“I am appointing the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, William J. Pulte, to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago.” – President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump has announced who will replace Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

Gabbard announced her resignation as DNI last month after serving in the office for a year and a half. She cited her husband’s “extremely rare form of bone cancer” diagnosis as the main reason.

‘Bill is a great guy who recognizes that the bureaucracy of the intel community must respond to the elected leadership.’

Now, Trump has appointed William Pulte to take her place as acting director.

Pulte was the head of Pulte Homes, the third-largest homebuilder in the U.S., with billions in revenue, before he was picked by Trump to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

The great gerrymandering race of 2026 is still well underway with California, Utah, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida all gearing up with new maps this year. Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi could also have new congressional maps by November after the Supreme Court’s ruling against racial gerrymandering.But national news was made last week when the Supreme Court of Virginia issued a 4-3 ruling striking down Democrats’ 10-1 congressional redistricting referendum that passed on April 21. The majority opinion was written by Justice D. Arthur Kelsey, whose term expires in January 2027 – a fact that made the ruling politically consequential, given that Virginia’s General Assembly elects state Supreme Court justices.

The ruling said what many independent legal experts had been claiming this entire time: The Democrats rushed the constitutional process and set up a voting referendum with improper procedures. Not only that, the language of the referendum was purposefully misleading. And after spending more than $70 million to campaign on this new map in Virginia, the Supreme Court of Virginia has already struck it down.

Since the ruling, Virginia Democrats have filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the justices to halt the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision and revive the redistricting measure before the 2026 midterms.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated on Saturday that he plans to remain in office despite his ruling Labour Party suffering among its worst local election losses in decades.

“I’m not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos,” Starmer told the BBC. “I think the right thing to do is to rebuild and show the path forward.”

The anti-immigration Reform U.K. party made sweeping gains in local councils in England, mainly at the expense of Labour, while the pro-independence Plaid Cymru party won the most seats in the Welsh parliament, overturning decades of Labour rule. The Scottish National Party took the most seats in Scotland’s devolved parliament.

Alberta separatists said Monday they have formally submitted almost 302,000 signatures to try to trigger a referendum on the province leaving Canada.

The group needed 178,000 signatures to force the province to consider such a vote.

The question of separation could go on a provincewide ballot as early as October, as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said she would move forward if enough names are gathered and verified. Smith has said she personally does not support the oil-rich province leaving Canada.

A yes vote would not trigger independence automatically. Negotiations with the federal government would have to take place and Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said some Indigenous groups who are already using the courts to prevent an independence referendum would use venues including the courts to stop independence from happening.
