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

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.

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
He defended Hezbollah’s rocket fire into Israel, which has increased steadily since Oct. 8, saying it represented the bare “minimum” in response to Israel’s campaign in Gaza. 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
