U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced plans to reorganize what he called a "bloated” State Department, vowing to cut programs and close offices including those responsible for women’s issues and diversity. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/23/world/politics/rubio-state-department-overhaul/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #statedepartment #donaldtrump #marcorubio
US Secretary of State Marco #Rubio unveiled a restructuring of the US #StateDepartment on Tuesday, saying the "bloated" organisation was ideologically out of sync with the Trump administration. The revamp eliminates an office on war crimes and the role of special #climate envoy, which was a senior position under former president Joe Biden.

The Pentagon is a mess right now, with infighting, firings, trust issues, fear, coercion, and incompetence. I bet we also have lapses in intelligence collecting.
It would seem to be a great time for an adversary to infiltrate the US. Or unleash a cyberattack on utilities.
The Trump team would be paralyzed. And they wouldn't see it coming.

Analysis: "The State Department Relied on Columbia University’s Mischaracterization of Protests to Arrest Mohsen Mahdawi"
"Columbia University refused to retract its statement calling pro-Palestine protests 'intimidation.'
"Now, the Trump administration is using it against Mohsen Mahdawi."
At the protest in question, Mahdawi had in fact confronted a man who was shouting antisemitic insults.

"A draft Trump administration executive order circulating among US diplomats proposes a radical restructuring of the US state department, including drastic reductions to sub-Saharan operations, envoys and bureaus relating to climate, refugees, human rights, democracy and gender equality.
The changes, if enacted, would be one of the biggest reorganizations of the department since its founding in 1789"

The US #StateDepartment "will no longer call governments out for such things as denying freedom of movement and peaceful assembly…retaining political prisoners without due process or restrictions on 'free and fair elections.' Forcibly returning a refugee or asylum-seeker to a home country where they may face torture or persecution will no longer be highlighted, nor will serious harassment of human rights organizations."
