More continues to break on Obama's Russian hacking story (a December 2016 presidential briefing proved that then-President Barack Obama knew the Russia-Trump collusion story to swing the election was fake—and went ahead with the operation anyway)

Gabbard confirmed that multiple intelligence whistleblowers—some of whom helped compile the now-debunked 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)—are “coming out of the woodwork” and preparing to hand over sworn affidavits to the Department of Justice. 

A snippet of the transcript of Gabbard with Bartiromo: 

We have whistleblowers, actually, Maria, coming forward now after we release these documents, because there are people who were around—who were working within the intelligence community at this time—who were so disgusted by what happened. We’re starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they, too, like you and I and the American people, want to see justice delivered.

This is very good news, in my mind. I'm hoping that said whistleblowers will just how bad this is in a way that Democrats will understand.

Here's an example of the ridiculousness of Illinois:

Illinois legislators are raising concerns over a $500,000 budget item for Lincoln College, a private school that shut down in 2022.

The earmark, added in a 2018 capital bill by then-state Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, was never funded but continues to appear in the budget each year because it’s still written into state law.

Critics call the situation “a banner of incompetence,” highlighting how such outdated line items can clutter the budget and fuel worries about mismanagement or misuse of taxpayer money.

State Sen. Sally Turner’s district included the Lincoln College facility.

“If the money is legally designated for that purpose, it can’t be used for anything else,” said Turner, R-Beason. “We have to request the release of funds, and then they’re supposed to release it. But that often doesn’t happen because the money isn’t available. They didn’t bond for it. It all depends on the governor’s office approving the release; it’s not up to the [Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity] to decide. Only once approved can the DCEO distribute the funds.”

State Rep. Bill Hauter, R-Morton, whose district included Lincoln College, said lawmakers get only hours to review thousands of budget pages, leading to billions spent with little oversight under the Democratic supermajority.

“It’s curious that legislators keep giving more power to the executive branch through growing slush funds,” said Hauter. “Executive authority is being expanded beyond its proper role, bypassing the legislative process. Illinois budgets increasingly include slush funds for the governor to spend at will, with money constantly moved around—making oversight and accountability nearly impossible.”
