Trump Live Updates: Democrats Demand Release of Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Visit

The White House press secretary said that President Trump still has confidence in his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, after a New York Times report revealed that Hegseth shared highly sensitive planning about a military strike in Yemen on a second Signal group chat. Follow updates.

Democrats Land in El Salvador, Seeking Release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia The visit comes on the heels of a trip by Senator Chris Van Hollen, who met last week with the deported man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

Four Democratic lawmakers have arrived in El Salvador, where they intend to continue pressing for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported by the Trump administration to a prison in the Central American country.

It's just a matter of time until Pete Hegseth gets Americans killed, if he hasn't already. And by "Americans," I don't just mean members of the military. He's a danger to all of us.

Thank god that the U.S.’s greatest ally, the Taliban, got the best rate for the “Discounted Reciprocal Tariffs” of any country

It is much much dumber than we thought.

The "Tariffs charged to the U.S.A" is a made up number that simply consists of the trade deficit with that country divided by U.S. imports.

Iraq: 78% = $5.4B/$6.9B
Liechtenstein: 73% = $155.4M/$218.1M
Cambodia: 97% = $11.4B/$11.7B

Opinion | Brazen Hypocrisy Enters the Signal Group Chat In Trump World, the rules apply only to other people.

“Most regular Americans really don’t like hypocrisy, especially when the stakes are as high as they are here,” writes Jill Filipovic. “Even if it changes nothing, it is always worth countering duplicity with truth.”

The Trump administration has set up an email (airaction@epa.gov) allowing polluters to request exemptions from nine Clean Air Act rules. Under Section 112(i)(4) of the Clean Air Act, the president has the authority to grant these exemptions through a Presidential Exemption.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".

He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.

Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

This is no longer the United States, our own government is terrorizing us

The entire point is to terrorise anyone and everyone

Not just asylum seekers

Not just lawful permanent residents

Not just visa holders

Not just non-citizens

EVERYONE

A big hell no to this

Wow rubio is all in on the descent into complete madness in the u.s. Guess freedom of speech is a thing of the past. Are we great yet? I don’t feel great

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.

It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

There are more cases of measles in the US than there are NCAA trans athletes

But Trump • Elon • RFK don't want you to realize that!

How can people consider Musk some kind of tech genius and efficiency expert. The emperor has no clothes. And we and future generations will all pay the price.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

March 1, 2025 John Simpson of the BBC noted recently that “there are years when the world goes through some fundamental, convulsive change.” Seven weeks in, he suggested, 2025 is on track to be one of them: “a time...

Way to go, Vermonters. You make us proud.

Hey check out what Mark Cuban has to say about this on Bluesky😀

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Love this idea!

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Trump & Elon are SO short-sighted.
