Dear @thejointstaff: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes. Striking civilian infrastructure that causes disproportionate civilian harm constitutes war crimes. You will disobey those illegal orders. If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.
WATCH: I asked Trump whether any civilian targets are off limits in Iran. He responded with his strongest threats yet. Trump told me "very little is off limit" and said he has a military plan where "every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again" if his deadline is not met. @politico

The President doesn't get credit for being "privately enraged" when he still refuses to use leverage to stop the IDF from killing and starving innocent people. These stories only make him look weak. politico.com/news/2024/04/03…

This statement is the best example of American leadership thus far: clear, fair, unequivocal, strongly standing for the human rights of all.

It’s truly difficult to think of another recent episode in which mainstream news outlets so blatantly lied and misled readers. You can draw your own conclusions as to why Dina, Ali Vaez, and others were considered fair game for this clumsy smear job.
I’m dismayed and disappointed by the mischaracterisations, falsehoods and character assassination campaign targeting me and colleagues. I’m also dismayed that subsequent outlets chose to run the story without seeking our views or ignoring them. Here are a few facts - 🧵:

Thank you, @amydahm, for your strength in speaking up about this. Amy is 1000% right. A history of sexual harassment is disqualifying, full stop — and should be considered as such in the ambassador nom process. I hope the @WhiteHouse and Senate take note + adjust accordingly.
Here is my opinion piece calling for sexual harassment to disqualify ambassadorial nominees. Mark Libby, ambassadorial nominee to Azerbaijan, sexually harassed me when I was his subordinate at the U.S. State Department. medium.com/@amydahm_14529/2f…

“Leadership is lonely. When you’re trying to build something from the ground up, it’s hard when you don’t have any peers. In those moments, building community with other leaders offered an outlet for collaboration.” -@sherryhakimi on the importance of network building

Executives have been boasting about the unprecedented “constructive pricing environment” and “strong pricing power” on earnings calls since Q1 of 2022. It’s not inflation. It’s plain old corporate greed.
General Mills—maker of Cheerios, Yoplait, Nature Valley, etc—said today that they're making huge profits by raising prices on consumers. Their quarterly profits have increased 20% year-over-year. All the growth came from price hikes. Corporate profits are driving inflation.

…this coming from a Republican member of Congress from South Carolina. Delete its last 3 words and you’ve actually got a proper take.
It is deeply disturbing to me as a woman and as a victim of rape that some in my home state want to give rapists more rights than women who’ve been raped. And I don’t know why I have to say this, but it isn’t pro life to execute a woman who seeks an abortion after being raped.

This is an enormous risk on Siamak’s part, and it just goes to show just how dire and unbearable his situation has become. @potus, please hear this.
In an unprecedented move, US citizen Siamak Namazi speaks out from inside Evin Prison to plead for his release, along with two other Americans. Namazi has been imprisoned in Iran for over 7 years and asks “President Biden to finally… hear our cry.” “This is a desperate measure”

Congratulations to Michael Froman. I also think it’s worth noting that, if all was fair and equal, the probability of having 15-of-15 CFR presidents be male is .00003052. In other words, a .00305% chance.
Today, CFR is pleased to announce that Michael Froman—a respected leader across government, business, and the nonprofit sector—will become the organization’s 15th president.
