URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Washington insiders hate nothing more than losing their grip on power, and Acting DNI Bill Pulte just yanked it right out of their hands. With dozens of Deep State intel officials already fired or sent packing elsewhere, the swamp is squealing, and leading the chorus is none other than outgoing RINO Senator Thom Tillis, who apparently has nothing better to do.
Pulte has fired over 50 career Deep State intel officials since taking over the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Six career and political intelligence staffers were terminated outright, while 45 others were sent back to their home agencies. CNN’s Kristen Holmes posted on X: “The deep state firings have begun.”
Firings at the Office of the Director of National intelligence started today, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

The move is exactly what President Trump ordered. Trump directed Pulte to “execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office” in a Truth Social post earlier this month. Pulte wasted no time getting to work, and on Tuesday evening he offered some reassurance to those worried about national security in the process, stating: “Today, I spent time with the National Counterterrorism Center team, who is doing an incredible job protecting our Country under President Trump’s leadership. The room was filled with true professionals and American patriots. It is a privilege to work beside them.”

So far, so good, unless you’re North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis.
Tillis, who has already announced he won’t be seeking reelection, a decision that no one in the America First movement is mourning, ran to CNN’s Manu Raju to deliver one of the most colorfully unhinged takes of the week. “My guess is, based on his past experience, it’s just going to be another hot-steamy pile of DOGE shit!” Tillis said. He wasn’t finished, adding: “I think he’s an incompetent sycophant and not the right person to lead DNI, and you’re undermining the next DNI.”
Senator, we get it, you don’t like the guy.
For anyone who needs context on Tillis: this is a man who has spent years in Washington cozying up to the establishment, bucking his own party, and doing the left’s dirty work on key votes. A textbook RINO in every sense of the word, and on his way out the door, he’s apparently determined to go out with a bang rather than any dignity intact.
The ODNI was created in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks to prevent intelligence agencies from failing to share critical information with one another. Republicans like Sen. Tom Cotton have pointed out the office has since ballooned well beyond that original mission. Trimming the fat isn’t a scandal, it’s common sense. Pulte’s cuts have been described by at least one source as “thoughtful and methodical,” which is more than anyone could say about Tillis’s performance.
