El Salvador Will Not Facilitate the Return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
El Salvador's President says he will not return the alleged illegal alien gang member to the US.
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
Democrats are FUMING that El Salvadoran President Bukele said he will not facilitate the return of an alleged illegal alien gang member sent there by the Trump Administration.
The Democrats, along with their pals in the media, like to refer to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as simply 'a Maryland father,' completely ignoring that he's not only an illegal alien but has been determined by two courts and county authorities to be a gang member.
They want him returned to the US. The Trump Administration insists they don't have the authority to do so given Garcia is a foreign national on foreign soil.
When asked by reporters in the Oval Office if he would facilitate the return of Garcia, El Salvador's President Bukele also declined.
There you have it.
Legality aside, it's quite the message the Democrats are sending.
They'll go to the ends of the earth to get an illegal alien back on YOUR soil.

Dems reject Newsom's cuts to healthcare for undocumented immigrants
Nearly a month after Governor Gavin Newsom proposed pausing the expansion of publicly funded healthcare for undocumented Californians, Democratic lawmakers are drawing a line in the sand. This week, legislative leaders in both the Assembly and Senate advanced a new budget proposal that pushes back against some of the governor's most controversial cuts. At the heart of the disagreement is Newsom's plan to pause the 2026 Medi-Cal expansion for low-income undocumented residents and require the 1.6 million undocumented Californians already enrolled to begin paying $100 monthly premiums. Citing the state's projected $12 billion deficit, Newsom has said these proposals are difficult but necessary. 'There are investments we're making we cannot continue to make,' Newsom said during his budget presentation last month. But state Senate Budget Committee Chair Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) assured the public this week, 'No one is going to be kicked off healthcare.' Wiener argued that undocumented Californians – who work, pay taxes, and have deep roots in their communities – deserve continued access to Medi-Cal coverage. The Democrats' budget plan would delay the Medi-Cal pause until summer 2027 and reduce proposed premiums from $100 per month to $30. Senator Akilah Weber-Pierson (D-San Diego) emphasized that maintaining coverage was a promise California made: 'We are not disenrolling anyone from Medi-Cal.' Republicans, however, have raised concerns about cost. Senator Kelly Seyarto (R-Murrieta) warned that healthcare spending for undocumented individuals – estimated at $10 to $12 billion – is unsustainable. 'We have to figure out how to make that work better… this is the second runaway train,' Seyarto said, making a passing reference to the state's unfinished high-speed rail project. To help close the budget gap, some Democrats are now discussing the possibility of raising taxes on large corporations. Senators Caroline Menjivar (D-San Fernando Valley) and Sasha Renée Pérez (D-Pasadena) said it's time to consider taxing the wealthiest businesses rather than cutting services for vulnerable populations. 'If corporations are getting huge tax breaks at the federal level, we need to start talking about taxing them at the state level,' Pérez said. Still, Republicans insist spending reforms should come first. Senator Roger Niello (R-Fair Oaks) dismissed the idea of a tax hike, saying, 'That's not a viable solution. Clearly it is a spending problem.' The legislature and governor have until June 15 to finalize and pass a budget. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Hogg forgoes reelection for DNC vice chair
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg announced Wednesday that he would be forgoing reelection for his spot in the committee after DNC members voted to redo the vice chair election of Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta. 'I came into this role to play a positive role in creating the change our party needs. It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair — and it's okay to have disagreements. What isn't okay is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on,' he said in a statement shared through his Leaders We Deserve group. 'Ultimately, I have decided to not run in this upcoming election so the party can focus on what really matters. I need to do this work with Leaders We Deserve, and it is going to remain my number one mission to build the strongest party possible,' he added. Earlier on Wednesday, DNC members voted 294 to 99 to redo the election of both vice chairs after Oklahoma DNC member Kalyn Free challenged the way the election was conducted in February, alleging in a letter that it unfairly gave the male candidates an advantage over the female vice chair candidates. The challenge was issued far before Hogg announced his group would be getting involved in primarying safe Democratic incumbents. But the two began to run in tandem as Hogg's decision to wade into Democratic contests drew the ire and disapproval from members of the party, including DNC Chair Ken Martin, who believed he shouldn't be doing so as an officer of the national party. Tensions between DNC leadership and Hogg came to a head earlier this week when audio was leaked of a Zoom call with DNC officers that happened last month and was published over the weekend, indicating Martin was frustrated with Hogg. Some members indicated that they were reconsidering how they would vote over whether the DNC should redo its vice chair election in light of the leaked reporting. Martin responded to Hogg's announcement in a statement saying, 'I commend David for his years of activism, organizing, and fighting for his generation, and while I continue to believe he is a powerful voice for this party, I respect his decision to step back from his post as Vice Chair.' 'I have no doubt that he will remain an important advocate for Democrats across the map. I appreciate his service as an officer, his hard work, and his dedication to the party,' Martin added. The DNC is set to hold its vice chair elections this week and next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

