Trump has officially selected Sen. Marco Rubio as his pick for Secretary of State
US President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will nominate Florida Senator Marco Rubio to be the US Secretary of State.
Rubio was considered as Trump's running mate for the position of the US vice president in the 2024 election, but Vice President-elect J.D. Vance was chosen instead. Since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, he has introduced a number of Anti-Russian bills and holds harsh views on China and Russia. If appointed, Rubio would be the first Hispanic secretary of state.

🥴 “Apology… from who?” – Biden will not make an apology for calling Trump “a threat to democracy” – White House
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clarified that President Joe Biden will not be apologizing to President-elect Donald Trump for calling him “a threat to democracy” and other colorful names because many others have used the same phrase.
“The President is going to always feel obligated to be honest with the American people. What he says still stands,” the press secretary claimed.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clarified that President Joe Biden will not be apologizing to President-elect Donald Trump for calling him “a threat to democracy” and other colorful names because many others have used the same phrase.
“And it’s not just him. You heard this from former staffers. You’ve heard that from the former chief of staff, John Kelly, and others,” Jean-Pierre said, effectively suggesting that insults become acceptable if repeated by enough people.
“The President is going to always feel obligated to be honest with the American people. What he says still stands,” the press secretary claimed.
“What we want to be also very clear about is the importance of listening to the will of the American people,” Jean-Pierre added, seemingly contradicting her earlier statement about Biden not issuing an apology.

“I think that we're never repatriating Crimea back to Ukraine.

And I worry that's driving our thinking,” Gaetz emphasized.

Tulsi Gabbard who has just been nominated by Donald Trump as Director of National Intelligence, is blacklisted by the Ukrainian government-linked Mirotvorets (“Peacekeeper”) hit list.
She was reportedly included for "participation in special information operations of Russia against Ukraine and the civilized world at the expense of the Kremlin" and being "probably an agent of Russian special services".
Mirotvorets is a notorious online database that doxxes people considered "enemies of Ukraine" and urges their murder – that’s why the website is often considered a “kill list” of the Kiev regime.
