## Resource

Trump taps housing mogul Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence — a surprise move that bypasses traditional security expertise in favor of political loyalty. Pulte, known for fiery attacks on political foes like Schiff and James, will juggle his mortgage duties alongside the high-stakes role, drawing sharp criticism from Democrats who question his qualifications. His controversial legal battles — including a pending Supreme Court case against Fed governor Lisa Cook — further fuel debate over whether this appointment prioritizes loyalty over national security competence.
