A delegation of 7 House Republicans went to CECOT—2 posted photos, while others kept quiet. But a photo from the US Embassy in El Salvador blew their cover. I reached out to their offices & got this response from one: "We cannot confirm or comment on the Congressman’s location for security purposes"

Members of Congress visited CECOT for some torture tourism—and to prove loyalty to Trump.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
