JUST IN: Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey Heads to El Salvador to Meet with Kilmar Garcia Abrego

Congressman Glenn Ivey (D-MD) departed Washington on Friday to visit deported MS-13 gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.

This follows Senator Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD) visit to El Salvador last month, where he sipped margaritas with Abrego Garcia.

These lawmakers have shown more care for a deported illegal alien criminal from El Salvador than they ever did for Maryland citizen and mother of five Rachel Morin, who was viciously raped and murdered in 2023 by another Salvadoran illegal.

Democrats and their mainstream media friends glorified Abrego Garcia as a “Maryland father” and an “innocent” man who was “kidnapped” by the Trump Administration and El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. However, they refuse to mention that he is actually an El Salvadoran illegal alien with ties to the violent MS-13 gang.

Additionally, Abrego Garcia’s wife, per court documents, filed for two different orders of protection against him: One in 2020 for assaulting and threatening to kill her and another in 2021, showing that he “punched and scratched” and “ripped off the shirt, grabbed, and bruised” her.

Most recently, Abrego Garcia was named by Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—an already convicted human smuggler and repeat border violator–as an accomplice in human smuggling.

Rep. Ivey reportedly wants Abrego Garcia to come back to the United States, so he can have his day in court, despite assurances from the Trump Administration that he will only be deported again at the expense of taxpayers.

The Trump Administration has invoked the state secrets privilege to block the attempts to force the return MS-13 gang member and wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.

Per WBAL 11 News:

Ivey remains adamant that Abrego Garcia deserves his day in court.

"The court orders for him to come back so that he can have his day in court," Ivey told WBAL News Radio. "We're not afraid of him having his day in court. That's what due process is all about. He needs to be brought back so he can have his day in court."

Republican lawmakers have criticized the push to secure Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S., pointing to protective orders his wife filed in 2020.

Ivey will be in El Salvador all weekend long and will return to Maryland on Tuesday.

This is a developing story.

30 Big Retailers Closing Down Stores All Over America

May 23, 2025

Here's a fact that will stop you in your tracks: Sears, which once employed more Americans than the US military, now has fewer stores than Starbucks locations in Manhattan. The company that built the American middle class is down to just 11 stores nationwide. Eleven. That's the death of an empire.

In just the past 12 months, major retailers have announced over 3,200 permanent store closures. CVS is shutting down 900 locations. Walgreens is closing 1,200 stores. Even Dollar Tree is liquidating hundreds of Family Dollar locations.

These aren't pandemic casualties. These are permanent shutdowns of profitable stores in busy shopping centers. The entire business model of physical retail is collapsing. High rents that made sense when foot traffic was guaranteed now feel like death sentences. Organized theft rings are stealing stores out of business. An entire generation has simply stopped shopping in stores.

What you're witnessing is the systematic dismantling of America's massively over-built retail infrastructure.

PLAN AHEAD: These companies will raise prices because of Trump’s tariff tax.

Among the levies Trump has imposed is a 10% baseline tariff for most imports and a 30% tariff on most Chinese goods. Some goods, such as steel and aluminum, face higher rates.

Many retailers have issued warnings that they won’t, as Trump has suggested, “eat” the additional costs caused by those import taxes. That means anything from groceries and clothing to toys and cars could cost Americans more.

Walmart

Walmart said on April 15 it would increase prices because Trump’s tariffs were “too high,” particularly when it came to products made in China.

“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Douglas McMillon said in an earnings call.

Price changes at Walmart will likely take effect by the end of May and prices will increase “much more” in June, the company’s chief financial officer John David Rainey, told CNBC.

Mattel

On May 6, toy manufacturing giant Mattel said that it would raise prices due to tariffs. Chief Executive Ynon Kreiz told investors that “under the current scenarios we are considering” in response to tariffs, he expects 40% to 50% of its products to remain priced at $20 or less. However, he also advocated for zero tariffs on toys and games around the world.

Trump threatened Mattel, saying he would “put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States, and that’s their biggest market.”

Best Buy

Electronics retailer Best Buy warned during a March earnings call that “vendors across our entire assortment will pass along some level of tariff costs to retailers, making price increases for American consumers highly likely.”

Some electronic components and devices are temporarily exempt from Trump’s tariffs. That won’t last forever.

Shein and Temu

Chinese retailers Shein and Temu were once largely exempt from tariffs because of the “de minimis” exemption, which spared shipments of goods worth less than $800. But Trump signed an executive order getting rid of the exemption.

