Cultural exchanges can counter propaganda and foster international goodwill. Through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the U.S. has enhanced its reputation around the world. The Trump Administration has proposed a 93% budget cut. buff.ly/OnTAC61

The hidden power of cultural exchanges in countering propaganda and fostering international goodwill
As the fate of US cultural exchange programs is debated, one foreign policy historian recounts how such programs have made it ‘harder to hate people you really know.’

Dedicated workers have spent decades at the Social Security Administration to ensure that your benefits are paid in full and on time– and they’ve never missed a payment. Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to fire them. HANDS OFF.

This isn’t deportation. It’s abduction. Trump is secretly kidnapping people—no warning, no due process, just disappearance.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. 

Text: “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”

The White House doesn’t care about Garcia’s legal status because they’re not enforcing immigration law—they’re conducting ethnic cleansing. They can’t justify their actions legally, but they don’t think they need to.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a father, a husband, and a union worker. The Trump administration kidnapped him in an IKEA parking lot while his 5-year-old son watched in the backseat of the car. But he should have never been taken.

Trump’s reckless tariffs could cost the average household $3,800 per year, according to analysis by the Budget Lab at Yale University. www.nbcnews.com/politics/eco...

Trump's new tariffs will hit lower-income households the hardest
While Trump campaigned on a pledge to lower prices for struggling Americans, his tariffs are expected to increase the cost of everything from kids’ shoes to fresh produce.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal-
vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a
2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal-
vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was
an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to
seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip-
lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ-
ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego
Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they
are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur-
ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador
will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such
detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor-
ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay
Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is
what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish
sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to-
night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process. The Government's contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable.
