This story contains violent and distressing images showing federal agents fatally shooting Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti. An image claiming to show Pretti being shot and falling was among the content that spread online following the shooting. Unlike the others, it was an authentic and unedited screengrab from a video showing the moment Pretti was shot. A stabilized version of the video circulated online, showing clearly the moment Pretti falls. "Federal Agent Secured Gun from Minn. Man before Fatal Shooting, Videos Show."
LOADING ERROR LOADINGDeputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was likely not expecting this level of heat from a “Fox & Friends” host. DHS later alleged in a statement that Pretti had “violently resisted” officers, despite eyewitness video showing otherwise. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller both baselessly labeled Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he set out to kill law enforcement officers. So, I’m just sort of wondering how you in the DOJ are viewing whether your colleagues may have gone too far?”A screenshot of Griff Jenkins grilling Todd Blanche on “Fox & Friends” Monday.

CBS News Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss has unveiled the network’s new plan to grow the audience amid efforts to broaden the network’s political appeal after a set of blunders. “I’m here to tell you that if we stick to that [focusing on broadcast] strategy, we’re toast,” Weiss said. But Weiss has been behind many of the recent decisions that led to a slump in viewership. While CBS has been last place among broadcast evening news programmes for decades, it continues to lose its market share under Weiss. On Wall Street, CBS parent Paramount Skydance is down 2.6 percent in midday trading.
President Trump has announced an executive order to allow victims of the Los Angeles wildfires to rebuild without dealing with “unnecessary, duplicative, or obstructive” permitting requirements. The order calls on the Homeland Security secretary and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to “preempt” state and local permitting authorities. A December review by The Times found that the permitting process in Altadena and Pacific Palisades was moving at a moderate rate compared with those after other major fires in California. A spokesperson for Newsom, Tara Gallegos, called Trump a “clueless idiot” for believing the federal government could issue local rebuilding permits. Newsom said that the federal government needed to release funding, not take over control of the permitting process.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten believes President Donald Trump scheduled his Tuesday rally in Iowa because his poll numbers on the economy and immigration are plummeting. “And now it is eating Donald Trump‘s presidency alive.”“You know, why is Donald Trump going into Iowa right now?” he continued. After federal immigration officers killed protestor Alex Pretti in Minnesota last weekend, Trump’s numbers on immigration have tanked. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted the weekend of Pretti’s death found Trump at a record low -14 approval rating on immigration. After federal agents killed a second Minnesota citizen last weekend, Trump's polling on immigration hit a record low -14.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper criticized President Donald Trump’s stance on the Second Amendment on Monday following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Cooper then explained that until Saturday’s shooting, Trump “hardly stopped talking about his love for the Second Amendment.” He then played video clips of Trump vowing to protect the Second Amendment during his campaign speeches. “I’m going to save your Second Amendment,” Trump said in one clip. Cooper then suggested that Trump only supports the Second Amendment depending on who is carrying the gun. “And now he supports the Second Amendment, just not all the time, depending on who’s carrying the gun and who gets killed,” Cooper said.
And because the clocks hop forward, sunsets begin an hour earlier than usual – as the summer sun reaches us, the sunsets will increasingly start later. Which begs the question of: when oh when will we have 8pm sunsets again? It depends on where you liveDifferent parts of the UK will get 8pm sunsets on different dates, depending on where they are placed in relation to the sun’s rays of light. AdvertisementThat means certain parts of the UK may get 8pm sunsets earlier than others.

The meeting comes as the Trump administration has showed its first signs of retreat in Minneapolis following Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, the second person killed by federal agents in the city this month. Trump did not threaten Noem’s or Lewandowski’s jobs during the meeting, the sources said. The White House declined to comment on the meeting, though an official reiterated the president’s support for Noem. In the wake of Saturday’s shooting, administration officials shared a torrent of claims that have either been contradicted by video footage or unsupported by any evidence presented so far. The Justice Department has not opened a civil rights investigation, and a crisis coordination center was erected in Minneapolis to investigate protesters.
