Trump admin live updates: Dems react to Hegseth discussing Yemen strike in 2nd chat

President Donald Trump called into a meeting Wednesday morning held by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, in which he backed school choice in Texas, according to the governor's post on X.

The state legislature will vote on Senate Bill 2, which would create an education savings account program to allow families to help pay for private school with taxpayer dollars.

"Now, we're going to be leading in education too," Trump said on speaker phone. "So I just think it's a really forward-thinking vote. There's nothing complex about it."

Judge James Boasberg has found probable cause that the Trump administration acted in contempt of court when officials last month defied his order to turn two planes around carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.

"As this Opinion will detail, the Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt," he wrote.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he will close the State Department's Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) hub, formerly known as the Global Engagement Center,a small office within the department that tracks and counters foreign disinformation campaigns.

Rubio said he was doing so because the hub, he alleged, "spent millions of dollars to actively silence and censor the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving."

Shuttering FIMI will eliminate the only office inside the agency dedicated to thwarting disinformation campaigns spawned by U.S. adversaries such as Iran, China and Russia.

Critics of the initiative have long claimed that it silenced conservative voices. Rubio's claims of protecting free speech also come as the State Department targets some on visitor visas who participate in protests that agency leaders have deemed to be "pro-Hamas."
