Democratic strategist James Carville urged Democrats to prioritize bringing back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national deported to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, calling it a “top agenda” item. “This we should fight on. You can’t pivot to an economic issue,” Carville said on his “Politics War Room” podcast, referencing the Holocaust poem “First They Came.”

Abrego Garcia, arrested by ICE in March and deported despite a 2019 court order shielding him from removal, is allegedly linked to MS-13, a claim his attorneys dispute. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador to negotiate his release, but was denied access to the prison.

Meanwhile, Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, citing the administration’s defiance of a Supreme Court order to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return. “I’ve seen enough,” Thanedar posted on X. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg found probable cause to hold the administration in contempt.

The Trump administration maintains Abrego Garcia is a gang member, defending the deportation as protecting public safety.

Dem Senator flies ALL THE WAY to El Salvador to sip cocktails with “Maryland Father (MS-13 Gangster)

Sen. Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran deported from the U.S., in El Salvador on Thursday, photos shared by President Nayib Bukele revealed. The images, showing the two with drinks, sparked controversy amid a legal battle over Garcia’s deportation.

Bukele posted three photos of Van Hollen and Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador’s CECOT megaprison last month despite a court order. “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture’, now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador,” Bukele wrote on X, mocking claims about Garcia’s treatment.

The Trump administration alleges Garcia, 29, is an MS-13 gang member, a claim his lawyers deny, citing no criminal charges. The Supreme Court and a Maryland judge ordered the U.S. to facilitate Garcia’s return after the Justice Department admitted an “administrative error” in his deportation. Van Hollen, who traveled to push for Garcia’s release, was denied access to CECOT earlier that day.

“I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance,” Van Hollen posted on X, noting he called Garcia’s wife, Jennifer, to relay his message of love. Bukele, however, vowed Garcia would remain in custody, escalating tensions in the high-profile case.

JK Rowling takes EPIC VICTORY LAP after pro woman supreme court decision (libs are furious)

J.K. Rowling, the “Harry Potter” author and vocal women’s rights advocate, celebrated a landmark UK Supreme Court ruling Wednesday that declared “trans women” are not legally recognized as biological women under the Equality Act 2010. The decision, which defines sex as binary—either male or female—prompted Rowling to take to social media with a triumphant tone.

 Neil says it’s TERF VE Day,” Rowling posted on X, referencing the group For Women Scotland, which she has supported. In another post, she shared a photo of herself with a drink and cigar, writing, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

X owner Elon Musk responded with fire emojis, amplifying her message.

The court’s unanimous ruling stated, “The definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.” This decision, hailed by campaigners as the “death” of self-identification, reinforces protections for biological women in single-sex spaces.

Rowling, long outspoken against transgender policies she believes encroach on women’s rights, has faced backlash but remains steadfast. Last month, she criticized the “unadulterated bullshit” of transgender activism. The ruling marks a significant victory for her and like-minded advocates, though it has sparked debate over transgender rights in the UK.

Giorgia Meloni drops AMAZING tweet after meeting with Trump! “Make The West Great Again”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told President Donald Trump on Thursday that together they can “make the West great again,” emphasizing shared goals to strengthen Western civilization during a White House visit.

Meloni, Italy’s populist leader, met Trump for a bilateral lunch and talks, focusing on economics, defense, space, and energy. Speaking in the Oval Office, she said, “I know that when I speak about [the] West mainly, I don’t speak about a geographical space. I speak about the civilization, and I want to make that civilization stronger.” She urged transatlantic cooperation, noting, “Even if we have some problems, okay, between the two shores of the Atlantic, it is the time that we try to sit down and find solutions.”

Trump praised Meloni, calling her a “fantastic” leader who has “taken Europe by storm.” He highlighted their discussions on trade amid a 90-day pause on U.S.-EU tariffs. Meloni invited Trump for an official visit to Rome, suggesting a potential meeting with European leaders.

The visit underscored their alignment on conservative values, including opposition to mass immigration and “woke ideology.” Meloni’s trip, the first by a European leader since Trump’s tariff announcements, aimed to ease trade tensions while reinforcing Italy’s strategic partnership with the U.S.
