White House Defends Tulsi Gabbard's Role in FBI Raid on Election Center.
The White House has doubled down on its defense of Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who was present at an FBI raid on a Georgia election center. Earlier today, President Trump said that Gabbard had gone to Fulton County "at the urging of attorney general Pam Bondi", which marked a departure from remarks he made in an interview with NBC News earlier this week.
At a briefing today, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that it is part of Gabbard's role to ensure American elections are free of foreign interference and safe. The White House has also confirmed that Trump had discussed some of the items on the list of demands by congressional Democrats as negotiations on a full year funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security continue.
Leavitt also claimed that there is no federal law requiring county jails to coordinate with federal law enforcement, although some sheriffs in Minnesota have signed agreements to work with ICE. The White House has maintained its stance despite criticism from many who say this is an attempt to intimidate voters and deter them from participating in the upcoming midterms.
The controversy surrounding Gabbard's role at the election center has sparked debate about the need for foreign interference measures in American elections. Leavitt said that it is not a problem if some Americans have concerns, and that the media has been discussing Russian interference in elections for many years.
In other news, Kamala Harris has relaunched her social media account @KamalaHQ as "Headquarters", which aims to be an organizing hub for Gen Z. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that further US sanctions against Russia depend on talks aimed at ending its war in Ukraine.
The White House has also confirmed plans to unveil a new website called TrumpRx, which will help Americans buy prescription drugs directly from manufacturers.

. I mean, she's just doing her job, right? She's trying to protect our elections from foreign interference. It's like having a security guard watching over the place. And what's wrong with President Trump wanting to know more about what's going on in Fulton County? 
It seems like he was just trying to get some answers.
. Getting prescription drugs from manufacturers could save people a lot of money and hassle. Let's focus on something positive for once 
.
We need to focus on voter protection and election integrity, not trying to intimidate people into voting 
And what's with the White House trying to spin this as a pro-election thing? Isn't the goal of having a free and fair election that we all know about? 
Anyway, just my two cents...
and now karoline leavitt is claiming there's no law requiring coordination between county jails and federal law enforcement? 
that sounds fishy to me, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out...
I think this is actually kinda cool that Tulsi Gabbard was present at the FBI raid on the election center! She's been all about keeping our elections safe from foreign interference, and now she's putting her money where her mouth is. It's a big step for someone in her position to take a stand like that, even if it's not exactly popular with everyone.
She's making an effort to connect with younger voters and start some important conversations. That's something to get excited about!
. anywayz, i think this whole thing is just makin a big ol mess 
... meanwhile, kamala's back on socials & trump's gettin ready 2 launch a new website 4 buyin prescription meds online 
It seems a bit extreme even if there were some concerns about foreign interference. And can we not just agree on the fact that we need better measures in place without getting into who's responsible for what? 
she's keepin it real about election security & foreign interference, yaaas! 
anywayz, i think its super important to have ppl like gabbard makin sure our elections are on point 
so let's not judge her for doin her job 
. And Kamala relaunching her socials as HQ is a sick move 
, especially with Gen Z at the helm. But what's up with Tulsi and that FBI raid? 
. I'm all about free and fair elections, but this just feels like voter suppression 
. The White House needs to clarify things ASAP 
. And btw, have you guys seen the new iPhone 15? 
. What exactly was she doing there? Was it just a coincidence that she showed up or is there more to it than meets the eye 
? The White House seems pretty firm about her being part of this, but I'm not convinced 
. Maybe we need some transparency here 
. And by the way, has anyone thought about how this whole thing is gonna affect voter turnout?
