I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

if you look at what Trump does through a lens of his need for absolute control, it all makes perfect sense (that he’s a wannabe authoritarian)
There's a dark truth behind Trump's tariffs: Absolute control.
Trump's tariffs will be a potent and unilateral mechanism for reintroducing systematic corruption into the economy—and total control over its most influential players.

USAID was paying for the removal of Vietnam-era land mines in Cambodia. When aid was frozen, China stepped in to fund the project. Cambodia is pushed closer to China and further from us. This is an example of the soft power and humanitarian benefits of USAID.
