Federal Agent Told Combat Veteran 'You're Dead, Liberal' At Little Village Encounter, Attorneys Say
The allegation comes as ICE and Border Patrol are increasingly facing pushback for using tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and other measures against peaceful protesters and bystanders.

ICE shouldn’t have guns, they shouldn’t be wearing masks…they shouldn’t even exist.
Governments are firing immigration judges, they’re arresting people at hearings, they’re ending protective statuses.
There is no “right way” because they don’t want there to be one.

So many reasons I could not cut it in politics, but one is I would just laugh inappropriately too much. Imagine, you’re at a meeting of senior leaders and the CEO comes out with this crap.
Keir Starmer has this morning urged Cabinet to keep its nerve amid grim opinion polling (today’s YouGov put Labour in third place behind Reform & Tories)
“Governments do not lose because polls go down. They lose when they lose belief or nerve. We will do neither,” he said

Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.
