FWIW: I asked the State Dept and the White House about this. No response.

Please consider adding your voice to Bluesky. I shared this over there.
This happened near the end of Trump 1.0 too, and the press never noticed.
the old soviet navy used to do this... all their ships had a 'political' officer on board who could override the command officers if they were moving in a direction not in compliance with soviet police
He’s called a Political Commissar and, in Russian practice, he’s the boss, not the guy with his name on the door.

In 2025, 23 states and 65 cities and counties will raise their minimum wage. Uniform wage laws destroy jobs, raise prices, and make automation more attractive…

This actually makes me feel better. Rubio is a very recent convert from the Deep State. The only appointment I was seriously upset with.
You post things like this with absolutely NO insider information whatsoever.
Unsurprising if you know why Rubio was nominated for that position, it wasn't because Trump chose him.
Name the employee. No more anonymously sourced claims.
Also, for someone supposedly not "within the fold", he's been pretty effective thus far.

Any intellectual curiosity about who was running the country for the past four years Jennifer?

Keep dreaming. The Cuban American knows what he's doing.
Look up El Salvador prisons. Watch how many self deport.
Does anyone actually believe these media reporters when they post these little tidbits that sound like they come from a gossipy 14 yr old?
Or is it just me?

The left still thinks this kind of commentary has some sort of influence. —> Echo chamber
Trump appointed Rubio to open his Senate seat. The seat now has a MAGA loyalist. Trump will have no problem firing Rubio.
"A seasoned State Dept employee" ya say!
No more objective source has ever trod God's green earth, I'm sure.
Note to self: Do not believe anything a human being says, if said human being looks, dresses, is, or acts like, Jennifer Bendery.

Who is the minder? Seems like if this was true they would be outed. Do you only post rumors?
Well I dont know about you guys, but I’m completely convinced by this unverified anonymous quote by a trusted journalist for the… what? Huffpost? … ahahahahahahahahaha I take it all back.
Atlas: “I was sitting across from Anthony Fauci in August of 2020, and he looked at me and said, ‘One of the biggest problems is the American public is not afraid enough.’ This was the task force… it’s a completely unethical way to do public health.”
You are spreading crap again. But what else is new
Joe Biden literally had handlers that would pull him off stage, tell te media when Joe was done answering questions, help him to not get lost.

If they’re not working on the seventh floor, they don’t matter.
Then you better tell your "source" they need to get with the program and help 'ol Marco get comfy cause if he gets bounced like Tillerson did, they will not like the replacement. Rubio is as good as it gets for the bureaucrats.
Anonymous claims again. Didn’t happen unless their name is published & are willing to stand behind their comments. BTW…quit being a dishonest hack.
Huffpo. Of course. Of all the things that are true Im sure this is the most true of all of them.
#1, that isn’t an answer to the question you supposedly asked, and #2 if it’s another anonymous source then I don’t believe them.
The State Dept is probably one of the most putrid Departments in DC. Same faces, same failures, same lack of interest in exploring new ideas- the entire place needs a review from top to bottom & hopefully relieve weak links of duties.
More likely projection. Like what Democrats actually did. Numerous minders, including the Easter Bunny, that towed Xiden around for eight long years. Seemed like eight.
"I don't like Rubio's politics so I asked a State Dept employee who also doesn't like Rubio's politics to say something bad about Rubio -- here's what he said..."
Weird bc he’s publicly disagreed with Trump and stated he isn’t here for his own opinions he’s here bc of what the American people voted they wanted and the promises Trump made. But no one believes these “seasoned staffers”.

What a Joke you are.
How could you possibly know that ?
I heard the leftist globalist hate him and they will all be fired shorty .
