The killing of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis last Wednesday has shocked the world and become a political nightmare for the Trump administration. The proper response to this horrific killing would be an independent and transparent investigation. Instead, the Trump administration has chosen the path of stonewalling, cover-up, and demonizing the victim-including by making sexist and homophobic attacks against Good.
Embattled Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey announced Monday he will not seek reelection to the office he has held since 2010, ending a decades-long career in public office. "After thorough consideration, I have decided not to seek reelection this November," Morrissey said in a statement. "I am extremely proud of the work I have accomplished during my 15 years as Norfolk District Attorney, and I believe the time is right for me to start a new chapter in my life."
On Jan. 3, soon after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro at his compound in Caracas, the political researcher Tyson Brody noticed strange activity on Polymarket. Brody is one of a growing group of observers who monitor for unusual trades on the platform, which allows people to gamble on the outcome of future events, from the weather to NFL games to governmental upheavals.
Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him-and this or any administration-accountable," Kelly said in a statement.
Apparently, they are protesting the removal of heinous murderers and rapists and criminals from a city that I can guarantee you, when you look at the list of the illegal criminals that ICE is removing from our communities every day, not a single person in those protests, and not a single person standing here that works in the mainstream media in Washington, D.C., would want those individuals in your neighborhood, in your community, around your children and around your families.
One agency immediately stands out: the Internal Revenue Service. In January 2025, the IRS hired 1,313 people. Over the next two months the agency laid off 11,000 workers, or about 11% of its workforce. And it hired zero people in February and March. What happened at the IRS amidst the DOGE-slashing effort that swept through the federal government is an extreme case of how Musk and his wrecking crew gutted agencies. The IRS did not respond to a request for comment.
A global contest is escalating between democratic institutions governed by the rule of law and lawless dictators who seek to enrich themselves and their cronies. Here at home, President Trump's tariffs are driving up costs for families. Millions of Americans have lost their health insurance so that Republicans could fund tax breaks for rich people. ICE is sowing chaos and terror in our communities, resulting in the tragic killing of Renee Good in Minnesota.
Well, Maria, Jerome Too Late, Powell' he's the one that's made this political, Marshall replied, using Trump's nickname for Powell. He continued: You go back to the last presidential election, right before the election, he drops the interest rates. Do we even need a new federal building? It was budgeted under $2 billion. It's $2.5 billion. I think this president's sending a message to everybody that we're going to be looking out for fraud, waste, and abuse.
In the United States, the right to bear arms is an important aspect of law and culture, yet many people are surprised by just how powerful certain legal-to-own weapons can be. Beyond standard guns, a range of weapons often associated with military or high-risk use are lawful under federal or state regulations, provided specific conditions are met. The legality of these highly dangerous weapons is due to a mix of constitutional rights, public safety concerns, and decades of changing legislation.
"There is no moral justification for why orphans should have to pay their own way," Adams told NPR. "They are not in foster care by any fault of their own. And they certainly should not be asked to pay their own bill."
Trump has won some sizable settlements in cases legal scholars had dismissed as largely lacking in merit. But as media scholars, we believe prevailing in court is not necessarily his primary goal. Instead, Trump appears to use lawsuits as a strategic weapon designed to silence his enemies and critics - who sometimes seem to be one and the same in his eyes.
But Adams, 65, says he is hard at work. In an interview with Fox Business early on Monday morning, Adams announced that he was working on a cryptocurrency called New York City Coin. Speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Adams said the main reason he was launching this coin was to promote the use of cryptocurrency in New York City. It would also fund three separate initiatives: antisemitism awareness and education, "crypto education for New York City youth," and scholarship opportunities for the aforementioned crypto-educated youth.
