SHOCK POLL: More Americans Want ICE Abolished Than Not After Renee Good Shooting

On Wednesday of last week, Ross shot and killed Good in Minneapolis during a hotly disputed incident that was caught on camera. Trump Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem rushed to label the 37-year-old Good a domestic terrorist whose killing was justified, and Trump himself attacked the woman. But video and police statements contradicted their version of events, and protests have been widespread in the aftermath of the incident.

The Guardian view on Trump's assault on the Fed: it is part of an affordability blame game | Editorial

By launching a legal assault on the Fed, Mr Trump is trying to shift blame for borrowing costs. Yet despite controlling the presidency, Senate and the House, Republicans have passed little beyond a large tax-cutting bill that benefits the rich. They have not legislated on housing supply, childcare, healthcare costs or wages. Indeed most of their actions are worsening affordability, notably deferring action even though millions face a sharp rise in their health insurance bills.
