Pompeo will replace Tillerson at the State Department, and Gina Hapsel — the deputy director at the CIA — will succeed him at the CIA, becoming the first woman to run the spy agency, if confirmed. https://t.co/KsGYdFi9Xg

So his Russia intervention came after he was fired. Telling the truth on the way out of the door. https://t.co/O2s3oNz7OS

Rex Tillerson may have overseen the gutting of the State Department and contributed to the destruction of American global influence, but at least he called Donald Trump a fucking moron that one time and Trump responded by offering to take matching IQ tests

Rex Tillerson is out as Secretary of State. Few thought he would last long in the role. Revisit Dexter Filkins on how Tillerson confronted an unstable world and an unstable President: https://t.co/jEmpK3Zw6x pic.twitter.com/0SIHGJPqCg

Tillerson was, at best, a stock character from a "Dallas" script rejected for being too implausible.
At worst, he was an abetter of treason who purposefully gutted the State Dept and endangered the US.

Interesting that Tillerson's ouster came one day after he very publicly broke with the official WH line and said the poisoning of Sergei Skripal “clearly” came from Russia. https://t.co/KfPy9b2iO6

Pompeo will need to be confirmed by the Senate.

Tillerson loathed by State Dept diplomats, but balanced & sensible in most areas of foreign policy.
Pompeo dramatically more hawkish on N Korea and Iran. Challenging day for the planet.

Just a reminder, no matter what happens in PA-18 today, this election’s only happening because an anti-abortion “family values” republican was caught trying to get the woman he had an affair with to have an abortion.

DISGRACE: Devin Nunes & House Republicans decided to protect both Trump & Putin at all costs instead of defending our nation. A new conspiracy for Mueller to investigate. https://t.co/PtWZiOMCBa
