BREAKING: In a blockbuster revelation, Senator Van Hollen reveals the Trump Administration has promised to pay El Salvador $15 million, over double previous estimates, “to detain these prisoners, including the illegally abducted Kilmore.” This is illegal to do without Congress.
Government waste and inefficiency.
Humans or Trump's regime? How much is Trump and Musk stealing from Americans every single day!! They've robbed every American of their privacy! They stole security info that keeps all Americans safe! They let Russians hack your information! All of it! How long before a terrorist attack?
Preaching to the choir. Paying a foreign government $15 million to keep kidnapped people while claiming to promote efficiency and saving money is a big con.
🤭
El Salvador, Trump doesn't pay his bills.
ADOLF TRUMP HITLER.
I knew $6m was too low. How long before we find out that it is in the hundreds of millions?
15 million. 15 friggin' million. Hey ELON! Over here. Here's your waste, dude.
Yeah, that doesn't look like a 15 million dollar resort in the pictures...
15 million for 200 detainees or is he paying for more to go?
More to go!
If your brother, father, mother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparents were grabbed off of the street, and they were innocent, would you still gleefully say 'more to go?' What is the length of their gulag sentences? Do you know? Until death? For no crime, death? There's something wrong with you.
That wasn't gleefully it was amazement
Oh, sorry. I apologize.
Trump already said more are going even the judge had to confirm with them that no flights were leaving today or tomorrow
Donald J. Trump is a terrorist.
Jail Trump. His regime. Etc
Everyone should stop paying taxes at least all freelance small businesses Those employed not sure what to do
#JusticeForKilmarAbregoGarcia #HandsOff
...and it's OUR taxes paying for this crime!
😲😲😲🤬🍊💩
Isn't that $9 million more than the original amount? Has anyone seen the contract?
I mean, it’s illegal to imprison _anyone_ without a conviction, let alone a trial. We should fill the streets until traitor trump is punished to the fullest extent of Article III Section III.
Then Lock up Donald Trump & anyone in his administration who helped accomplish this evil....Are our laws really so pathetic that you (Congress) can't get this done....He's paying other countries to take prisoners----WTF???
Think of how many kids could have breakfast and lunch with $15,000,000.00
Where's DOGE now. That sounds like fraud to me.
Damn all the people who preached "stop sending aid to foreign countries i.e. Ukraine" are quiet right now. Pretty sure this isn't America first.
Some perspective This is as illegal as the Iran-Contra Scandal
Of course there’s money💸involved😑He’s so predictable 😲🥺🫢😑There’s always a toll to be paid🥺It just so happens the price was right😔
According to US government documents obtained by the Associated Press, El Salvador is receiving $20,000 (£15,100) per deportee per year. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Our tax dollars. Spent on human trafficking. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
... and golf trips to MAL ...
And then there’s this. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
SMFG but not surprised.
Honestly, the golf trips aren’t nearly as infuriating as snatching people off the fucking street and flying them out of the country never to be seen/heard from again.
Was just talking solely the monetary bullshit they're blowing. TOTALLY agree - this is apples to oranges comparison. We have GOT to get all of those deported people released. I think I heard the latest was $15MILLION to pay El Salvador.
I heard that $15 million figure too. Congress never appropriated that.
Yup. Our tax dollars hard at work ...
That's where our taxes are going. FUCK TRUMP
Unreal!! And most in congress are his disciples.
Yes we know it's illegal so when is congress going to stop him. American people are the home of the brave so don't give me that bull that Congress is scared of him that's b*******
Homan and Stephen Miller need to go too. And Pam Bondi with Kristi Nome. 🤬
All the Republicans are in on it!
It's up to the people. You have the constitution. Why does someone from another country have to tell Americans to defend themselves from fascists when Americans are always the ones bragging about the constitution?! It's a coup! Stay calm and organize and act accordingly.
The Trump Regime is hard of hearing. When you say "Home of the Brave” it hears "Home of the Slave"
I want to hear more information about all the other men who got deported to El Salvador. We need to bring them to life too! Get on it!!!
Tell Trump and republicans
Do. Something. About. It
Trump and his work force should all be in this prison
But they can't provide school lunches.... The Drumpf administration is evil. We. Are. The. Cavalry.
