Renée Good's mom wanted Trump to protect her family. Her daughter was killed by ICE. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The killing of Renée Good, who was gunned down on a Minneapolis street in January by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, was a tragedy. The fact that Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed her, has not faced any accountability for his actions—firing his gun wildly through the window of Good's vehicle as she tried to flee a confrontation that ICE officers had initiated and escalated—remains shameful. This week, that story gained a new, heartbreaking angle when Good's mother, Do
The collapse of farm exports is the most underappreciated story in American politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As President Donald Trump embarked on his plan to hike tariffs and escalate tensions with America's biggest trading partners, he offered an infamous bit of reassurance. "Trade wars are good," Trump tweeted on March 2, 2018, "and easy to win." More than eight and a half years later, both claims have proven to be untrue. And while much of the focus of Trump's trade wars has been on American manufacturing, it is actually American farmers who have been marched to the front lines. For them, Trump's t
The Trump administration paid federal workers $9.5 billion to skip work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Federal employees were paid $9.5 billion not to work during 2025, in large part because of the Trump administration's efforts to shrink the federal workforce and reduce spending.

In all, federal workers received paid administrative leave for about 21.6 million work days during 2025—u
Review: Ben Franklin, Frankenstein, and the wonders of electricity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tucked away along one of Minneapolis' picturesque lakes, the Bakken Museum is a quirky celebration of human creativity and ingenuity with a backstory that's nearly as fascinating. The museum is themed, quite loosely, around electricity. Exhibits include the history of electric-powered medical devices, such as prosthetics and pacemakers. Visitors can try out recreations of some of Ben Franklin's experiments with static electricity, though do heed warnings about how to avoid shocks. That real-worl
A Somali man with no serious criminal record is spending 9/11 in detention at Guantanamo Bay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adam Abdullah came to the United States as an asylum seeker and was legally working in the country when he was arrested by federal immigration agents in December. Abdullah is now being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba—in the military prison that was originally set up to detain suspected terrorists in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks. He's been sent there despite having a criminal record that consists of nothing more serious than a pair of parking tickets. "Obviously, there is a political
