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

🚨The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to Zelensky’s remarks in the Oval Office on Friday and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, per senior administration official
The decision, if taken, would apply to billions of dollars of radars, vehicles, ammunition and missiles awaiting shipment to Ukraine through the presidential drawdown authority, said the official.
The consideration of withholding arms for Ukraine as it fends off a full-scale invasion from Russia underscores the dramatic plunge in relations between the erstwhile allies following the contentious Oval Office exchange between Zelensky, Trump and Vance.

State Dept official: "We intend to veto any amendments added to the resolution and we have expressed that to partners … the intent is to keep the resolution noise-free, thin and to the basics of what the president wants us to do"
The divide between the United States and Europe marks "the biggest split among Western powers at the UN since the Iraq War -- and probably even more fundamental" says @RichardGowan1

NEW: Scores of senior career diplomats are resigning from the State Dept effective at noon on Monday after receiving instructions to do so from Trump’s aides.
The forced departures, the prerogative of an incoming admin, indicate a desire to quickly break with the Biden era
Those told to tender resignations include decorated veterans of the Foreign Service, including Under secretary John Bass and Assistant Secretary Geoff Pyatt.
Some incoming presidents choose to keep a larger stable of career diplomats until political appointees get confirmed. Instead, Trump has authorized the selection of more than 20 “senior bureau officials,” to take over various divisions where leadership posts are being vacated this week.

Scoop: The Biden administration has decided to maintain the terrorist designation on Syria’s new Islamist rulers for the remainder of Biden’s tenure, leaving a critical decision about HTS and its leader to the incoming Trump administration, per officials
The terrorist designation for HTS is a key obstacle to Syria’s long-term economic viability, but U.S. officials said the Islamist militants must demonstrate they’ve made a clean break with jihadist groups, in particular al-Qaeda, before the label can be lifted. Image
U.S. officials said the steps HTS must take to come off the list will take time and that the administration should not force the U.S. political calendar on the Syrian government and the Syrian people.
