The local media coverage of Pompeo's trip to Kansas isn't getting any friendlier.

Kansas City Star: "Mike Pompeo, either quit and run for U.S. Senate in Kansas or focus on your day job ... "[He's] hanging out here every chance he gets." ...kansascity.com/opinion/editor…
#ShotsFired "Kansans are interested in the world beyond the Great Plains. And would frown on even a fellow Kansan using his government office to fund what looks increasingly like campaign travel."
He did come bearing #swagger buttons though

Iran's President met with reporters in New York for an off record Q&A today that evolved into a rare on-record discussion after negotiations with the journalists ended in the journalists' favor 🧵
When asked about the hostilities in Lebanon, President Pezeshkian said Iran will continue to back Hezbollah so long as Israel is being armed by the United States. Image

There's a striking contrast between the Israeli and U.S. response to the killing of the hostages. Israeli press contains significant condemnations of Netanyahu for not taking the hostage deal when it could've saved their lives 🧵: Image
Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is being held hostage in Gaza, directly criticized Netanyahu, saying: Netanyahu has "decided to bury them in the rubble of his politics ...His hands are covered in the blood of the hostages who are being murdered in captivity.”
The hostage deal is a U.S. proposal but the Biden administration has tried to avoid criticizing Netanyahu for holding up the deal. Biden's statement says "Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes," while reaffirming support for a deal. Image

NEW: The Israeli unit dogged by accusations of abuses toward Palestinians and found by the State Department to have committed gross violations of human rights will not face restrictions of U.S. funding. Blinken decided the violations have been "effectively remediated" Image
In 2022, a commander of the unit, Netzah Yehuda, was reprimanded and the platoon commander and company commander removed from their positions following the death of Omar Assad, a 78-year-old Palestinian American man who had been detained at a West Bank checkpoint Image
State Department officials had long said the only way the unit could escape aid restrictions is if real accountability occurred for what was done. This is what State is now saying accounts for real accountability: Image

SCOOP: Leaked document shows J.D. Vance’s effort to rid ‘wokeness’ from U.S. foreign policy

The Ohio senator froze dozens of ambassador nominations over issues like gender transition care and diversity hiring in a “anti-woke” questionnaire obtained by The Post. Image
The questionnaire asked would-be ambassadors if they would increase the number of “gender-neutral bathrooms” in U.S. embassies, boost resources for “gender dysphoria and gender transition care” and raise the “Progress flag” during “regional Pride celebrations" Image
For many conservatives, Vance’s oversight was a welcome response to concerns that the U.S. has elevated left-leaning social values at the expense of American interests and alienating partners in more conservative regions of Africa, Latin America or Asia, says @WadeMiller_USMC Image

Breaking: Jake Sullivan traveled in secret to Kyiv in a trip aimed at reaffirming U.S. support for the beleaguered ally despite an impasse in Congress over U.S. funding. “We are confident we will get this done, we will get this aid to Ukraine," Sullivan said
Sullivan arrived in Kyiv as the country’s forces are on their back foot having retreated from the eastern city of Avdiivka and facing Russian advances across the front lines. “You should believe in the United States,” Sullivan said
A faction of Republicans in Congress have held up additional funding for Ukraine, faulting the administration for failing to spell out a vision for victory and saying the tens of billions spent already have only achieved a stalemate.
