It’s been quite the journey. Thank you, Mr. President.
This is literally superpower suicide. These are some of the most talented public servants doing critical work. Champagne corks are popping in Beijing and Moscow after they already emptied the wine cellars celebrating the end of USAID.
HAPPENING NOW!! Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ tonight, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleague, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻
The U.S. rejoined UNESCO in 2023 specifically to counter China’s growing influence in setting global standards for Al and tech education. By leaving again, we are voluntarily giving up our seat at the table and letting our primary strategic rival write the rules of the 21st…
Breaking News: The U.S. said it would again withdraw from UNESCO, the latest move by President Trump to cut ties with international organizations. nyti.ms/4maUZlS
Nope, still not distracted. Release the Epstein files.
It’s a full-court press by the GOP to distract from the Epstein story. Really makes you wonder what’s in those files. newsweek.com/pam-bondi-jeff…
The food we eat, the air we breathe, the healthcare we receive, and the rights we are guaranteed by our constitution are all less safe because Donald Trump is President.
A waste of food. A waste of lives. A waste of American resources and power. We must find a way to buy and distribute this food on behalf of the American people…I will pay for it personally. @realdonaldtrump @marcorubio what happened to your Christian faith? "For I was hungry…
The purge at the State Department means fewer people investigating passport fraud, fewer experts to help Americans in crises abroad, and fewer intelligence analysts to stop the next attack. Hollowing out our diplomatic readiness makes us all less safe. cnn.com/2025/07/17/pol…
It seems pretty unlikely that the conspiracy theorists who claim that a satanic cabal of elites led by Hillary Clinton operated an international child sex trafficking ring out of a DC pizza shop are just going to let the Epstein story fade away.
FACT: States with the most comprehensive gun safety laws have lower gun death rates. Basic gun safety saves lives.
Had the privilege of seeing @elviscostello last night. 40 years after performing at Live Aid and he’s still at the top of his game.
There is no bottom to this barrel. washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…
I strongly condemn today’s personnel actions taken at the State Department. This is cruel and unacceptable treatment for American diplomats who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation and promoting our values. Mark my words, the adverse impact on our national security…
BREAKING: The State Department is firing over 1,300 employees under a Trump administration plan, official says. apnews.com/article/layoff…
Hollowing out our diplomatic corps-our first line of defense-is not ‘America First.' It is America in retreat, leaving a vacuum for our adversaries to fill. This makes us less safe. Full stop. nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
Secretary/National Security Advisor Rubio should remember what Jim Mattis said when he was in charge of Central Command: "If you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition."
The axe is falling at State as soon as Friday, @ShelbyTalcott reports: semafor.com/article/07/10/…
As a former US Delegate to the UN, I saw firsthand how American leadership shapes the world. Now, as we fire our diplomats and slash our diplomatic presence, I see who is celebrating: Beijing and Moscow. Trump's policy is a gift to our strategic rivals. nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/…
