A curious correction from Axios: “Editor’s note: This story has been corrected to reflect that Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, did not attend the meeting.”
So, the president and his entire national-security team gather for a high-stakes meeting, almost certainly knowing that a massive Israeli airstrike against Iran is days away, and the U.S. director of national intelligence isn’t invited? What does that tell us? Maybe someone in the Trump inner circle doesn’t want to trust Gabbard with the knowledge that an Israeli strike against Iran is imminent?

To be fair, what does she really bring to the table? It’s not like they can’t get the info they need from other people.
U.S. Allies have not been sharing as much intelligence since tulsi took over. Again she is in a literal cult, no one trusts her.
Gabbard should have been no where near any part of the US national security apparatus, let alone appointed DNI. The President might as well have appointed Tucker Carlson.

Trump said he didn’t care what she said, which is pretty damning for a DNI
Oh wow, are they LEARNING?
I do have questions about the rest of them, too, but Ms. Gabbard so obviously works for foreign adversaries that it's not even funny.
The exclusion of Gabbard from such a critical meeting suggests a lack of trust in her judgment on sensitive Israel-Iran policy matters.

And maybe just possibly she supplied some of the information they are perusing over
It's funny that she's the only one that's been releasing files but now she's a problem.
Or, she might be the one person who pushes back as she posted here on ‘X’ (in 2020) something like, ‘anyone who wants to war with Iran is a warmonger’. 
I think she’s a terrible DNI but that’s just because I’m educated. Maybe she’ll change my mind someday.

People should have paid more attention to Trevor Loudon and what he said about her. He's done his homework.
She needs to go. Along with the rest of the national security team. We already know Hegseth is a walking talking security threat with a complete misunderstanding of his job. Rubio has sold out his principles. Both of his envoys display only fielty to Trump with complete
On the other hand Gabbard could be gathering information from intelligence that could protect America should the problems arise?
President Trump issued an executive order indicating that he will focus on using the Alien Enemies Act to combat international cartels that have become entwined with “mafia states”.
"he knowledge that an Israeli strike against Iran is imminent?"
Right, because who would suspect that a massive strike is coming? 
She's a leftist isolationist. Never should have been appointed. Her comment ls after Trump's Al-Soleimani hit were disqualifying. WWIII she screamed! And of course the Iranians just hid in fear.
more likely is realizing that has turned into a real Amy Coney Barrett
Also possible the Trump is pissed at her because of her testimony in March and he got called out on it
Silly question perhaps, but an important distinction - not invited or didn’t attend (but invited)? Is there confirmation that she wasn’t invited other than her non-presence?
He doesn’t care about her opinion.

Q: Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon.
Trump: I don’t care what she said. They were very close to getting a nuke.

She said Iran wasnt building a nuclear weapon. Statement didn’t fit the program
I would suggest it’s because even Trump knows she’ll leak to Putin whatever they discuss that same day & he’ll tell Iran

JTG was under fire for his frank discussions on many current issues.
Well, on his mad dash retreat from embarrassment yesterday, he literally said, "I don't care what she said," about Tulsi.
She's a deranged lunatic and has been for her entire political career. She shouldn't be DNI, and Trump made a serious mistake appointing her to appease the isolationists within his base.
If she truly believed she deserved to be at that meeting she has to resign. This was an insult at the highest level. If she doesn’t resign it means she’s staying on solely to scrape as mulch top secret info as possible
Or - based on Trump statements - the DNI is relying on actual intelligence reports that disagree with the narrative Trump wants and he - in his own words - doesn't listen to her
Well, it reinforces the idea that her Hiroshima pronouncement was keyed to trying to dissuade DJT from any involvement in any possible Israeli action

When you appoint serious people to positions of power you don't have to worry about stuff like that
confirmed the dangerous Gabbard too. All to make the fascist administration happy, we don't matter.
So why did she get nominated for the position? Why was she appointed?
This is not governing. It's careless. Pretty much what I expected from orange julius round 2.
So they know she's a foreign asset, which is fine for them as long as it's only screwing over Ukraine. But when it is about something actually near and dear to them she's out.
Are we sure this isn't a smaer campaign by pro-Turkey/Qatar side? After all even Vance when asked, a week ago, not 3 months away, said he "didn't know if Iran was making a bomb", yet no one mentions him, why? Tulsi pissed a them on AQ Jolani and syria, yet POTUS hugged him
Doesn’t say she wasn’t invited, just that she didn’t attend. Would be interested to know why though…
Because it wasn’t accurate, it carried a tinge of sadness and contemplation.
Because it was incomplete, it was an image of the people she knew… with their contradictions, inadequacies, and frailty.

"I wasn't at the meeting. Don't put in the newspaper that I was at the meeting".
Are we all going to act now as if Tulsi was never Putin's asset? So is Trump, but Tulsi is Trump's handler.
I think what she told him about Iran wasn't what he and his buddy Netanyahu wan't to hear. I'm not a Gabbard fan at all, but I'm more inclined to believe her over Donnieboy and Netanyahu.
You can guess it is imminent from the number of USAF tanker movements over the past few days - 30+ moved from USA to various EU bases and now they are ‘towing’ F15/16/35’s from those bases closer to Israel/Iran.
You don’t do that unless you are pretty sure they will be needed.
The correction doesn't say Gabbard wasn't invited to the meeting, or that she didn't take part remotely, or that they didn't meet separately. All of those things could have happened. Not saying your conclusion is wrong, just that you're making a leap that might not be justified.

Maybe Marco’s doing such a good job as Sec. of State and Nat Sec Advisor that he offered to sub in for the DNI job as well?
I wonder if it’s because Tulsi has always been anti war. That’s the platform she used to run on.
that theory relies on the notion that *anyone* in his circle is concerned about national security
A Kremlin agent at helm of national intelligence seems like a very bad idea, who would have thought?
We don’t know anything… tulsi may have been there via zoom or on phone… we know nothing.

Why wouldn’t they trust an Assad apologist and Putin shill who told them that Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program since 2003?
Nowhere there does it say she was "excluded." people make up their own news in their own heads. May she was, maybe she wasn't but all it says is that she did not attend.
Unfortunately, she's the least stupid one and not the only Russian asset. This isn't good.

This whole thing is contorted: an unqualified DNI, a president who rejects military & intelligence consult, a president wildly corrupt & susceptible to foreign influence, a denigrated DOD & IC leadership. It’s all toxic & dysfunctional.

If we attack Iran i wouldn't be surprised if Tulsi resigned in protest. I would be furious right now if I was her after what Trump said to the press. That he doesnt care what she says?

Zoom out, Jim. What does that tell us about a president that would put someone like that in such a sensitive position in the first place? It tell us he really doesn’t care about this country or about its citizens.
The left out one of the Russian assets. At least Trump was there to puppet his master Putin.
Wait... You're suggesting that Trumps circle is beginning to shit the bed? We've seen this movie before.

Tulsi Gabbard is a russian asset.
That fact is pretty obvious.
Less clear is why Trump appointed her as Director of National Intelligence, putting a wolf in the hen house.
"Maybe someone in the Trump inner circle doesn’t want to trust Gabbard"
