While Trump’s second term has been defined by gross overreach, incompetence, and chaos, the State Department has largely gone about its business without drawing controversy.
But that’s the problem—Rubio’s work this year should be controversial. trib.al/MymoIHS

Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger.
Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be.

At one point I couldn’t fathom how WW3 could happen. We had such a strong military and really strong allies. It seemed that, together, we could take on anyone. I never in a million years would have thought the USA would align with Russia and China, or that we would become the enemy of our friends.

Whatever one thinks of the attack on Venezuela, you have to admire the skill and strategic precision of the military forces that stormed Madura's fortress and so effectively removed the Epstein Files from the headlines.
