Renee Good's Killing Has Unleashed MAGA's Misogyny

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.

DOGE hiring and non-hiring data

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.

These Dangerous Weapons Are Surprisingly Legal in America

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.
