Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard faced criticism for her response to the resignation of Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

In his resignation letter, Kent said that he was quitting because he could not "in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran."

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones urged President Donald Trump's MAGA supporters to follow the lead of Joe Kent, an intelligence official who quit the administration over the war in Iran.

"Well, it's historic time for America and the world. Facts are all coming out. This is truly the age of revelation," Jones declared on his Tuesday broadcast. "Joe Kent. The head of the Office of National Counterterrorism, number two under Tulsi Gabbard, who oversees all 17 intelligence agencies, went public and resigned and said Israel's basically staged a coup over the Trump White House on foreign policy."

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard indicated tepid support for President Donald Trump. Still, she did not endorse the war in Iran following the resignation of Joe Kent, one of her top deputies.

"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today," Kent said in an X post on Tuesday. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Republicans who will be out of power and, in some cases, out of a job will look back on how they let President Donald Trump use his bully pulpit to pursue his own interests while leaving them “holding the bag” with furious voters.

That was the lesson delivered by Politico’s Jonathan Martin on MS NOW Tuesday, where he vociferously asserted that GOP lawmakers are headed for a disaster in November.

Donald Trump’s attack on the president of Ireland in front of Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin in the Oval Office hit a rough patch on Tuesday afternoon.

As the president jumped from topic to topic, he was pressed about comments made by the Irish president who stated, “The normalization of war can never be accepted. Now, more than ever, we must renew our commitment to peace and diplomacy in line with the principles of international law as set out in the United Nations charter.”

CNN anchor Jim Sciutto reported that European Union (EU) officials had turned their backs on President Donald Trump in Iran after he poisoned the well by trying to take over Greenland and threatening the NATO alliance.

In an angry Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump said NATO countries "don't want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran."

House Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to define President Donald Trump's claim that he would end the Iran war when he feels it in his bones to mean "informed by the intelligence."

"President Trump recently said that the war in Iran will be over when he feels it in his bones," a reporter told Johnson on Tuesday. "What does he mean by that?"

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back at U.S. intelligence official Joe Kent after he resigned over President Donald Trump's war with Iran.

"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today," Kent wrote Tuesday in a post on X.

The abrupt resignation of Donald Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center with a very public rebuttal of the Iran war could lead to more officials fleeing the embattled White House.

Early Tuesday morning, Joe Kent, who worked hand-in-hand with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, dealt a devastating blow to the president’s war narrative that was already being greeted with no small amount of skepticism.
