I’m grateful to @USAmbUN, @SecBlinken, and my colleagues across the Administration for the opportunity to help promote America’s interests and values in the UN and broader multilateral system together with our allies and partners. politico.com/news/2024/02/1…
I wrote about @DNIGabbard's dangerous deception for @FoxNews. I thought it was important to take facts straight to the lion’s den, and I appreciate that they let me have my say. foxnews.com/opinion/americ…
Fox News Publishes Op-Ed Warning Tulsi Gabbard’s Obama Accusations Are a Dangerous ‘Effort to Rewrite History’ mediaite.com/media/news/fox…
Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.
Interesting coda: @DNIGabbard's team seems to have purged from the DNI website the Trump administration's statement in August 2020 that Russia was seeking to denigrate Biden and that some "Kremlin-linked actors" were boosting Trump in the 2020 race. Presumably they didn't want a…
Despite regular reports of Israeli forces killing scores of Palestinian civilians, the "madman" perception emerged only when Bibi resumed bombing Syria. Even if Bibi's losing favor in the WH, he's, tragically, been too successful in his efforts to dehumanize the Palestinians.

The Epstein saga is the first time nearly everyone has seen Trump for what he is: a snake oil salesman. We should be exposing the same dynamic in every other arena — from his self-enriching spending plan to his self-enriching foreign policy to his self-enriching domestic agenda.
America, at its best, has been a champion of the rule of law around the world. It's not just that we're no longer defending it; this administration is using all the tools at its disposal -- from the threat of tariffs on Brazil to leveraging the diplomatic relationship with Israel…
President Trump couldn’t understand the utility of or stakes around arming Ukraine until he felt personally wronged by Putin. It’s a problem when decisions that are manifestly in America’s interest are deferred until/unless the President feels aggrieved. axios.com/2025/07/14/tru…
For all the talk about “merit-based,” they’re firing officers based on where they happen to be assigned on this arbitrary day. It’s the laziest, most inefficient, and most damaging way to lean the workforce.
JUST IN: The State Department is sending formal layoff notices to more than 1,300 employees, according to internal department communication reviewed by ABC News. abcnews.visitlink.me/lRcFXf
The Deputy Director of the FBI didn't show up to work today after a dispute with his boss regarding the Epstein files. If only this team would put half as much energy into what should truly keep them up at night.... axios.com/2025/07/11/eps…
Trump and Rubio say this is about reducing "bloat," but they're taking aim at the offices promoting values central to America's role in the world: human rights, democracy, transparency, justice, the rule of law. They're seeking to eviscerate what has made us exceptional,…
To push for only a "temporary" ceasefire amidst Gaza's humanitarian wasteland, the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians, the suffering of the hostage families, and the war's toll on Israeli society is a strategic and moral abomination. Good on the WH if they actually intend…
The dismantling of institutions, sidelining of experts, and rejection of inter-agency process has real costs for the American people, while providing opportunities for our adversaries. In this case, Americans remain wrongly imprisoned in Venezuela because the Trump administration…
President Trump confirmed his commitment to NATO's Article 5 pledge. @peterbakernyt, @nedprice and Retired Col. Jack Jacobs join @ChrisJansing to weigh in on this and more. msnbc.com/chris-jansing-…
Bombing a country and killing civilians to set back a nuclear program a few months when diplomacy can accomplish a lot more is not showing strength. There's something sick about the politics of US national security that so many people think it is.
Those who want to give President Trump high marks for preventing WWIII and containing the crisis he helped to precipitate on Saturday should feel free. But the real question was whether Trump could contain the crisis he set in motion in 2018 when he let Iran's nuclear program out…
