## Resource

Acting Director Bill Pulte is shaking up the Office of the Director of National Intelligence with bold moves — axing six political appointees and sending back 45 career officials to their home agencies — all part of a presidential mandate to downsize. While some Republicans praise his strategic overhaul and anti-bureaucracy stance, top Democrats warn these cuts could dangerously weaken national security, especially since the ODNI was built to prevent attacks like 9/11. With more potential cuts looming, the intelligence community braces for impact — and questions whether this shake-up will strengthen or undermine America’s security backbone.
