The State Department's Substack

I recently discovered the State Department's Substack. I spent some time trying to see if the president or other interesting departments (DHS, USBP, ICE, DOL) were on the platform. As far as I can tell, none are. The State Department is a lone wolf howling into the Substack wind.

Now, the State Department doesn't post frequently. But there are posts to wade through. I learned a new word: civilizational.

Anyhoo, thought I'd bring to your attention written comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio from back in May. Some nuggets:

Secure borders, safe communities, and zero tolerance for criminal cartels are once again the guiding principles of our foreign policy.

We've deepened partnerships with Mexico, El Salvador, and others to intercept illegal migration at the source and break the back of foreign terrorist organizations like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. 

We are working with law enforcement to revoke the status of foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality, threaten our citizens, and express support for this nation's enemies.

Also this:

The era of indulging the Chinese Communist Party as it abuses trade practices to steal our technology and floods our nation with fentanyl is over.
