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 โ€˜harder to hate people you really know.โ€™

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

Dedicated workers have spent decades at the Social Security Administration to ensure that your benefits are paid in full and on timeโ€“ and theyโ€™ve never missed a payment.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to fire them.

HANDS OFF.

This isnโ€™t deportation. Itโ€™s abduction.

Trump is secretly kidnapping peopleโ€”no warning, no due process, just disappearance.

A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. 

Text: โ€œFixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.โ€

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 โ€œ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador whoโ€™s never coming back.โ€

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

The White House doesnโ€™t care about Garciaโ€™s legal status because theyโ€™re not enforcing immigration lawโ€”theyโ€™re conducting ethnic cleansing.

They canโ€™t justify their actions legally, but they donโ€™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.

He doesnโ€™t care if people suffer.

He just cares about never admitting heโ€™s wrong.

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 kidsโ€™ shoes to fresh produce.

Trumpโ€™s reckless tariffs could cost the average household $3,800 per year, according to analysis by the Budget Lab at Yale University.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donโ€™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.

Why are all these people protesting, and why is our money, healthcare, and retirement getting f***ed with?? And what the f*** can we do about it????

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?

Both. It's both.

Lesson for the Gen Z kidsโ€”Jim Cramer infamously said the Wall Street mega bank Bear Stearns will not collapse in 2008. It collapsed just as he spoke those words.

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 โ€œroutine,โ€ Resp. C.A. Stay
Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alienโ€™s return, which is
what courts have ordered in other cases. This orderโ€”and its demand to accomplish
sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garciaโ€™s return to-
nightโ€”is unprecedented and indefensible.

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.
