  11. Don't get arrested abroad. Unless you are an oligarch or a celebrity. Sadly, this makes me non-essential. Time to go work for an international NGO. Trump plans biggest restructuring of US foreign policy branch since 1789, shows leaked executive order Donald Trump is planning to close almost all of its Africa operations and shut down embassies across the continent, according to a draft executive, which is set to be signed this week. The leaked order outlines drastic changes to the State Department, which, if implemented, would be one of the biggest rounds of restructuring since its founding in 1789. It plans to eliminate offices which work on climate change, humanitarian support for refugees, democracy and human rights policy, along with a sharp cut to diplomatic operations in Canada. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/04/20/state-department-shut-embassies-close-africa-donald-trump/
  12. Maybe that is his thing. We don't shame here. We laugh and point, but never shame.
  13. Pentagon looks like a mess. Who would have thunk it. My cuts. Full article is linked. Joe Kasper, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff will leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official, amid a week of turmoil for the Pentagon. Kasper had requested an investigation into Pentagon leaks in March, which included military operational plans for the Panama Canal, a second carrier headed to the Red Sea, Musk’s visit and a pause in the collection of intelligence for Ukraine. The changes will leave Hegseth without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser in his front office. “There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary’s leadership,” said a senior defense official. “Pete Hegseth has surrounded himself with some people who don’t have his interests at heart.” This week’s terminations follow a purge of top military officers in February, including former Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti. “There probably will be more chaos,” said a third defense official. “It certainly reinforces the fear factor, awareness that no one’s job is safe.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/18/defense-secretary-chief-of-staff-joe-kasper-departure-00299508

  16. Yes. Saw this article and thought it was interesting. Peter Marocco, the Trump administration official in charge of dismantling USAID, left a meeting at the White House last week to return to his office at the State Department. But when he arrived, Marocco could not enter the building: security told him he was no longer an employee there, according to a person familiar with the situation. Word of Marocco’s firing quickly tore through the Republican Party and MAGA ecosystem, startling President Donald Trump’s loyalists who viewed the aide as part of an elite cohort of administration true believers. Loud voices on the right piled on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, accusing him of undermining their disruptive agenda. Yet Marocco’s abrupt termination, which has not been fully reported until now, was not an impulsive dismissal or a case of Rubio going rogue. This report was based on conversations with five people, including administration officials and allies, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters. Four of the people said Rubio fired Marocco. They gave varying explanations: one administration official said Rubio and others wanted Marocco out due to what they saw as his bulldozer operating style and failure to work effectively with colleagues; others pointed to substantive disagreements between Rubio and Marocco over how to dismantle USAID. Meanwhile, Marocco allies viewed Rubio and his team as insular, controlling and obstructionist to the DOGE agenda ordered by the president. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/18/marco-rubio-peter-marocco-usaid-firing-00297812 Watch him and a few others closely.
