George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Kash Patel has "summarily dismissed" a trainee for displaying a pride flag.

"Summarily" means without attention to formalities. And there are formalities for firing a federal employee.

So the twit Kash is admitting that the firing was done in a pique of bigotry, not in accordance with the law.

NC pastor saying Charlie Kirk was “martyred” & openly supporting public executions. But the worst part: his church runs a private school taking over $2M of your tax dollars through NC GOP's voucher scheme. This isn’t just preaching — it’s politics turned into a holy war, on your dime. #ncpol
