This morning on Fox & Friends Sunday Charlie Hurt blamed Alex Pretti for his own death. Pretti had not removed his weapon from its holster. He did not brandish it or threaten an agent at any point. Pretti was also killed by a CBP agent, not an ICE agent.

50,000 Minnesotans turned out to peacefully protest ICE’s actions in 10 below weather and there were no problems.

The next day a whole team of federal agents couldn’t handle one citizen with a cell phone. They shot him.

ICE needs to leave.

Alex Pretti, the man fatally shot by Border Patrol Saturday, was a local intensive care nurse dedicated to caring for veterans.

“Alex wanted to make a difference in this world,” Pretti’s family said in a statement shared with The Post.

Alex Pretti was kind and didn’t often discuss politics, friends and colleagues said. His family sharply disputed the Trump administration’s version of the shooting.

Current DOJ use of force policy states that even if the ICE officer did what Trump, Vance and others are claiming he did, that's still not allowed. From the policy here: www.justice.gov/archives/ag/...

President Trump has pointed to the cost of Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal bundle, which is roughly 25% less expensive this year than it was last year, as an example of the economy experiencing a “golden age.”

But the 2025 Thanksgiving bundle is also smaller than the 2024 package.
Trump touts cost of Walmart's Thanksgiving meal to vindicate his policies — ignoring a key detail
Since Tuesday's elections, Trump has repeatedly boasted that Walmart's Thanksgiving meal bundle is cheaper than it was under President Joe Biden. But there's also less food in it.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

While this law transformed our democracy, voting rights remain under attack.

Just look at what's happening in Texas.

It's never been more important to exercise your rights and your voice at the polls.

As John Lewis said, voting is "the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union."

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, in the face of relentless attacks on our democracy, we must continue to fight to protect the right to vote.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is meant to be free from politics so they can focus on their mission- keeping Americans safe from everything from lead paint to pool drains.

The President is undermining this crucial work - and the Court is letting it happen.
