Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
In today’s #MustRead, @Ali_Wyne and @ryanl_hass argue that the answer to Trump’s erratic China policy isn’t more hawkishness, but steady competition, stronger alliances, and room for diplomacy. ⬇️

Donald Trump is bragging about Big Oil and Gas profiting off his Iran war because it's making HIM rich through stocks. But every other American family has paid over $850 more on average for gas since the start of this war.

I came into the Foreign Service under Ronald Reagan, served under every president, even a few months under Donald Trump. NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE, ever asked me who I voted for or doubted my "fidelity" to my country. They don't want professionals, they want political hacks.
SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24.
Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff.
State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇
