I can't be the only person who had no idea that #MattGaetz created an official "El Salvador Caucus" in the U.S. Congress last year and it just so happens to be full of most of that body's biggest cranks (#LaurenBoebert, #MikeLee, #NancyMace, #TimBurchett) and most corrupt reps (#AndyOgles, who made some “interesting” campaign finance moves at the crypto industry’s favorite bank that he and George Santos chose to hold their campaign money).

Feels like kind of a lot of congressional time spent nurturing America's relationship with a country whose GDP rivals that of Des Moines, Iowa.

[UPDATE] dear lord the El Salvador Caucus has an (extremely active) Twitter account: x.com/SAL_Caucus

Reminder that a contingent of America's finest MAGA conspiracy theorists flew to El Salvador to celebrate Nayib Bukele's victory over his country's constitutional term limits in June of 2024.

* Donald Trump, Jr.
* Tucker Carlson
* Matt Gaetz (R-Florida)
* Mike Lee (R-Utah)

This was the moment people like me who were aware of the Bukele regime's crypto corruption started getting worried about American Republicans' newfound admiration of Salvadoran #fascism.

#ElonMusk publicly calling for an end to all federal financial and environmental etc. regulations on a Twitter space with Senators #JoniErnst and "Based" #MikeLee:

"Regulations should be default GONE. Not default there. Default GONE. We need a wholesale spring cleaning of regulations. If we ever remove something good, we can BRING IT BACK. It's time to get the boot off of the neck of Americans. It's time to get ahead based on the function of your hard work and skill -- not regulations holding you back. This is not freedom. We've got to restore freedom."

Sen #MikeLee (R-Utah), the new chairman of the Senate #Energy & #NaturalResources Cmte, suggested that he would seek to overturn the decision using the Congressional Review Act, which allows lawmakers to nullify an executive action within 60 days of enactment with a simple majority vote.

…Lee said in an emailed statement, …“Senate #Republicans will push back using every tool at our disposal.”
