Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is bumbling toward wrecking the U.S. economy, Timothy Noah wrote in a blistering analysis for The New Republic published on Tuesday — and one simple economic trend proves it.

The breaking point, he argued, was Bessent's bizarre speech at the World Economic Forum, where he pushed, among other things, nonsensical claims about housing and defended President Donald Trump's now-deescalating threats to invade Greenland by saying all the countries criticizing the administration are showing "hysteria."

The Department of Justice has reportedly declined to launch a civil rights investigation into the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti at the hands of Department of Homeland Security officers.

Internal records reviewed by MS NOW indicated that two DHS units would take responsibility for investigating their own department.

House Democrats gave President Donald Trump an ultimatum to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for the "killing spree" she has overseen.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and his top deputies issued a warning Tuesday to the 79-year-old president to hold Noem accountable for the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis and other abuses in the administration's immigration enforcement surge, reported Axios.

With the GOP facing an uphill battle heading into the 2026 midterm elections, President Donald Trump embarked to Iowa Tuesday to tout his administration’s accomplishments on the economy, an attempt to energize his base that one GOP strategist warned could end in disaster.

Trump handily won Iowa in the 2024 election by a 13.2 percentage point margin, surpassing both of his previous two victories in the state in 2020 and 2016. But in 2026, Trump is faced with a different dilemma, multiple GOP strategists warned.

Immigration agents questioned their mission in Minnesota after the shooting deaths of two citizen observers.

A Department of Homeland Security officer fatally shot 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti over the weekend in Minneapolis, which led to a shakeup in the enforcement surge's leadership. Journalist Ken Kippenstein obtained private group chat logs that showed federal agents deployed to the area believe the situation has spun out of control.

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino was ousted Monday amid the fallout from the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, but on Tuesday, journalist Peter Rothpletz warned that the Trump administration was “scapegoating” Bovino in an effort to shield both itself and Pretti’s killer from accountability.

“There is no true accountability until we know who killed Alex Pretti,” Rothpletz wrote in an analysis published in Zeteo. “The man was allowed to abscond from the Twin Cities and is now working in his official capacity, likely still armed, elsewhere.”
