“Yeah, so the platform that I’m running on mainly focuses on housing, energy, healthcare, and education.

For housing, it mainly revolves around deregulating with regard to Act 250 and increasing taxes on short-term rentals, which are a very prominent problem in Vermont.

 For energy, it’s nuclear power. If we were to reopen a nuclear power plant, we would secure energy independence.

And for education and healthcare, it’s auditing those systems, which are very inefficient in Vermont, and making sure that we get them to be efficient once again—and that they’re at a standard where Vermonters can both afford them and lower their tax bill.”

Buried For 7 Years: Declassified Transcripts Blow Up Trump Impeachment Story

 In a long-awaited release that sent ripples through Washington on Monday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) has declassified closed-door 2019 transcripts from briefings with then-Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) Michael Atkinson. The documents, withheld from the public for over seven years, reveal critical details about the anonymous “whistleblower” whose complaint about President Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky triggered Trump's first impeachment - details that directly contradict the narrative of a neutral, non-partisan civil servant acting in good faith.

  The revelations come via investigative reporter Catherine Herridge, who broke the story on X with direct screenshots from the transcripts and statements from key officials involved in the declassification.

What the Transcripts RevealAccording to the newly public records:

The whistleblower was a registered Democrat who disclosed having a “prior professional relationship with one of the Democratic Presidential candidates” for the 2020 election (widely understood in context to reference then-former Vice President Joe Biden, given the whistleblower’s known Ukraine policy background).

Despite this, ICIG Atkinson told Congress in a 2019 briefing: “I did not find the complainant (whistleblower) was biased.” He relied almost exclusively on the whistleblower’s own self-disclosure.

The whistleblower had met with staff from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) - then chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) - before filing the official complaint with the ICIG on August 12, 2019.

Timeline: Trump’s July 25, 2019, phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy occurred just 18 days before the complaint was filed. During that window, the whistleblower had undisclosed contacts with Schiff’s committee.

On the official “urgent concern” disclosure form, the whistleblower did not check the box acknowledging contact with congressional intelligence committees. When pressed by then-Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX, now CIA Director), Atkinson confirmed: “The whistleblower did not disclose to you that he or she had contact with HPSCI?” Atkinson replied: “The answer to that is yes. The answer to that is yes.”

These details are laid out verbatim in the declassified pages Herridge posted, complete with highlighted exchanges from the October 2019 closed-door session.

  The 2019 Backdrop - and Why It Was HiddenThe complaint alleged that Trump pressured Zelenskyy during the July 25 call to investigate the Bidens in exchange for military aid - a claim that became the cornerstone of the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry launched in September 2019. Trump was impeached by the House in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, only to be acquitted by the Senate in February 2020.

 At the time, the whistleblower was portrayed across much of the mainstream media and by Democratic leaders as an impartial career intelligence official. The new transcripts show that key questions about political affiliation, potential conflicts of interest, and coordination with Congress were raised behind closed doors - but never fully disclosed to the public.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR) stated upon the release:

“There have been many questions and concerns about these Atkinson transcripts, which have been withheld from the American public for far too long. I hope that the release of these transcripts allows the American people to make their own determinations about their content. Thank you to Director Gabbard and her team for moving these so quickly through the declassification process.”

The process began with a HPSCI vote in late March 2026 to unseal the transcripts, followed by rapid declassification under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

In short, we now have official, on-the-record confirmation of long-standing Republican concerns that the impeachment process was politicized from the outset. They show an ICIG who accepted the whistleblower’s self-assessment of impartiality at face value, even after learning of partisan ties and unreported congressional contacts - facts that were blacked out or minimized in earlier public handling of the case.

Rep. Burchett Reveals Gov’t Giving $40 Million per Week to the Taliban and Dems Oppose Ending It

 Burchett said billions are flowing through so-called non-government organizations and international bodies with little to no transparency.

 He pointed directly to the United Nations and a sprawling network of NGOs as conduits for that money.

 He’s the Majority Whip. He can bring this bill to the floor for a vote. Thank you.

This started as U.S. vs Iran… now it’s slowly turning into a U.S. vs China situation, and that’s where things get risky.

  The U.S. blockade targets ships going in and out of Iranian ports, but China is basically saying its ships are off limits.

That puts Chinese tankers and U.S. Navy inspections on a direct collision path.

And it doesn’t even take much. One boarding, one standoff, one ship stopped… and things can escalate fast.

This isn’t just about Iran anymore.

 CHINA has issued a strong warning to US reinstating that China has an energy agreement with IRAN and it ships will not be intercepted.

 China has ships in the region, surveillance watching everything, and an economy that can’t function without Gulf oil.
