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

Extremely rare leak of a phone call transcript between Putin's senior foreign policy-adviser and Steve Witkoff via Bloomberg. Witkoff advises Putin's aid on how to pitch Trump on backing a Gaza-style peace plan for Ukraine Image
The purpose of the Steve Witkoff effort seems to be to get Trump to provide Witkoff maximum room to negotiate. As if ... Trump won't give that to him unless Putin tees it up and references the promise of Witkoff's work Image
Also notable that Bloomberg reviewed a second call involving Putin aide Ushakov, this time instead of speaking to Witkoff, Ushakov talks to Putin adviser Kirill Dmitriev. Interestingly, they are also concerned about the peace plan being viewed as the Russian position Image

SCOOP: A classified US report has found that Israeli military units committed “many hundreds” of potential violations human rights violations in Gaza that will take “multiple years” to review

-The findings mark the first time a US government report has acknowledged the scale of Israeli actions in Gaza that fall under the purview of Leahy Laws, which bar funding to units credibly accused of such abuses

-U.S. officials said the watchdog findings raised doubts about the prospects for accountability for Israel’s actions given the large backlog of incidents and the nature of the review process, which is deferential to the Israel Defense ForcesImage
The State Department's office of the inspector general declined to comment for this article but has acknowledged the report’s existence on its website. “This report contains information that is Classified and is not available for public viewing,” the webpage says. Image
High profile incidents in Gaza pending a determination are numerous, including the killing of seven @WCKitchen workers by Israel in April 2024 and the killing of more than 100 Palestinians and wounding of 760 others gathered around aid trucks near Gaza City in February 2024

NEW: State Department fires top press officer for Israeli-Palestinian affairs after internal disputes over Israel policy, including whether to express condolences about journalists killed by Israel in Gaza and publicly oppose forced displacement of Palestinians, per documents 🧵 Image
Last week, there was an internal debate about releasing lines to the news media saying, “We do not support forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.” It was prompted by questions about Israel-S. Sudan talks on transferring Palestinians. Leadership sided against doing so Image
Another dispute occurred earlier this month following Israel’s targeted killing of Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and several other journalists in Gaza City. The department sided against expressing condolences Image

SCOOP: The United States obtained intercepted communication between senior Iranian officials discussing this month’s military strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and remarking that the attack was less devastating than they had expected, per four soures
The communication, intended to be private, included Iranian government officials speculating as to why the strikes directed by Trump were not as destructive and extensive as they anticipated, per sources
The Trump administration did not dispute the existence of the intercepted communications, which have not been previously reported, but strenuously disagreed with the Iranians’ conclusions and cast doubt on their ability to assess the damage at the three nuclear facilities targeted in the U.S. operationImage

NEW: The National Intelligence Council determined in a secret assessment early this month that Venezuela is not directing an invasion of the United States by the prison gang Tren de Aragua, a judgment that contradicts Trump’s public statements
The determination is the U.S. government’s most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting Trump’s rationale for deporting suspected gang members without due process under the Alien Enemies Act
The intelligence product found that although there are some low-level contacts between the Maduro regime and Tren de Aragua, the gang does not operate at the direction of Venezuela. The product builds on U.S. intelligence findings in February, first reported by NYT
