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.
At a press conference at City Hall on Monday evening, City Council Speaker Julie Menin told reporters that the employee went in for a "routine court appointment" in Bethpage that ended with the man's arrest by federal immigration officials. Menin said the employee was given one phone call, which he used to contact the Council's human-resources department, informing them of his arrest. Though he was initially detained in Bethpage, he has since been moved to the detention center on Varick Street in Manhattan.
The truth about this money: It is invested with some of the worst actors engineering the current takeover. That includes private equity firms, venture capitalists, and asset managers-the most powerful corporations in the world and the billionaires that run them. Many of these people are actively supporting the Trump administration; most are doing little to nothing to oppose it. And all oversee millions, if not billions, of dollars in worker and community capital.
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.
Owendoff has had a sizable sway over the city's decision-making for the past 15 years. Through his role as a commercial real estate broker, he's involved in several political and business groups. During Sam Adams's tenure as mayor, Adams appointed Owendoff to a panel focused on planning the future of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Owendoff was forced out of a real estate job in 2011 for posting hundreds of caustic comments on the Oregonian website.
In President Donald Trump's second term, everything is content. Videos of immigration raids are shared widely on X by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), conspiracy theories dictate policy, and prominent right-wing podcasters and influencers have occupied high-level government roles. The second Trump administration is, to put it bluntly, very online.
In the summer of 2021, a small group of about 12 individuals, including some health care workers, elected officials, and local community activists, in the deep-red state of Wyoming-which didn't have a single abortion clinic at the time-began planning to open a new clinic in the college town of Casper. This was at the same time that most abortion clinics in red states, seeing the writing on the wall, had begun planning to close
Yet, Monday came, and while gold and silver went vertical, equities stayed calm and the dollar barely drifted. To economist Tyler Cowen, the renowned libertarian from George Mason University and author of the influential Marginal Revolution blog, this lack of market panic is the most revealing part of the drama. It isn't that investors trust the administration's motives; it's that they have already accepted the "ugly little truth" that the Federal Reserve's independence is a relic of a bygone era.
LAWRENCE O`DONNELL, MS NOW HOST: Good evening, Rachel. We have both senators from Arizona tonight, Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego. And I should note, Senator Kelly striking back at Pete Hegseth today, filing a lawsuit against Hegseth today, making Hegseth a defendant now on their issue. And Senator Elizabeth Warren`s going to join us. And she was already going to join us. We`re already had that arranged before she got her very first phone call ever today from guess who?
Psychologists suggest that men-particularly white men, who historically did not face these challenges-are profoundly maladjusted to the highly multicultural society we live in today. Recent statistics suggest that white adult males are not doing well with the many challenging societal perils. Their frustration was on display during the last presidential election, with a significant shift in how young white men voted.
This whole "talk about politics on the internet" as if it makes a difference thing? We're still doing this? We think the things we say on the internet matter to literally anyone? We think if we craft the perfect anti-Trump argument, maybe one person will change their mind? I mean listen, go ahead. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. I'm just saying it's worse than internet porn.
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. AMY GOODMAN: We begin today's show looking at growing resistance to the Trump administration's mass immigration raids and federal agents' escalating violence nationwide. Protests are continuing over ICE agent Jonathan Ross's fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother of three, poet Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. On Monday, dozens of federal agents wearing tactical gear and masks fired pepper balls and tear gas at a crowd of protesters in Minneapolis who shouted "Shame! Shame! Shame!" and "Get the f- out!" at the agents.
North Carolina lawmakers once again will try to pass statewide housing reform in a Tar Heel State push to catch up with several of its own cities. Several bills on the agenda this session prioritize housing affordability. They would preempt local control on parking, housing types, and permitting timelines. The measures would apply to all of North Carolina's districts the same types of reforms that cities such as Raleigh and Durham have already codified.
They are the type of questions that we need to heed... We are at a moment of time when people have a lot on their mind. They worry about the price of electricity. They wonder what this big data center will mean to their water supply. They look at this technology and ask, what will it mean for the jobs of the future? What will it mean for the adults of today?
The DOJ's final report, based on an exhaustive FBI investigation, concluded that Wilson had acted reasonably and that his "actions do not constitute prosecutable violations" of federal law. The Justice Department found that Brown had reached into a police SUV and punched and grabbed Wilson. When Wilson drew his gun, Brown "grabbed the weapon and struggled with Wilson to gain control of it."
The plan, when I went to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Career Expo in Texas last August, was to learn what it was like to apply to be an ICE agent. Who wouldn't be curious? The event promised on-the-spot hiring for would-be deportation officers: Walk in unemployed, walk out with a sweet $50k signing bonus, a retirement account, and a license to brutalize the country's most vulnerable residents without consequence-all while wrapped in the warm glow of patriotism.
When a president says his authority is limited only by his own morality, the Constitution has already been violated. The oath of office binds the president to law, not conscience, not instinct, not personal judgment. Claiming otherwise is a declaration that constitutional limits are optional. This is not rhetoric. It is an imminent danger. A president who believes only he restrains himself is asserting personal sovereignty. That is the definition of autocracy.
A similar proposal in Utah would block lawsuits over climate-warming emissions, unless a court finds the defendant violated a statute or permit. I think anyone in America who breathes the air around them and also believes in corporate accountability ought to be very concerned about these types of end-runs against accountability, said Jay Inslee, the former governor of Washington state and a former trial attorney.
"At first it was a message that you better fall in line or you're going to get fired," said Jeremiah Johnson, a former immigration judge who worked in San Francisco's court until his termination last year. Now, "it's a message that your court is going to be closed."
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court is hearing arguments Tuesday over state laws barring transgender girls and women from playing on school athletic teams. Lower courts ruled for the transgender athletes in Idaho and West Virginia who challenged the state bans, but the conservative-dominated Supreme Court might not follow suit. In just the past year, the justices ruled in favor state bans on gender-affirming care for transgender youths and allowed multiple restrictions on transgender people to be enforced.
A cyclist was fatally struck Monday morning on the SMART train tracks in Santa Rosa. The collision happened near Piner Road in Santa Rosa around 10:26 am, and the train was traveling south from Windsor. [Chronicle] San Francisco's Homeward Bound program, which offers free bus and plane tickets to homeless individuals who'd like to return to cities where they came from, appeared to lose some traction in 2025, with fewer people taking the city up on the offer. [Chronicle]
Remember, we're beefing up ICE 10,000 more agents, Warner said. They are not getting the traditional five months training. Literally, Jake, the training for the ICE agents now is 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump is the 47th president. He also used this figure on Thursday, when talking to a liberal commentator, and on Monday, on CNBC's Squawk Box. Other lawmakers, social media posts and journalists repeated the same line in the days after ICE officer Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that the probe relates to renovations to the Federal Reserve's headquarters in Washington, D.C., and whether Powell lied to Congress about them. Powell responded by releasing a video saying the renovations and his testimony to Congress are pretexts to hide the real reason, which is that the chairman has resisted President Donald Trump's pleas to dramatically slash interest rates to try to boost economic activity.
