TILLERSON’S LONELY MISSION: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had two big speaking events yesterday, the first aimed at an internal audience in Foggy Bottom, the other was a plea to a rogue regime on the other side of the world.

If Tillerson was a man weeks away from unemployment, he didn’t show it during a town hall meeting with State Department workers yesterday morning that was broadcast to embassies and missions around the world. He was relaxed as he fielded questions from career civil servants, many of whom are concerned about the downsizing of the department and the defection of some their discouraged co-workers.