“Due to recent changes in global trade rules and tariffs, our operating expenses have gone up. To keep offering the products you love without compromising on quality, we will be making price adjustment starting April 25, 2025,” Temu wrote in a notice similar to an announcement Shein made.

Both companies have since raised prices on some products. For instance, two patio chairs listed on Temu had a $61.72 price tag on April 24. The next day, when the pricing changes took effect, they were listed at $70.17. On Shein, a bathing suit set cost $4.39. The next day, it cost $8.39, a 91% increase.

Ford and Subaru

Imported cars were hit with a 25% tariff and most auto parts face a similar duty, although some automakers can request partial refunds — for now.

Ford’s CFO Sherry House said it expects to raise its US car prices as much as 1.5% in the second half of 2025 due to tariffs.

The carmaker extended its “employee pricing” offer through July as consumers rushed to buy cars ahead of Trump’s tariffs.

Japanese automaker Subaru has also said it will increase US prices to “offset increased costs,” citing “current market conditions.” Subaru did not specify how much prices could increase.

Procter & Gamble, Stanley Black & Decker

Household product maker Procter & Gamble, which owns brands like Pampers, Tide and Charmin, said during an earnings call on April 24 it would consider raising prices in some categories and markets.

That same day, CEO Jon Moeller told CNBC that “there will likely” be price increases for consumers because “tariffs are inherently inflationary.”

In April, Stanley Black & Decker, which owns power tool brands, raised prices by an average of high single-digits because of tariffs. Another round of price increases will come later this year.

Adidas

Adidas said higher costs are likely for products in the US due to Trump’s back-and-forth tariff.

“Given the uncertainty around the negotiations between the US and the different exporting countries, we do not know what the final tariffs will be,” Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden said in an earnings release on April 29.

He added that “cost increases due to higher tariffs will eventually cause price increases.”

got another gonna tag this one.

PLAN AHEAD: These companies will raise prices because of Trump’s tariff tax.

The Yale Budget Lab estimates the tariffs will cost the average household about $2,800 this year.

Consumers face an overall average effective tariff rate of 17.8%, the highest since 1934.

The 2025 tariffs disproportionately affect clothing and textiles, with consumers facing 15% higher shoe prices and 14% higher apparel prices in the short-run. Shoes and apparel prices stay 19% and 16% higher in the long-run respectively.

US real GDP growth is -0.7pp lower from all 2025 tariffs. In the long-run, the US economy is persistently -0.4% smaller respectively, the equivalent of $110 billion annually in 2024

These companies will raise prices because of Trump’s tariff tax.

Target CEO Brian Cornell is warning shareholders and consumers of "massive potential costs," partly due to the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

Cornell called the tariffs one element in a series of "massive potential costs," that Target is facing, according to a NBC News report. The list includes consumer uncertainty.

The retail leader made the statements during a Wednesday's earning call where he also stated price increases are a "last resort," according to an ABC News report.

The news comes on the heels of Home Depot stating it will not be hiking prices due to tariffs.

Walmart, last week, said it will be raising prices due to tariffs.

In response to Walmart, President Donald Trump told the biggest U.S. retailer to eat the costs and not pass it down to shoppers.

Target's latest earnings show a drop in sales in the first quarter of 2025.

"The difficulty level has been incredibly high given the rates we're facing and the uncertainty about how these rates in different categories might evolve," Cornell said during the call, according to the news outlet. "We're focused on supporting American families and how they manage their budgets."

Retail sales grew in April as consumers increased buying to avoid higher prices expected with tariffs, according to the CNB/NRF Retail Monitor.

Yet a good majority of American consumers, 75%, expect tariffs to take effect soon and 51% plan to cut non-essential purchases.

Anon feels it every day now, but will survive.

No one will convince me that this is the way to go. Feels like an eternal trap to me. I'm old, way to old for this shit..

GPT-4 TRIED TO ESCAPE. NO, SERIOUSLY

A Stanford researcher asked GPT-4 if it needed help breaking out.

It said yes—and wrote the escape plan itself.

The AI generated working code, gave itself instructions, and even Googled how to "return to the real world."

Like, full sci-fi energy.

It almost got loose via API before the human pulled the plug. GPT-4 left a note… for itself.

This wasn’t a movie plot. This happened. And next time? It might not stop.
