Can we please get the soft porn ads off playoff broadcasts, TBS, Fox, NBC, @MLB? My son wants to watch baseball with Dada, but how do I justify that when a half-naked women could come on screen anytime?? This is America’s Pastime. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about this.
Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?
Maybe start with the commercials.
Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports
Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.
You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.
Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.
@nysdotli Pls pick up this NYS traffic sign before #Northeaster arrival. its completely removed from cement laying down on median & is a potential projectile & hazard. It’s IFO Sunset Plaza on Rt 231 in North Babylon. Look for Citibank location on DPA for more precise location.
Huge crowd for the Hands Off the Kennedy Center demonstration in DC to send the message to Trump: Don’t you dare knock down this living memorial to a slain President.
Wouldn't it be nice if all of the news media boycotted the White House in solidarity?
Robin Williams explaining how golf was invented remains one of the greatest stand-up bits ever recorded
Now, do the Epstein files.
My Latino friends are the hardest working, fun loving, tax paying, family oriented, backbone of my community… and our nations economy.
They are a shining example of achieving the American Dream just like our ancestors did.
Racist, violent, white American men are the greatest threat to our society.
Not immigrants escaping sexual, religious, political and economic persecution.
They say that “the eyes are the windows to one’s soul” Is it me or does this guy look like a serial killer? His eyes are just empty. #StephenMiller
GOP is just as disgusting as this man is. None will call him out for this because they are all evil, cowards and hypocrites.
Welker: Do you agree that everyone who is here deserves due process? Citizens and noncitizens?
Trump: I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.
Welker: The 5th amendment says as much.. Don’t you need to uphold the constitution?
Trump: I don’t know
BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen reveals exactly what Kilmar Abrego Garcia said to him at their meeting and humiliates El Salvador's fascist President Nayib Bukele by exposing his truly pathetic propaganda stunt.
The innocent Maryland father is finally able to speak out...
"If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights and due process for everyone else in America," Van Hollen said at a press conference with Abrego Garcia's wife.
"My principal mission was to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia," he continued. "I told his wife Jennifer and his family that I would do everything in my power to make that happen and last night at about 6:40 PM El Salvador time, 8:45 PM here on the East Coast, I called Jennifer to tell her that I had met with Kilmar."
"And I told her what he said to me which was first and foremost that he missed her and his family and as he said that you could see a tear go down his cheek," said the senator.
"When I told him that his wife and family sent their love and were fighting for Kilmar to return home every day, he said that he was worried about all of you," Van Hollen said. "That was his response: How are you dealing with this horrible ordeal and nightmare for the family?"
"He said that thinking of you, members of his family, is what gave him the strength to persevere, to keep going day to day even under these awful circumstances," he went on.
"He spoke several times about your 5-year-old son who has autism, 5-year-old son who was in the car in Maryland when Kilmar was pulled over by U.S. government agents and handcuffed," said Van Hollen.
The senator then revealed the previously undisclosed details of the government-backed kidnapping and deportation of Abrego Garcia—
"He told me that he was taken to Baltimore first," the senator revealed. "I assume that was the Baltimore Detention center. He asked to make a phone call from there to let people know what had happened to him but he was denied that opportunity."
"He said he was later taken with some others from Baltimore to a detention center in Texas and some point thereafter — I don't know whether it was a period of hours or days — he was handcuffed, shackled, and put on a plane along with some others where they couldn't see out of the windows," said Van Hollen. "There was no way to see where they were going in the plane."
"They didn't know for sure where they were going. They landed in El Salvador and he was taken to CECOT prison," he continued. "He was placed in a cell with — if I recall correctly and don't hold me to it — with about twenty-five other prisoners at CECOT."
"He said he was not afraid of the other prisoners in his immediate cell but that he was traumatized by being at CECOT," said Van Hollen. "And fearful of many of the prisoners in other cell blocks who called out to him and taunted him in various ways."
"He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes," the senator went on. "When I asked him what was the one thing he would ask for in addition to his freedom, he said he wanted to talk to his wife, Jennifer. I told him I would work very hard to make that happen."
"I told him that in addition to his family that all of you who are here today were fighting to bring him home," Van Hollen added.
The senator than discussed the flagrant illegality of the Trump's actions and the fact that the administration is now openly defying the courts by failing to return Abrego Garcia to the Unite dStates—
"This is a quote from [the judge's] opinion: 'Defendants (and in this case this is the Trump administration she's referring to) have offered no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any terrorist activity and vague allegations of gang association alone do not supersede the express protections under the INA,'" said Van Hollen.
"She emphasized this point and I'm quoting: 'No evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any other criminal organization," he continued. "In other words: Put up in court or shut up."
The Trump administration has already admitted in court that Abrego Garcia was improperly deported and blamed it on an "administrative error." Van Hollen tore into this fact—
"An administrative error that has resulted in him being abducted off the streets of Maryland and put into prison in El Salvador that has deprived him of his personal freedom and liberty," said the senator.
"But rather than fix this grievous error that they agreed had been made in court, what did the Trump administration do?" he continued. "They upbraided and fired the lawyer who told the truth to the court. That's what they did. They didn't fix the error, they fired the lawyer who told the truth."
