Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who skirted the law, lied to Congress, and cooked the books on human rights reporting to keep arming the military carrying out the Gaza genocide, is now on the board of directors of the influential Democratic think tank Center for American Progress.

Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser and kingpin of his Middle East policy, who also fought to keep arming Israel and lied repeatedly that we were “close” to a ceasefire his administration had no intention of achieving, is back on the board of National Security Action, a group he cofounded that seeks to guide Democrats’ foreign policy positions. Sullivan’s former deputy, Jon Finer, who also lied to the public that Biden was pressuring Israel for a deal, has also joined the Center for American Progress as a senior fellow. Along with Sullivan, he’s also on the advisory board of Foreign Policy for America, a Democrat-aligned advocacy group with a previously solid record on Gaza.

Middle East lead Brett McGurk, who greenlit Israel’s bloody 2024 invasion of Lebanon and appeared to condone the Israeli government using hunger as a weapon – he and aides later reportedly dismissed reports of starvation in Gaza by quipping “where are all the skinny kids?” – is now a ubiquitous talking head for CNN. He’s not doing TV for the money – he could cash in on his Gulf diplomatic connections in private if he wanted.
