To make the Trump/Rubio massive and tragic purge at the Department of State more real, let me tell you about one of those fired, whom I know personally. He is a decorated public diplomacy officer with fluent Russian and a Stanford master's degree in technology policy. He served overseas

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold." The State Department is firing around