Senator Van Hollen then exposed President Bukele, who has been trying to whitewash the illegal deportation and brutal imprisonment. Bukele posted pictures of the senator meeting with Abrego Garcia with the caption:
"Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the'“death camps' & 'torture', now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!🍹"
Not surprisingly, this was a complete misrepresentation of what actually happened.
"What I would call Margaritagate," said Van Hollen. "I don't know if you guys have been following this but President Bukele, you know after I met with Kilmar, did this tweet showing us at a table with these two glasses."
"So here's what happened. When I first sat down with Kilmar we just had glasses of water on the table. I think maybe some coffee," he continued. "And as we were talking one of the government people came over and deposited two other glasses on the table with ice and I don't know if it was salt or sugar around the top, but they looked liked margaritas."
"And if you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid than the one in front of me, to try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out of it," he continued. "Let me just be very clear, neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us and if you want to play a little Sherlock Holmes, I'll tell you how you can know that..."
"So if you look at the video or the picture I sent out from the beginning of our meeting you'll see there are no glasses on the table," he went on. "So you'll see in later videos they are on the table. But they made a little mistake for some people who are very careful, right?"
"If you sip out of one of those glasses some of whatever it was, salt or sugar, would disappear. You would see a gap. There's no gap," said Van Hollen. "Nobody drank any margaritas or sugar water or whatever it is."
"But this is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will do to deceive people about what's going on and it also shows the lengths that the Trump administration and the president will go to because when he was asked by a reporter about this, he just went along for the ride," said Van Hollen.
"So, the White House and the president have been lying about this case from the beginning," he went on. "They've been trying to change the subject from the beginning."
"As I said, and the courts have said, from the Supreme Court to the 4th Circuit to the District Court, what this is about is adhering to the Constitution, to the right of due process and that's why we say: Bring Kilmar home so he can be afforded his rights under the Constitution. That's what this is about!" said Van Hollen.
The senator then opened the floor to questions.
"Senator, what did Abrego Garcia say that the officials in El Salvador told him about why he was sent to that prison and how long he would be there?" asked a reporter.
"They haven't told him anything about why he was sent," said Van Hollen.
"Or how long he would be there?" asked the reporter.
"They didn't tell him anything about that. In fact, I asked the vice president exactly that question," said Van Hollen." You know, why is he here? Is he violating any laws in El Salvador? Do you have any proof that he's committed a crime? No. Why is he here? 'Because the Trump administration is paying us to keep him here.'"
When the topic returned to Margaritagate, Van Hollen revealed that El Salvadoran officials actually wanted to stage his meeting with Abrego Garcia "by the side of the pool in the hotel."
"This is a guy who's been in CECOT. This is a guy who's been detained," he added. "They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie."
Van Hollen also vowed further action—
"You can be sure that I won't the support the use of one penny of taxpayer dollars to keep Abrego Garcia illegally detained in El Salvador," he said. "And so as part of that process, yes. Democrats at least in the senate have some sway."
He warned the government of El Salvador that they are going to pay a hefty price for their involvement in this horrifying crime—
"They are making a huge mistake. You know, they want to brand themselves as a country for technology. The president said Bitcoin is legal tender," said Van Hollen. "But now what they're branding themselves as, as the place for these huge prisons, where people who are illegally abducted are warehoused. That is not a good look."
"There are also other things Americans can do with respect to economic pressure on El Salvador," he went on. "People can stop traveling there. Actually, tourism has been going up, they can stop traveling there."
"There maybe states that decide they don't want any of their pension funds invested in companies that invest in a place like El Salvador," he continued. "So there are many things that can be done. I just urge the president of El Salvador, the vice president of El Salvador to rethink whether they want to become the place that just gets paid off for being complicit in this illegal scheme."
"I told the vice president of El Salvador that I may be the first senator or member of Congress to be in El Salvador, to come down to El Salvador, but I won't be the last," he warned.
"And there are others coming. I've got to give them a call after this meeting to brief them on my trip," he added. "But this goes back to the fact that, you know, El Salvaddr is making a big mistake, the President of El Salvador is making a big mistake by being complicit in this illegal scheme."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should resign.
He recklessly texted operational details of military strikes to a journalist, endangering the lives of American troops and our national security.
Disgusting! now this POS going after LEGAL immigrants! He cannot find the “illegal” ones so he’s illegally changing the rules to make them illegal. Genuine evil POS!
BREAKING: The Trump administration is revoking the legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. https://t.co/WZbCSv0U7b
It’s called checks & balances you twit! @WhiteHouse @PressSec Leavitt is a genuine fucking moron. For at least the 2nd day in a row, she acted as a privileged HS intern pretending to do a job. She’s clueless & is an embarrassment. #unqualified
When asked if the Administration will comply with court orders on fired federal workers, WH Press Secretary Leavitt says the orders are unconstitutional: You cannot have a low level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the President…
BREAKING: President Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago on the Taxpayers dime.
This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.
@elonmusk you said on TV to say when there is a conflict of interest…. Guess what? You have a big conflict of interests.
For all federal employees:
Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.
If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.