David Hogg exits DNC
David Hogg ended his 130-day tenure at the Democratic National Committee on Wednesday, opting not to run again for vice chair after DNC members voted to hold a re-vote for the job. 'I have decided to not run in this upcoming election so the party can focus on what really matters,' Hogg wrote in a letter announcing his decision. The news that Hogg would not seek the role again was first reported by Semafor. Hogg's decision ended a months-long saga that began with a botched Feb. 1 election, continued with a challenge by one of the Democrats who lost to him, and turned into a widely-covered argument about the future of the party. The 25-year-old Democrat, who frustrated some in the party when he told The New York Times that his political PAC would intervene in Democratic primaries, clashed with DNC Chair Ken Martin over a plan to bar that sort of politicking by committee members. 'I commend David for his years of activism, organizing, and fighting for his generation,' Martin said in a statement. 'While I continue to believe he is a powerful voice for this party, I respect his decision to step back from his post as vice chair. I have no doubt that he will remain an important advocate for Democrats across the map. I appreciate his service as an officer, his hard work, and his dedication to the party.'Last month, the DNC's rules and bylaws committee recommended that the full party vote to hold new elections, siding with Democratic activist Kalyn Free, who'd lost the Feb. 1 election for vice chair. On Wednesday afternoon, the DNC announced that the party had voted to approve Free's challenge by a 294-99 margin, and would hold new elections on the grounds that the Feb. 1 vote had violated its rules. In the new election, under the party's gender parity rules, one vice chair slot would be reserved for a male candidate, and one slot could go to a candidate of any gender. Malcolm Kenyatta, who was elected to the male vice chair slot on Feb. 1, had won more votes than Hogg that day; Hogg won the second slot over Free and two other female candidates. The re-vote loomed as much more difficult for Hogg. On Thursday, California DNC members held a call about their plans for this week's votes. Most did not favor holding a new election. But if one was held, several members who had supported Hogg before intended to support someone else, with several favoring Washington state Democratic chair Shasti Conrad, the runner-up to Hogg in February. 'I appreciate that DNC members wanted to rectify the issues with balloting in the previous election,' Conrad told Semafor. 'I'm looking forward to putting this all behind us, and getting back to the work of electing Democrats.' On Sunday, Politico published audio of a May 15 meeting between DNC officers, including Hogg, where Martin said that the vice chair had 'essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to' at a crucial time for the party. Hogg denied being the source of the leak, but that weakened his position with party members further, with several saying on the record, and on social media, that Hogg could not be trusted. That led to Wednesday's lopsided online vote for a new election. Candidates who had competed for the roles in February were allowed to run again, and to submit one-minute videos making their cases. According to several DNC members, Hogg was the only potential candidate who did not submit a video. The online election for the male vice chair role will be held as scheduled, ending on Saturday. Kenyatta will be the only candidate on the ballot, and the election for the other vice chair role will be held between Sunday and all that? Hogg's win on Feb. 1 came at the end of a long day when DNC members agreed to rush their final vote and get it over with. No one in the room expected this to happen next. Hogg had been clear that he co-led The Future We Deserve, a PAC that spent money to elect Democratic candidates. Free had filed her challenge to the vote weeks later. But not until April 15, when Shane Goldmacher of The New York Times reported that the PAC could spend money on primary challengers, did this explode into a controversy. Martin, who himself had once endorsed candidates as the chair of Minnesota's Democratic Farmer-Labor Party, was dead set on a rule banning party members from doing that in the future. This was, in part, a legacy of the 2016 presidential primary, where Hillary Clinton's early support from party members infuriated supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who called the primary rigged — even though Clinton would end up with more votes and more delegates elected in the primaries and caucuses. Ahead of the 2020 primary, Democrats changed their rules to prevent 'superdelegates' (DNC members not elected in primaries) from voting on the first ballot at a national nominating convention. And before the 2024 primary, the DNC voted to endorse Joe Biden as its nominee — a decision that complicated things for any potential Biden challenger, and the three who did run. A few states opted not to hold primaries altogether, pledging their delegates to Biden — who, of course, ended up bowing out before the convention, after the most damaging debate in the history of presidential elections. When will Democrats get past the party's internal struggles, all of them distractions from the work of opposing the Trump administration and beating Republicans? Today, they hope. The Hogg drama really didn't have any effect on Democrats' ability to win elections this year, like Wisconsin's state supreme court race and an Iowa state Senate election that flipped back a GOP-held seat. As Martin said on the call, obtained by Politico's Holly Otterbein, the story made Democrats look bad, distracted from their work, and made life easier for Republicans. But Hogg made his point, one that a lot of Democrats do agree with: There are a great many elderly incumbents who aren't doing much for the party, and they create problems for the people they want to serve when they die in office instead of letting new talent rise the Times, Goldmacher has more on Hogg's decision. 'It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair — and it's OK to have disagreements. What isn't OK is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on.' In Fast Company, before the vote, Devin Gordon talked to Hogg about what might happen with his challenge to the party.
