Q: "When you were in [ICE] detention for 3 days, what were they telling you?"
U.S. citizen George Retes: "They literally just locked me up and they never said anything else…They gave me no explanation. That's why I gotta do all this work to hopefully get justice and the truth."

Trump, who was president during the 2020 election he falsely says was “rigged,” has been promising the imminent release of evidence to support his claim ever since.
Trump: "It was a rigged election. It's gonna come out over the next couple months too, loud and clear. Because we have all the information."

The U.S. government supporting deals that undermine national security as long as it gets a cut of the sales is one of the dumbest policies of this era.
