Contact your senators to demand they exercise advice-and-consent authority by requiring intelligence community leadership nominees to meet baseline qualifications and undergo thorough vetting, regardless of party.
This represents severe institutional capture (5/5) of the intelligence community—appointing a housing finance director with no intelligence experience to lead DNI. Bipartisan Senate criticism (Tillis, Warner) signals genuine separation-of-powers concern and rule-of-law erosion through unqualified loyalist placement. The precedent-setting nature (normalizing expertise-free appointments to sensitive positions) elevates severity. While generating moderate media attention, the governance harm substantially exceeds the hype.