I don’t want my tax dollars supporting disappearing people
Aaaand being the beta country that we are, we will continue to let him do whatever he wants without consequence. We’ll just complain that what he’s doing is illegal while we wait for his next Illegal action that we’ll tolerate.
#Impeach
And the huge cost of flights & military
WTAF!!!
This case is about the US being like Hamas, and we are taking South American as hostages, El Salvador is in a co conspiracy with the US in acts of our terrorism. We are now a terrorist nation. Trump deserves an arrest warrant from the ICC.
Don’t you worry about congress, their time will come, and they will, most of them, be fired.
Congress hasn't appropriated any funds for El Salvador to house these prisoners, so where is the funding coming from? Diverting funds from other areas is also likely illegal.
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia
Fifteen million dollars for two planes of passengers?
Get this: Trump says and does, and then the Congress approves, is not other way anymore
That's how a fascist regime works.
I know, but his voters are the ones blinded
Deaf, dumb and blind. And just plain ol bat shit crazy.
I've heard of "Don't ask for approval, ask for forgiveness," but FOTUS never asks anything. He is above asking for approval, forgiveness, or saying thank you. He is the most devoid of emotion sociopath I have never witnessed. Even Charles Manson had a personality.
open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
Um….can we get past , any statement finishing with “this is illegal” when Trump does anything ?? Can we just acknowledge that everything he does is illegal and figure out how to be rid of him??
The world is a waiting with bated breath, till the same thing happens the orange blob that he is doing to others!
From what appropriated money?
I’m not giving him my money to use for torture. No more, he can’t blow OUR money fast enough on death camps.
Sick! I don’t want my tax money going to this bullshit!
WHERE ARE ALL THE HUMAN BEINGS HE DEPORTED?
Trump and his administration including Theil and Prince will be president for crimes against humanity!
Trump and his d
Wouldn't the previous estimate also be illegal? It's not the amount is it? It's spending without approval from Congress.
Taxes for torture. That's the regime policy?
Another impeachable offense!
Illegal and Trump are becoming synonymous with each other. There needs to be consequences for all these illegal actions.
Impeach. Indict. Incarcerate. This is a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.
86 47 FDT
And those payments are made with tax payers' money.
El salvador will be be getting a big surprise when they ask the rapist for their $$$. He never pays his bills. It's actually kinda funny the the President of El salvador was dumb enough to take them without the money upfront.
In solitary confinement with no contact to thee outside world.
If I had the opportunity to take care of him myself, I would do so with my bare hands. And I would lick my fingers when I was done. That’s how much I hate him.
DOGE should be making themselves actually useful and cut all this funding! You might get donations to send Trump, Elon, Vance, Tom, Pam, RFK to name a few. I think within a day there would be bets on who cried like a baby first.
Everyone watch the entire presser of Senator Van Hollen. The trump criminal enterprise is paying the El Salvador government 15 million $ to keep Kilmer locked up in a prison in El Salvador. This is the workings of criminal element, a mob & criminal enterprise. Trump is the bad guy & a psychopath.
It's quite clear now that it's impossible to let him finish his 4 years. Whether he goes out impeached or indicted doesn't matter and coming back is (has to be)out of the question! Ditto for Vance, Johnsson and a special trial against Musk who must explain everything they have done. No bail for them
I sure hope so
That's all there is right now. It's not just the US but Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Panama and we in Europe all have something at stake! He can go dictator in Florida. His wheels have come of and enough is enough!
He shouldn’t be allowed to serve now - everything he’s done is illegal. But you’re right - our nation won’t survive another four years. And I don’t care how he goes - but on a gurney sounds good.
Damn straight I like the way you think!
Thank you! I write it as I feel or see it. Strength in numbers 💪🌹! Followed you.
Unfortunately though, as long as the religious cultists and nazis that worked for years to get someone like him (a useful idiot who would push their Project 2025) in office continue to exist and are free, we will end up right back here again. The Heritage Foundation needs to go first.
He was impeached twice and still allowed to finish his term and run again. What would a third time do? We need to do what the Ice Cube song says.
Arrest the President?
You got the evidence.
