I want to – make that need to — know what Secretary Hillary Clinton is doing every day
By SusanUnPC on January 24, 2009 at 8:00 PM in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, State Department, State Department Press Briefings
Since I’ve got a hunch that the media won’t be covering most of Hillary’s day-to-day achievements as Secretary of State — except when they can somehow infer that Hillary is focusing on a certain country because Bill’s foundation somehow got funding from that government or one of its prominent citizens (RIGHT?) — I’m digging around the State Department (it’s easy to remember as state.gov) to find out how to get make sure I get daily news.
Ani spend a lot of time finding and including all the information she provided and desecribed in her great post on Hillary’s first days as SoS below.
Here’s one way we can get daily reports, via State’s Press Briefing section, and I’ve signed up already:
Wait! There’s more information you can get from State:
ALSO: State has a video page where you can get videos under four headings: — Top Stories (2 videos as of today) — Secretary of State (3 videos as of today) — Daily Briefings (none yet) — In Other News (none yet). Also, at the bottom of the pages with videos, there are links to the full transcripts.
Then, once you’ve signed up for the daily press briefings (shown in the screenshot above the fold), you’re taken to a new page with options that allow you to sign up for specific newsletters from the many departments at State. This screenshot shows just the beginning of all the departments from which you can get announcements, and you can choose which departments you want to hear from by checking/unchecking specific sections:
Then, after you’ve completed that page and clicked the “Save” button at the bottom, you’re taken automatically to another page about careers at State:
We should get young adults we know to consider applying to State so they can join Hillary. What a career they could have!
NOW, what else is going on in the world?

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
There’s also a nifty new Hillary blog at hillary.foreignpolicy.com that looks promising.
Thanks for the heads up alli!
Hillary’s post at Foreign Post (Madam Secretary) is also very interesting.
THANKS, SUSAN, A MILLION PLUS…for this excitingh new resource tool for us incurably afflicted with Hillary Obsession! Great info at our fingertips! Thanks for your WONDERFUL RESEARCH on this…..Very interesting Department data….Hope I’ll get my daily dosages….
Thanks!!
Great resources.
I’ve always been interested in International politics.
You are ever vigilant Susan, and I love that about you.
And the improvement of technology on the web should allow us to follow our government at all levels if we are to see this “transparency”.
The congress has many websites for its committees and members, but some are real shoddy. It would be nice to have them get some standards and move into the 2009 tech sphere.
Here at NoQuarter, we will certainly see more shifts in the coming year in technology and hope to bring more video and audio directly to the readers.
Wow! Thanks for that, Susan. I’m going to sign up for the emails and forward the information to my older son. He’s wildly interested in foreign service work. What an opportunity! He spent a year in Africa, loved the work and people.
Thanks.
Wouldn’t it be cool if your son could apply? I didn’t sign up for those announcements, but he can if just signs up for the daily newsletter, then the next page on specific areas of the world, and then you’re automatically taken to the page to subscribe to all the job opportunities.
But I also recall that there’s a link to Careers at the top of the State Dept. home page.
What part of Africa was he in? I’ve been watching some of the videos on Africa up at Al Jazeera. Zimbabwe is getting worse and worse, as if that’s possible.
Thanks, Susan. I’ve signed up to get the daily reports just now. And thank you, Ani, for providing those videos of our wonderful SOS, Hillary. It’s great to hear and watch a grown-up representing our country again.
And once again, thank you!! That feels so needed – right you are. As I was reading some of the “difficult” comments on the Truthtelling007’s onderful appreciation of you and Larry, I found my jaw tightening but I suspect that both of you know better than to let that happen. I go pick up Claire Davie’s great book “Trigger Point Therapy Workbook” whichh we live by in thishouse and it is still under $15 at Amazon. Also, BTW, great for us ffolks that spend too much time on one or another computer…
Thank you for all of the things you do.
The other Susan
Great information. Thanks a lot. Looks like we will be able to follow Hillary. And she is already being a total workhorse.

Thanks for this information, Susan!
I’m pleased with HRC’s appointments so far.
Thanks for the links–very exciting! Of course, she’s immediately at work. It’s going to be great watching her span the globe, bringing her solutions to people and areas that are hungry for her intelligence, commitment and compassion.
Thank you. I signed up.
Thanks Susan. I signed up. Thanks for the information.
Looks like we’ve been empowered to maneuver successfully around the Obama-biased main stream media to find the facts and the truth, on some very important matters to our nation and its security, instead of the puff pieces they want to do on how charming and inspirational Obama is (chill up their legs)… Thank goodness! And thanks Susan and Ani.
Thanks very much for passing on this information, Susan. We sure can’t count on the MSM to keep us anywhere close to being in the loop. In times like these, it’s all about taking personal responsibility…
