The ICE officer responsible for the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis has been identified as Jonathan Ross, the same officer who was dragged by a vehicle in June 2025. The incident occurred during a targeted operation when a woman allegedly attempted to run over law enforcement, prompting the officer to fire in self-defense. Conflicting accounts and video footage have emerged, with federal officials supporting the self-defense claim while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has publicly disputed it. The shooting has intensified tensions, as the city calls for ICE agents to leave while DHS defends the officer’s actions.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley proposed a motion to investigate the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by an ICE agent. The motion, however, failed to pass due to opposition from all Republican committee members. Pressley argued that the committee, responsible for overseeing federal law enforcement, needed to subpoena all related records and footage to uncover the truth, especially since video evidence appeared to contradict the Trump administration’s claims of self-defense. The ACLU also weighed in, stating that Congress should rein in ICE’s actions, given the context of escalating the Department of Homeland Security’s budget.

The Trump administration has taken the position that recording Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in public constitutes a form of violence and should be curtailed. Officials have publicly stated they will prosecute those who record ICE agents, conflating free speech with threats. This has resulted in actions such as strong-arming companies to remove apps tracking ICE activity and targeting protesters and journalists, particularly in Chicago under “Operation Midway Blitz.” A federal judge issued an injunction against the DHS, citing the government’s conduct as shocking. Legal experts and court precedents confirm the First Amendment protects the right to record police in public, yet the administration’s actions demonstrate a pattern of informal repression and an attempt to stifle public accountability.

NASA is considering bringing back the ISS crew early due to an unspecified medical issue, and it’s a situation that has a lot of people talking, and understandably so. This kind of news immediately sparks a cascade of questions and concerns, especially when the details are intentionally kept vague. The immediate thought that comes to mind is the gravity of the situation, given that the decision to prematurely end a mission is not taken lightly. The implication is that whatever is affecting the crew member is serious enough to warrant immediate attention back on Earth.
It’s a reality that even minor health problems can become amplified in space.… Continue reading
Salt Lake City shooting at church venue leaves two dead – local media report, and it’s a tragedy that has already cast a long shadow over the beginning of this year.

White House withdraws nomination of Ryan Baasch for FTC, official says, and frankly, the news barely registers a blip on the radar anymore. Honestly, what’s surprising is that anything actually *gets* withdrawn. It almost feels like a tactic at this point: float a name, gauge the reaction, and if it’s not a complete rubber stamp of approval, pull the plug. But the real game here isn’t the withdrawal itself; it’s what lurks beneath. You have to wonder what skeletons are hidden in the closet, or perhaps even worse, what the replacement candidate has in store.
The initial reaction, and it’s a perfectly understandable one, is cynicism.… Continue reading
Senators Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren have accused UnitedHealth of refusing to hand over internal records related to its policies on nursing home resident hospital transfers. The senators launched an inquiry last summer after reports about UnitedHealth’s bonus payments to nursing homes that limit hospitalizations, a move that saves the insurer money. Despite repeated requests, UnitedHealth has provided only brief answers and no internal documents, prompting the senators to renew their inquiry with heightened concern. This comes after reports of deaths related to the company’s nursing home care program, as families have filed lawsuits alleging that UnitedHealth delayed or denied necessary medical care to increase profits.
