UPDATE🤣🔥: The government of El Salvador denied a request from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) to see or speak to his Maryland constituent who was mistakenly deported there, the senator said during a visit to the country on Wednesday.
Van Hollen told reporters he asked El Salvador Vice President Félix Ulloa during a meeting Wednesday why Abrego Garcia is being held if U.S. courts and the government of El Salvador have found no evidence that he's a member of the MS-13 gang.
"His answer was that the Trump administration is paying El Salvador, the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT," the senator said, referring to the prison Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo. 🤥
Van Hollen said he asked to see Abrego Garcia or to speak to him on the phone to check on his condition.
The vice president told Van Hollen he needs to make earlier provisions to visit CECOT, the senator said. Asked if he could visit Abrego Garcia if he returns next week, the vice president said he can't make that promise, per Van Hollen. The Maryland senator asked to speak to Abrego Garcia on the phone, and Ulloa said he cannot arrange that but can try to do so if the American embassy asks. Van Hollen said he will ask the embassy to do so. READ | XPOST

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum traveled to New Mexico today to announce the emergency withdrawal and transfer of administrative jurisdiction over approximately 109,651 acres of federal land along the U.S.-Mexico border. The land will be transferred to the Department of the Army for a period of three years, subject to valid existing rights.
This action is intended to safeguard sensitive natural and cultural resources in the region while enabling the Department of the Army to support U.S. Border Patrol operations in securing the border and preventing illegal immigration.
“Securing our border and protecting our nation’s resources go hand in hand,” said Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. “The American people gave President Trump a mandate to make America safe and strong again. This transfer reflects Interior’s commitment to public safety, national security and responsible stewardship of our public lands.”
The Department of the Army requested the withdrawal and transfer of these lands on an emergency basis to allow for the increase in regular patrols by federal personnel, construction of infrastructure to prevent unlawful entry, disrupt foreign terrorist threats to the U.S., and to curb illegal cross-border activities, such as unlawful migration, narcotics trafficking, migrant smuggling, and human trafficking. President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency earlier this year along the southern border and directed members of his Administration to take swift action to combat all illegal activity within the region.

You know what Rand Paul spent the last 5 years doing?
- Claiming the 2020 election wasn't stolen
- Voting to certify the stolen 2020 election
- Saying almost nothing about America's corrupt county election systems
- Not being MAGA or AF but constantly talking in what I call "Con Inc. Media doublespeak" to "Conservative GOP".
So if your surprised he's 100% against Trump leveling the playing field with reciprocal tariffs in the very unfair and very undeclared TRADE WAR we've been in with other countries for decades, you haven't been paying attention.
He's exactly like Massie.
He's gonna stand directly in front of Trump's MAGA/MAHA/AF agenda and strike a most noble and courageous pose as he dramatically raises his hand and yells "STOP!"
While expecting applause and acclaim to be lavished upon him for his most principled stand!
Somehow I don't think this is going to go the way he expects it to.

🚨🇺🇸 INVESTIGATION REVEALS MASSIVE DEMOCRAT-LINKED PROTEST MACHINE BEHIND TESLA TAKEDOWN
After nationwide protests targeting Elon and Tesla, former WSJ reporter Asra Nomani uncovered a network of 24 Democrat-aligned organizations behind the scenes, with revenues over $124 million.
Marketed as spontaneous grassroots anger, these "Tesla Takedown" protests are actually coordinated "AstroTurf" events run through platforms like ActionNetwork and Mobilize .us, closely tied to Democratic Party activism.
Among key organizers: Indivisible Project, Democratic Socialists of America, MoveOn .org, and Swing Left.
At a protest in Virginia, demonstrators openly displayed Democratic signage and called for Elon's deportation.
Nomani’s investigation challenges the narrative of nonpartisan activism, exposing this effort as top-down political theater.
