Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

If you see your rep here, call them up and tell them what you think of them.
They voted for murder and fascism.

While ICE is killing innocent people, teargassing babies and pastors, and kidnapping our neighbors to ship them off to foreign torture prisons, seven House Democrats just voted with the GOP to give the regime’s secret police even more funding.

America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.
I’m surprised you don’t use ai answer engines in research you currently do with Google

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.
It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

From the mountains of Western Maryland to Baltimore to the Eastern Shore, Maryland relies on public broadcasting.
Let’s call it for what it is: Republicans didn’t like the truth being reported, so they silenced those who speak it.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has distributed federal funds to both PBS and NPR for decades, announced Friday that it's shutting down.
The news comes after President Donald Trump recently clawed back more than a billion dollars of funding for public broadcasting.

Why are they they fighting Zohran harder than they’re fighting Trump
Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House.
Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party:

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