I'll check it out. I don't really know any of his songs. I'm ooooold 🙃
That’s the only one I can recall. And it’s because it’s been so relevant.🤣
That’s taxpayer money!
WE the taxpayers will give $15 mil to el salvador, then $10 mil will come back to the republikkklan regime. Washed, rinsed, and ready to be passed out tax-free. Republikkklan regime, the regime of no laws for us and follow no court order. At one time, IT WAS the party of law and order. Not no mo

It is illegal to do with congress. Extra judicial punishment. Kidnapping.
I wonder how much the GOP are getting from this and how they're routing and washing the cash...
They should make Trump and Leon cut a check for it. I'm sure as hell not paying for it.
Our tax dollars going to torture people completely insane. 32 psychiatrists have said Trump is a sociopath with several personality mental illnesses
I guess only 32 were asked. How about if 100 psychiatrists were asked? Or maybe 1,000?
32 wrote a book about trump being a sociopath moremany more know he is a sociopath
😡😡😡😡😡
Diaper Don, Pam the Spam, Concentration Camp Miller, JD Whatever, Roman Homan & Bad Breath Bannon met their match yesterday. Senator Van Hollen forced their hand and they blinked. They'll keep blinking as they grin and their guts roil. Down to the Crossroads we go where the devil keeps their souls.
So Trump is wasting our tax dollars at these poor people expense just to make a deal with another scum fascist dictator from El Salvador. Trump and his administration need to be removed.
We need an accounting of spending so far, bu DOGE and the president. It’s our money! Congress holds the purse and did not approve this.
WHERE ARE THE MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN ??????????
Imagine that, Trump lying…….HA who would have guessed?!?!?
Trump and all his staff need to be thrown in JAIL!!
And what are you going to do about it? Oh. Nothing as usual.
And this doesn’t include what he’s secretly funneling directly to the president .. you know … under the table, so to speak. Follow the money
Trump still owes EJean Carroll
$15 million wouldn’t grease the wheels. Tories spent over £700 million on Rwanda. Work out the numbers at so much per head for estimated life expectancy.
impeach. convict. imprison. now. it's already four years too late. don't miss the chance.
So does that mean el Salvador is now a government contractor?
So, $15 million is considered to be efficient and not wasteful expenditures? So, too, the nearly $30 million spent on golf weekends, much of that money which went to properties owned by the golfer? @senatedemocrats.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social, I'll ask again, when will you act?
If it is illegal can Congress sue the administration?
It's not an administration. It's a coup. It's a regime. It's the cult of nazism.
@repstansbury.bsky.social we need legislation to stop these payments!!
supreme court needs to overturn trumps immunity
Yea like today
And yet MAGA Mike Johnson and his party outright refuses to hold Trump accountable at all given their loyalty & fealty to him. They need to be forced out of office prematurely to answer for their crimes by the will of the people. Waiting for an election is no longer an option! #OverthrowTrump
Wow! That is a lot of $$! Wonder where he’s taking that from?
Yet one more thing he has DOGE to thank for!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
Don’t let up, Senator Van Hollen. Every American Citizen is at risk now. This tyranny must be stopped.
But I thought it was federal workers who are committing fraud, waste and abuse...
Yes! So Congress…do something NOW! Stand the f$ck up!
At least one person with guts to stand up to the DJT machine.
Congress is done. Can’t count on them.
NEVER EVER GIVE UP
If Congress takes back their power to manage the budget, we could make the case to Bukele that El Salvador won’t be seeing the 💰💰💰 Trump promised so they should send all the prisoners back to the US.
Hey, @wyden.senate.gov , @jeff-merkley.bsky.social , @bynum.house.gov , @maxinefororegon.bsky.social , @repbonamici.bsky.social: they're using our tax dollars to fund human trafficking. What kind of response/action can Oregon expect from you on this? Don't worry, I'll also call your offices to ask.
Criminal turds. They are running scared shitless already. We’ve got the numbers. We’ve got the law and the truth on our side. They threaten violence. We can defend ourselves. It’s our duty and our legacy. No surrender. No prisoners.
Congress better wake the h up!!!!
trump will promise MORE $ because he's getting ready to send a lot more folks.
"Kilmar" not sure Kilmore is the right language. 😳
This is total insanity and it will not end well.
