Some thoughts on the strikes against Iran’s nuclear program: nytimes.com/2025/06/24/opi…

The sweeping arrests of pro-democracy demonstrators are an assault on those bravely advocating for universal rights. The Biden-Harris administration will stand with the people of Hong Kong and against Beijing’s crackdown on democracy. cnn.com/2021/01/05/asi…

Thinking today of the men and women of the State Department — Foreign Service and Civil Service. Their dedication to serving the national interest and the American people is second to none. It was the privilege of a lifetime to work by their side.

Great to be in Salt Lake City for the Crossroads of the World Summit with my friend Amb./Sen. Jeff Flake. Thanks to Gov. Spencer Cox & First Lady Abby Cox for the warm Utah welcome. deseret.com/politics/2025/…

Joe Nye: a life wonderfully lived. Few contributed as much to our intellectual capital, our understanding of the world and America’s place in it. A friend and mentor to so many including me.

Inspired by the life and service of Ruth Davis - a State Department trailblazer for 40 years who passed today. First African American woman to head the Foreign Service. A mentor and role model for generations of our diplomats.

Enjoyed talking to Tim on @BulwarkOnline today and his determined efforts to break down my diplo-speak. Next time, Tim…

I was blessed to spend time with Pope Francis. His humanity was matched by his humility. He always asked visitors to pray for him as he prayed for us. He is in our collective prayers today.

Rich Armitage inspired deep affection and admiration from many including me. He always had the backs of the men and women in his charge — in the Navy, DOD and State. An extraordinary life of service.

Grateful to Amb. Bridget Brink for three remarkable years leading our embassy in Ukraine. Her courage and commitment to Ukraine’s freedom show our foreign and civil service at their best — as does our incredible team at Embassy Kyiv. My enduring gratitude to her and them.

Great to join @andrewrsorkin on @SquawkCNBC this week to talk about the economy and the dangers of an "America Alone" approach.

For any JJ Cale fans out there: John Moreland. So good. Tulsa Time! open.spotify.com/track/3D7kWYTr…

If you’d like to follow our work at the State Department here’s how: @SecBlinken.

On this #MLKDay2021 and #DayOfService, Dr. King, his enduring wisdom, and the work that remains to fulfill his vision are top of mind.  “Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”

We are building a team that looks like America, led by extraordinary public servants. It would be the honor of my life to work with these leaders -- and all of the Department's women and men -- to reinvigorate the power of America’s example. apnews.com/article/joe-bi…

On the 11th anniversary of the devastating earthquake, we mark the strength of the Haitian people and the deep friendship between Haiti and the United States. We will always support democracy, human rights, and the security and prosperity of Haiti.

Sometimes my muppet friends are the best reminders of our common humanity. nytimes.com/2020/12/19/wor…

Thanks for a great exchange. We need a foreign policy workforce that looks like the country it represents. America’s diversity is a singular source of strength.
