Marco Rubio Orders State Dept to Stop Using Calibri Font in Anti-DEI Push
Key Democrats have reversed their hold on an $18 billion fighter jet sale to Israel as Prime Minister Netanyahu lambasts Biden over a munitions hold.
U.S. President Joe Biden authorized the State Department to send another $350 million in weapons, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, to help Ukrainian forces fight back the ongoing Russian invasion.
Astronauts were forced to take cover on the International Space Station after a Russian anti-satellite test generated debris, according to the U.S. State Department.
(..)WASHINGTON — Russia destroyed one of its own satellites in an anti-satellite weapon test Nov. 15, according to the U.S. State Department, creating orbital debris that led astronauts on the International Space Station to take cover on several occasions.“Earlier today the Russian Federation recklessly conducted aa destructive satellite test of a direct ascent anti-satellite missile against one of its own satellites. The test has so far generated over 1,500 pieces of trackable orbital debris and hundreds of thousands of pieces of smaller orbital debris that now threaten the interests of all nations,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said during a Nov. 15 press briefing.

The IG firing shows the sordid truth behind the secretary of state's moralistic sneering.
The IG firing shows the sordid truth behind the secretary of state's moralistic sneering.
The ouster of the State Department’s inspector general, who had been investigating Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on at least two charges of misconduct, is yet another instance of how corruption—and the tolerance, almost the expectation, of corruption—pervades the upper tiers of the Trump administration.
Pompeo may, at first glance, seem an unlikely candidate to get tangled in this web. He was the top-ranked graduate of his class at West Point (whose code of honor commands cadets not to “lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do”) and a church deacon with a strong moralistic bent (at least rhetorically).
Yet the firing of the IG, Steven Linick, appears to be Pompeo’s personal cover-up. Yes, President Donald Trump signed the letter notifying Congress that he was dismissing Linick because he’d lost confidence in his work. But when a reporter asked for elaboration, Trump replied that he didn’t know the guy, had never heard of him—that he fired him because “I was asked by the State Department, by Mike.” Meanwhile, Pompeo said that Linick hadn’t lived up to the department’s ethos and claimed that he didn’t even know Linick was investigating him. But the New York Times revealed on Tuesday that Pompeo refused to be interviewed by Linick about one of the probes—indicating that he knew about the probe after all.
They’re defying his orders and testifying against Trump.