I bet $15 million in the right hands could shut that prison down.
IMPEACH. 🤬🗽
They were ALL illegally abducted and shipped to El Salvador.
Come on Congress, do your jobs.
Somebody, congress, representatives need to step up and get this criminal out of the gold plated Oval Office.
It's up to the people. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
Democrats offer Bukele $30M for release of prisoners and the end his relationship with Krasnov...
My guess is the House will quickly write up a bill to pay El Salvador and pass it quickly with their Republican majority. Same with the Senate.
Naturally, trump feels he can ignore the laws about funding his agenda ... why should he have to get anything approved by the Congress, after all, they won't even be a branch of government when he is finished grabbing all the power for himself ... so why wait and pretend they matter?
👍
IMPEACH!!!!!
We knew that! Trump is wasting all the money that is stolen from Medicare and the rest cuts to give it to gangsters around the world for doing the dirty job for him. Got it?
a judge could block those payments. the bureaucrat that pushes that reconciliation button goes to jail… let’s see who gets it done
First there was talk of the Gaza Riviera - perhaps this is funnel funding for the El Salvador Riviera.
Everything he does is freaking illegal. Pam Bondi is as criminal as he unless we have a shadow military nothing is going to happen to him.
Trump Must Go!
And take Felonia with him
Send trump to El Salvador. That’s where he belongs.

My sediment exactly. This isn't a fundraising moment. It's a hit the streets moment. You think anyone is paying us to protest. Pay for our gas to travel. HELL NO! All the benefits without the sacrifice. State reps and governors are welcomed.
She's right, but getting the Establishment Democrats to do anything is impossible. I've been posting on @schumer.senate.gov Daily, he just doesn't care. When you have worthless leadership, it's very hard to fight back. They will never step up and fight.
Liz Cheney is awesome
THIS!!! @booker.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov Some dems won’t want to take “drastic”measures because they are too entrenched in the political mire. So ditch them. Just as the GOP devolved into MAGA, it’s time for the rebirth of the Democrats as the visionaries of what CAN be
And it is taxpayer dollars!!!
This would really be breaking news if we didn't know that congress isn't going to do a damn thing. Spineless rats.
I have to ask. Where is $15 million coming from? Anyone? Congress didn’t approve this. We know Trump didn’t use his own funds. This needs to be ADDRESSED!
He must’ve diverted some funds from somewhere else. I know Texas has canceled some infrastructure grants from Biden’s infrastructure and jobs act.
That’s an interesting theory.
I honestly don’t know. 🤷♀️
This is a very good question. @hoyer.house.gov is this an appropriations question? Or another committee?
15 million?!
My tax dollars are gonna go to a dictator to pay to keep people imprisoned without trial?!
During the Reagan years, Oliver North sold weapons to Iran to fund illegal operations in Central America.
$15 million from which appropriation?
Major foreign investors included Coastal Technologies (power generation), Kimberly Clark (paper products), Texaco (fuel storage and distribution), Esso and Shell (petroleum refining), Bayer (pharmaceuticals), Sara Lee (clothing assembly), Xerox (sales), AIG (insurance), and British American Tobacco.
Trump was given carte blanche by the Supreme Court!
That's what I keep saying! What moron thinks this is all free? I also want to know how much these cost: ice, detention, planes, and lawyers ($$$$) to defend it all!!!!
WHERE ARE THE 100S OF PEOPLE HE DEPORTED!??? WHERE ARE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN?
At tax payers expense.😡
Yes, the missing women and children are probably in cages in El Salvador at your expense. What are you going to do?
Why are we paying El Salvador 15 million for their own citizens?
So what, Nothing will be done. You are all spineless wimps and you deserve everything that Trump serves you.
Not to mention on top of all that crap. Trump is taking away our jobs, healthcare, school support Monies. And now we hear he is Giving it to El Salvador. Why in The hell is this not pissing us off. How long do we wait to do something. UNTIL WE CAN’T AND ITS TOO LATE.
This is impeachable?
Wait, I thought Trump was all about reducing wasteful spending. How is it NOT wasteful to bribe other countries to keep hostages?
Where's DOG-E when you need em?
What the actual FUCK ??? Congress needs to stop this NOW.
