"Everyone was calling everyone. I was honored to call one of the family members of the 9/11 victims; I called the House Homeland Security Committee and [Secretary of Homeland Security] Janet Napolitano. While I was in the Situation Room, I overheard one of the White House operations, saying [on the phone], 'Oh, I'm so sorry -- I didn't know you didn't work for President Clinton anymore. Do you know where I can reach him?' President Obama was calling his predecessors, George W. Bush and President Clinton. The operator is trying to find President Clinton. I looked at him and I said, 'Hold on one minute.' And I stepped back into the main room, [Secretary of State] Hillary [Clinton] was there, and I said, 'Madam Secretary, I'm really sorry to bother you, but do you have your husband's phone number?'

-- Mike Leiter, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, on the immediate aftermath of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011. President Obama was trying to get in touch with his immediate predecessors to notify them about the successful special forces operation and bin Laden's death, but there was some trouble finding contact information for former President Bill Clinton until Leiter realized he could simply ask Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the former President's phone number.

The state has put targets on the backs of left-wing independent media outlets it identifies as subversive. African Stream has been accused of being a Russian puppet in an age-old pattern of using Red Scare-style propaganda to manufacture consent for the continued crackdown on journalism and freedom of speech.

Thoughts on Marco Rubio as secretary of state?

I can at least say that, of all the people who Donald Trump could pick to be Secretary of State, Marco Rubio isn't the worst.

I'm more surprised that JD Vance wouldn't use his influence in the transition to work to sideline Rubio because, in my opinion, Rubio seems like the biggest threat to Vance as a potential successor to Trump in 2028.

Nick Visser at HuffPost:

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to name Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as his secretary of state, The New York Times and Reuters reported Monday night. The Times, citing people familiar with Trump’s plans, said his decision could still change but appears to have firmed up after he considered naming Rubio his running mate before settling on Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio). Rubio was a fierce and loyal backer of Trump during the 2024 campaign. If confirmed, he will be the first Latino to serve in the role. Rubio would enter the Trump administration with a full plate as the U.S. continues to deal with crises in Ukraine and Israel. The senator told NBC in September that the only way Russia’s war with Ukraine will end would be a “negotiated settlement.” And he voted against military aid package to help the besieged nation in April, Reuters noted.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) is set to tapped as the Secretary of State for Don The Con’s 2nd term.

This will result in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) making an appointment to fill the seat until a 2026 midterm special election to serve the remainder of Rubio’s term.
