Just as police can be charged for reckless unprofessional conduct that results in needless death, so can ICE agents. The city of Minneapolis/state of Minnesota needs to arrest and charge the ICE agent for murder of a US citizen. It’s not a close call.

It gets worse.
HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.
The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

The killing of a 60 Minutes story critical of the Trump administration reinforces how awful an acquisition of Warner Bros would be by Paramount, while a Netflix acquisition would be a disaster for movie theaters.

If I didn’t run a story because of a no comment or ignored request, I’d have have published a lot fewer stories. Weiss’ standard is absurd.
Bari Weiss this morning on the 60 Minutes segment: "We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera."
Of course, most journalists know that oftentimes people who are the subject of negative reporting don't want to speak on camera or on the record.

There are lots of predictions that the FOMC will be uber dovish in 2026 under a new chairman but that’s really not how the 19-person committee operates. The data will matter more than the FOMC members and the inflation hawks are not going away.

If this is true, just require immediate disclosure of congressional trades and allow everyone to make these returns
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
