Question for @StateDept: When is conducting the ceremonial coin toss at a nationally televised college football game – particularly one between two taxpayer-funded service academies – a "private event" for a member of the Cabinet?
Answer: Never.— Matt Lee (@APDiploWriter) December 9, 2017
Wait, if they're calling this a "private event" what other events not televised have been similarly designated as "private"? A great question for the new @StateDept PD/PA boss @UnderSecPD. https://t.co/UWhLflN18D

AND NOW THIS – WITH JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR ….
And when Ambassadors are appointed/confirmed they will add to the diplomacy already underway. https://t.co/6DPlIkbA9f

Tillerson has visited 3 US tri-missions on this trip (Brussels, Vienna, now Paris). That means missions housing 9 ambassadorships total. Of the 9, only one ambassador is in place.
