Tillerson got canned. That's not all that's new with the Trump administration.

          On Monday, Rex Tillerson was secretary of State on official business in Africa. On Tuesday, he was ... Rex Tillerson. President Trump fired his secretary of State on Twitter, months after Tillerson reportedly had called Trump a "moron." Tillerson said at a news conference Tuesday that the president called him hours after the tweet was posted. 

Tillerson's exit shakes up a few things in the White House: CIA Director Mike Pompeo will now head the State
Department, Gina Haspel has been nominated to be the first woman to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, and Trump now plans for an unprecedented face-to-face meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un with a new team in place. What a day in Washington.

Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

 If #Rexit wasn't enough ...

• Trump visits California on Tuesday for his first time since taking office to take a peek at prototypes for his signature campaign promise: a "big, beautiful wall" for the U.S.-Mexico border.
• Trump's personal assistant, John McEntee, was abruptly fired Monday over "security" reasons, according to news reports.
• A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman said he quit after he was asked to spread "misleading facts" about a California immigration raid.
• Political junkies will be fixed on Tuesday's special election for an open U.S. House seat in southwestern Pennsylvania. Polling shows Democrat Conor Lamb neck and neck with Republican Rick Saccone in a district that Trump won by 20 percentage points.
