In 2020, Tulsi Gabbard launched a Democratic presidential campaign shaped in part by a false ballistic missile alert that rattled her home state of Hawaii.
Now, in a video filmed in Hiroshima, the DNI warns that America is on the brink of nuclear war.
My latest for ABC News.
Exclusive: DNI Tulsi Gabbard leading the U.S. delegation to Singapore for Asia’s top security summit, Shangri-La Dialogue.
This is her second major trip to Asia in recent months and a clear signal of the Trump administration’s focus on the Indo-Pacific. #SLD25
My latest for ABC News.
I thought of Rep. Charlie Rangel this morning and his service during the Korean War.
He led a unit to safety despite being wounded by shrapnel while under siege, earning a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
He died on Memorial Day, a solemn day to remember his legacy.
The Lion of Lenox Avenue gave me my first shot in politics.
As a young intern, I worked for Rep. Charles B. Rangel, CBR to us, during the most difficult year of his nearly 50-year career.
My reflection on his legacy.
Meta’s legal team argued in court that the case centers on broader “industry issues in a new industry, it’s not just Meta,” itself. They claimed many of Meta’s innovations and acquisitions were in response to moves by other major “peer” tech companies.

I’ve been in court for the past four days.
Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, a YouTube executive, and a venture capitalist have all testified.
The trial, which is not being streamed in federal court, could reshape the future of tech.
A thread. 🧵 abcnews.go.com/Business/met...
What if Facebook stayed on top by buying its rivals, not just outcompeting them?
That’s the main question in the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust trial against Meta.
The FTC says Meta built a monopoly through strategic acquisitions. Meta says it’s simply competing in a fast-moving industry.
Meta claims it has 'no monopoly' as landmark antitrust trial gets underway.
My latest dispatch from Mark Zuckerberg's first day in court.

ODNI’s mission review will assess the role of its officers working outside the D.C. area—about a dozen in total.
“The DNI’s mission review will ensure ODNI’s resources outside the WMA (Washington DC Metro Area) are best positioned to advance the core mission,” per DNI Spokesperson Alexa Henning.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard also cut all funding for conferences unrelated to ODNI’s core mission, which is expected to save an additional $3 million annually at the agency which employs around 2,000 staffers mostly in the D.C. area.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard talked about her decision to eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at ODNI, a move her team says will save $20 million under Trump's executive order ending DEI initiatives.
