“These changes deprioritize human rights, equity, health, and civilian protection, circumscribing the remit of U.S. diplomacy and sidelining core American values.”
Trump’s vision for American power prioritizes militarization. Fewer diplomatic tools will arguably make military conflict more likely.

The Trump admin’s proposed State Department reorg is a realignment of diplomatic priorities that seems set to constrain US soft power & reduce institutional capacity in key areas.

UPDATE: Trump seems to say for the first time that U.S. lacks ability to recover those sent to El Salvador if government deports someone erroneously. Says it’s totally up to Bukele. Seems to leave out that he could … ask Bukele to help fix an error. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.
SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.
