Well, there may be a few Trumpian upstarts pretending to run the State Department (and I hope they succeed). And maybe they have even gotten rid of a few leftist-globalist-warmonger 0bama-Biden elitists that have been there for years....
.... But who REALLY still runs the State Department is ‘The Deep State’ career embeds who are going to continue to sabotage the current but temporary Trump political appointees. .
The idea that the State Department is non-political is laughable. Having known many people in the State Dept for the last 30 years, all I can say is that Keith Laumer’s “Retief” series was absolutely spot-on. I am starting to think that only sociopaths can exist in that environment.
Amazing how Leftists like Politico hate it and want to make people think something nefarious is going on when Republicans do the same thing democrats do and listen to Conservatives and real Republicans rather than the media and democrats and Leftists.
... there’s someone else needs taking care of in Washington. Rose Tucci.
I certainly do not miss it. I was there for Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Lurch, Hillary.... I reported her clinton email server the first week she was there and my life became a dangerous living hell where both my wife were assaulted and stalked, threatened and abused.
Foggy Bottom has long been Red and down for The Revolution.
“it could politicize a foreign service that is supposed to be nonpartisan and undermine policymaking by promoting MAGA-infused ideology over facts”

They warned me that it could politicize a foreign servicePoor dear must have lost her job at the Atlantic Council when DOGE turned off the spigot.
Lies so big that one dare not doubt them. They hope.
Yep, Hillary ran the State Dept from ‘93 to 2024
Only Trump was strong enough to clean house.
GWB was too busy attacking Iraq to pay attention.
Having researched a zillion issues over the years I can't count the times it was clear the State either worked with CIA or visa versa. Both departments have been as corrupt as govt. departments can get.
Let's hope under Trump we will see major changes. Many of the criminals in both departments are known. It's just a matter of the right person telling the truth about the wrong person.
Diversity, equity and inclusion practices are not typical. DEI presented as Anti-White is an abomination.
The State Dept was about 100% Leftist a few months ago. That probably has not changed much. I had hopes for a Twitter-style 80% staff reduction or greater.
