Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard may have been "guided" throughout her more than 24 years in politics by Chris Butler, the leader of a group countless ex-members have described as a "cult," an extensive report from The Washington Post revealed Sunday. Gabbard began her career in politics as a Hawaii state House representative in 2002, climbing the ranks over decades before being appointed as Director of National Intelligence last year, a position she resigned from last Friday citing her husband's deteriorating health. However, after obtaining "hundreds of confidential memos," the Post revealed that much of her decision making over the past two decades " from what she should say to what bills she should introduce " may have been "guided" by Butler, who founded the Science of Identity Foundation, a new religious movement that began in the 1970s, which some scholars have called a "cult."


New cases of New World screwworm have been confirmed in West Texas, prompting the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand its response, including immediate sterile fly dispersal flights over Crockett County. In a post on X from the USDA's New World Screwworm Rapid Response, the agency said that "in the last 24 hours, 1 lamb in Crockett County, TX, and 2 calves in Edwards County, TX have tested positive for New World Screwworm, bringing the total number of domestic confirmed detections to 15." The USDA said it "has already taken action and will be starting sterile fly dispersal flights over Crockett County (outside current affected areas) immediately."

A New Washington Post expos raises questions about former National Intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard and her Hare Krishna guru's desire to shape world politics. Investigative journalist Jon Swaine published his findings Sunday in a lengthy feature for the Washington Post about Gabbard's relationship with Chris Butler, "the eccentric religious leader Gabbard once described as her guru." Swaine wrote that "Gabbard grew up in Butler's breakaway Hare Krishna group" and that "Her parents held senior positions in the organization."
