Officials in President Donald Trump's administration are reportedly "scrambling" in an all-hands-on-deck operation this weekend to gin up support for Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard.Axios reported recently that Senate Republican Conference chairman Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has turned the conference's official X account into an unofficial Tulsi Gabbard "war room," in an effort to get her across the crucial first hurdle in her confirmation battle. Gabbard will need every Republican vote in the Senate Intelligence Committee to advance her nomination to the full Senate, and more than one Republican has indicated hesitancy in their support of Trump's pick to lead the United States' 18 spy agencies.According to the outlet, the Trump administration is focusing particularly on convincing Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) to back the former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and military veteran. During Gabbard's confirmation hearing this week, Young and other senators confronted her on her refusal to call National Security Agency contractor-turned-whistleblower Edward Snowden a "traitor."READ MORE: 'She lied to us': Ex-Gabbard staffers speak out about 'insane' meeting with Syrian dictatorTrump is reportedly considering reaching out to Republicans on the Intelligence Committee to assure them that he would not pardon Snowden — who was granted political asylum in Russia by President Vladimir Putin — in order to ensure they vote for Gabbard's confirmation. One unnamed Trump advisor told Axios that "the president will have those conversations" if necessary."We feel OK about Tulsi's chances," an anonymous senior White House official told the outlet. "But we want to feel better."Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) are among the other senators that could vote with Democrats against Gabbard's confirmation. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) already suggested that he wouldn't bring Gabbard's nomination before the full Senate if she failed to win over all nine Republicans on the Intelligence Committee. But MAGA activists are already promising to back primary challenges against any Senate Republican who votes against Gabbard."We are 100% serious," said Andrew Kolvet, who is a spokesperson for Turning Point Action. "GOP senators in red states will open themselves up to well-funded, well-organized primary challenges if they stand in the way of confirming the Cabinet the president wants and the American people voted for."READ MORE: 'Email Putin all our war plans': Experts blast Trump for picking 'Russian spy' Gabbard as intel chiefClick here to read Axios' report in full.

Inc. (NYSE:MRK) concerning its Gardasil vaccine, just ahead of his Senate nomination hearing on Wednesday, Jan. 29.The arrangement, disclosed in an ethics agreement and court documents, has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest as Kennedy seeks to lead federal agencies that regulate drugmakers.Citing the ethics filing, the New York Times writes that Kennedy, a prominent vaccine skeptic, will continue receiving fees from cases referred to Wisner Baum, a law firm suing Merck over its Gardasil vaccine.

In the month since the presidential election, some things are starting to become clearer though many questions remain.What Can Be Expected on Day 1President-elect Donald Trump has made it clear that on Day 1 he plans to immediately reverse pauses on all liquified natural gas (LNG) export permits to accelerate oil and gas production and “lower energy prices.” Trump will push for more oil drilling on federal land and we also expect that the administration and Congress to move quickly on revamping DOE’s role in LNG export licenses under the Natural Gas Act. Trump also repeatedly promised on his campaign trail to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement on climate change once again, meaning the US would not have to abide by any “nationally determined contribution,” the non-binding 10-year national climate plan that the US is supposed to submit by a February 2025 deadline.Trump’s next likely targets include the recently finalized Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methane fee on...
