a foreign national and also a "crony' (IMHO) of Putin and Trump, could really care very little about US intelligence and how it is collected.  As mentioned above, you can bet the other 4 eyes will be double checking whatever intel they might consider passing on to the US so they can protect their sources.

I remember long ago when republicans cared a lot about national security.

Many still do. We'll need to count on them to stop Gabbard.

What the majority of Americans wanted in voting for Trump and his Project 2025 ilk. I am just rolling over playing dead. Waste of time fretting … May they get everything they supported by voting for him.

It's like he went out of his way to pick the worst most damaging possible choice.

The traditional U.S. intelligence partners (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom) will not be able to trust the U.S. anymore if she is in charge of intelligence. They would be completly justified in cutting the U.S. out of the traditional group. That is why her confirmation is a threat to national security (among other things such as her being a Kremlin propaganda repeater). 

There are other very bad picks remaining now that Gaetz is out, of course RFK Jr. and nominated defence secretary Fox News guy.

But I think the confirmation of Gabbard would be the most consequentially dangerous one of all the bad picks.

Not at all sure that the analysts on Monitor can be trusted, and there are enough checks and balances within the US system to keep a tight grip on security in terms of both intelligence and policy. No worries.

As with most things, whatever the left says, they need only hold up a mirror to see who is actually doing it. Here we have a strong, intelligent Woman of Color who is being defamed by the Democrats. Obvious misogyny and racism at work.

Elon Musk happens to be a naturalized U.S. citizen.  And who are you a crony of, Xi Jinping ?

And up until a short while ago she was also a Democrat.

It is not by role to censor opinions, but just making ranting personal attacks really is not adding anything constructive and will be removed as per forum rules.

 

So if you have an opinion on the topic then post and discuss it, not other posters.

No problem.  By the way, there have been a number of foreign born, naturalized citizens that have had distinguished political careers.  Some have served honorably in the U.S. military, including Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.

Trump had no choice when his first choice, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was killed by Putin.

 

But this one may be better. Who isn't scared when woman in charge has menopause symptoms;

 

"Menopause can cause symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes and irregular periods."
