2 media appearances today — BBC & News Nation — to discuss the urgent & unlawful deportation of Abrego Garcia. Despite a unanimous 9-0 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court stating that he must be brought back, he remains imprisoned in El Salvador. #Bukele #Trump #SupremeCourt

Trump announces 90-day pause on most tariffs-except China-after serious pressure from bond markets. Investors fled U.S. assets, over concern of trade wars. The financial system showed warning signs, & 10-year Treasury bonds weren’t spared. How quickly economic missteps can shake confidence & power.

Thanks to the @atlanticcouncil for the opportunity to discuss key democracy challenges for the Trump administration. My call to action is we need to do more to explain to the American public why democracy promotion matters for our national security. #usaid #democracy @friendsofusaid.bsky.social

Someone should tell Secretary Rubio to read his own dept’s report on human rights conditions in Salvadoran prisons before sending citizens of another country there. We can house unconvicted individuals in our own country #ElSalvador #trendearagua #venezuela #deportations #dueprocess # humanrights

Let’s break down the misleading arguments on Ukraine 🧵🇺🇦
1️⃣ “We shouldn’t send $ to 🇺🇦 when we have problems in US.”
➡️ False choice. The US def budget is ⬆️ $800B yearly & aid to 🇺🇦 is fraction of that. Most military 💵 is spent supporting US jobs. Stopping 🇷🇺 now is cheaper
