Good, 37, in Minneapolis, an image of the ICE agent who took the shots began to circulate. While the agent wore a mask in eyewitness videos taken of the event, he appeared to be unmasked in many of the social media posts. That image appeared to have been generated by xAI's generative AI chatbot, Grok, in response to users on X asking the bot to "unmask" the agent.

 Rep. Robin Kelly plans to file Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem over the Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good—accountability reaching the top.

 The Supreme Court did not rule Friday on the legality of broad tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, leaving markets still awaiting a decision poised to have far-reaching impacts on trade policy and the U.S. fiscal situation. There had been speculation that the tariff ruling would be issued on Friday, but the Supreme Court released just one opinion for the day, and it was unrelated to tariffs .

 Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for a fair investigation into the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, after Minnesota state investigators said the FBI blocked them from evidence. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the state doesn't have jurisdiction.

 

 🚨 NEW FOOTAGE — CNN RELEASES ANOTHER ANGLE IN THE MINNEAPOLIS ICE INCIDENT 🚨 CNN has obtained and aired a new camera angle from the incident involving Renee Good — and it adds important context to the timeline. According to CNN’s narration, the video shows Good’s maroon Honda Pilot sitting sideways in the street for roughly three minutes before shots were fired. CNN describes the sequence this way: “Video shows Renee Good’s maroon Honda Pilot entering from the right there. Then, 20 seconds later, someone gets out on the passenger side.” The footage then shows the vehicle turning and pulling perpendicular across the street, appearing to block the roadway. CNN notes they do not identify who exited the passenger side or why. Observers familiar with the footage have stated that the person who exited the vehicle is Good’s wife, and that she appears to be recording the scene. That interpretation matters, because it reframes the event from a sudden panic moment into something more deli...

 National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNBC on Friday the White House could deploy alternative measures if the Supreme Court rules against President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs. "Our expectation is that we’re going to win, and if we don’t win, then we know that we’ve got other tools that we could use that get us to the same place,” he said.

 FBI Director Kash Patel has - on at least two occasions - ordered the elite security detail protecting his girlfriend, 27-year-old country music performer Alexis Wilkins, to escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville, according to three people with knowledge of the incidents who spoke with MS NOW.  The Agents assigned to protect Wilkins, members of a SWAT Unit usually assigned to the FBI Field Office in Nashville, objected to diverting from their assignment, but Patel insisted they do so at Wilkins’ request and, in one case, called the leader of Wilkins’ security detail and yelled at him to do so, sparking increasing concerns of a misuse of tactical resources within the FBI.

Zohran Mamdani’s win is a template for Democratic revival The New York mayor-elect married socioeconomic policies and message discipline to moral clarity. Democrats should apply the same principles going forward Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race is more than an improbable municipal election win; it is a template for Democratic revival, one that can marry socioeconomic policies and message discipline to unambiguous moral clarity. I first interviewed Mamdani shortly after Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris left the Democratic Party in tatters. Already a declared candidate, the unabashed democratic socialist spoke with hyperfixation on affordability and the need to reorient the Democratic Party away from Wall Street and toward the working class. I interviewed Mamdani multiple times over the next year, including amid a surge of Islamophobic attacks in the final weeks of the mayoral campaign.

As the Senate advances a plan to end the government shutdown, what happens now? As the ongoing government shutdown was poised to begin in late September, three members of the Senate Democratic conference — Nevada’s Catherine Cortez Masto, Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman and Maine’s Angus King — broke party ranks and voted with the Republican majority to prevent the breakdown. That gave GOP leaders 55 votes, five short of the 60-vote threshold. At that point, the Republican plan, in a nutshell, could be summarized in one word: wait.

BREAKING: The U.S. government has shut down for the first time since 2019 with no immediate path to reopen it.

After a manhunt lasting more than 24 hours, authorities have taken an individual into custody in connection with the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university event on Wednesday. The person in custody is Tyler Robinson, 22, from Utah, five law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News. President Donald Trump initially broke the news during a segment on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning. “Can I always say ‘I think’ just to protect us all — and so Fox doesn’t get sued, we all don’t get sued and everything else — but I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody. Everyone did a great job,” he said. From the beginning, authorities had a number of leads to go on. On Thursday morning, the FBI announced that law enforcement had recovered a high-powered bolt action rifle in a wooded area near campus. The spokesperson for the bureau also said it had video footage of the shooter, a shoe impression and imprints of ...

The U.K.’s annual inflation rate hit a hotter-than-expected 3.8%in July, according to data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had anticipated inflation would reach 3.7% in the twelve months to July, after it picked up to 3.6% in June, exceeding forecasts. July core inflation, which excludes more volatile energy, food, alcohol and tobacco prices, rose by an annual 3.8%, up from 3.7% in the twelve months to June. The latest data comes after the Bank of England earlier this month voted by a fine margin to cut interest rates from 4.25% to 4%, as the central bank resumed what it describes as a “gradual and careful” approach to monetary easing. While the BOE was widely expected to trim rates by 25 basis points at the time, traders and economists were keen to see the breakdown of support for the move. In the end, policymakers had to vote twice on the rate cut decision, and a majority of 5-4 opted to cut. BOE policy committee m...

Trump administration paid federal employees billions not to work, report says DOGE wasted $21.7 billion in taxpayer funds, according to a new report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Aug. 1, 2025, 2:42 PM CDT By Ja'han Jones Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has spent nearly $22 billion in taxpayer funds on employees who’ve been paid not to work, according to a new Senate report. Compiled by Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s staff on the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the report accuses DOGE — the entity Trump and Elon Musk ginned up to gut federal programs under the guise of “efficiency” — of generating “at least $21.7 billion in waste across the federal government” in just the first half of this year. It notes that this total is more than twice the amount of the Trump-backed rescissions package Republicans recently passed to codify DOGE-backed cuts to federal programs. The report reads: The Department of Gov...

‘Explosive’ conservative non-doctor turbocharging RFK Jr’s healthcare coup 05:52 July 31, 2025, 4:18 PM CDT By Brandy Zadrozny, Senior Reporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants Americans to turn over their health data to tech companies and the government. It’s the very thing — prior to his takeover of the nation’s public health — that he’d been warning his followers to fear. “It’s connecting all the things in your life, anything that you call smart, that could be your Apple Watch, it could be your telephone, your GPS on your telephone, the GPS on your car, your garage door opener,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on his podcast in 2020, produced by his then-employer, the anti-vaccine nonprofit Children’s Health Defense. “They have so much data now that they have access to … They’re going to take billions of terabytes of data and then they’re gonna do analytics on them and monetize them and sell them back to companies that want to turn you into a permanent consumer.” Kennedy spent years warnin...
