Josh opens the show by breaking down the shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent shot a "queer activist" during an enforcement operation. He explains why the country is once again at a tipping point—and why Minnesota’s leaders helped create the very conditions now exploding around them. Josh also calls out the escalating attacks on ICE nationwide and makes the case for why they must end.

Senate Advances Resolution To Limit Trump’s Attacks On Venezuela

The GOP-led Senate has voted to advance a resolution that would limit President Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks against Venezuela. Five Republican senators joined Democrats to back war powers legislation that would force the president to seek approval from Congress before directing new military operations in Venezuela. The bipartisan vote came less than a week after the U.S. raid to capture Nicolas Maduro. The test vote ensures a later vote for final passage. But it’s unlikely to become law because Donald Trump would have to sign it if it were to pass the House.

U.S. To Exit 66 International Organizations

The Trump administration is moving to withdraw the United States from dozens of international organizations, signaling a further retreat from global cooperation. President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. to leave 66 international bodies, including the United Nations’ population agency and a key U.N. treaty that governs international climate negotiations. The order follows a comprehensive review of U.S. participation and funding for global organizations, many of which the administration says promote initiatives it considers politically biased, including diversity, labor, and climate-related programs. Officials said the withdrawals reflect the administration’s focus on prioritizing American interests in global affairs.

Wisconsin teen expected to enter plea deal in plot to kill Trump

An 18-year-old Wisconsin man accused of killing his parents and using their money to fund a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump is expected to enter a plea deal Thursday. Nikita Casap faces multiple charges, including two counts of homicide, theft, and concealing a corpse. Prosecutors say he shot his mother, Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer, at their Waukesha home in February, then stole cash, jewelry, passports, firearms, and the family dog before fleeing the state. Federal authorities allege Casap carried out the murders to obtain the financial means to attack Trump and the U.S. government. Court records show he purchased explosives and a drone and discussed his plans with others, including a Russian-speaking individual. Casap was arrested in Kansas on Feb. 28 after a nationwide search. Terms of the plea agreement have not been made public. A trial had been scheduled to begin March 2.

Woman Killed By ICE In MN Identified As Renee Good

The woman shot and killed Tuesday by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good.

New U.S. Dietary Guidelines Urge Less Processed Food, More Whole Foods

Federal health officials have released the 2025–2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, calling on people to cut back on highly processed foods and added sugars while eating more whole foods and protein. The guidelines, updated every five years as required by law, also advise limiting saturated fats and avoiding prepared or packaged foods that are heavily processed. “These recommendations provide the foundation for federal nutrition programs and policies, helping Americans make healthier food choices,” officials said. Research shows that most Americans currently fall short of following the dietary guidance, which aims to promote long-term health and reduce the risk of diet-related diseases.

Trump looks to ban large investors from buying houses

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he wants to block large institutional investors from buying houses, saying that a ban would make it easier for younger families to buy their first homes. Trump — who has been under pressure to address voters' concerns about affordability ahead of November midterm elections — is tapping into long-standing fears that corporate ownership of homes has pushed out traditional buyers, forcing more people to rent. But his plan does little to address the overarching challenges for the housing market: a national shortage of home construction and prices that have climbed faster than incomes. “People live in homes, not corporations,” Trump said in a social media post as he called on Congress to codify his ban. Last month, Trump pledged in a prime-time address that he would roll out “some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history” this year. The president said he would discuss housing and affordability in more detail in two weeks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, an event known for attracting CEOs, wealthy financiers and academics with a global focus who often run contrary to Trump's populist rhetoric. The president has in the past floated extending the 30-year mortgage to 50 years in order to lower monthly payments, an idea that has been criticized because it would reduce people's ability to create housing equity and increase their own wealth. With Trump's proposed ban, the challenge is that institutional investors are only a tiny sliver of homebuyers, accounting for just 1% of total single-family housing stock, according to an August analysis by researchers at the American Enterprise Institute, a center-right think tank based in Washington. The analysis defined these investors as owning 100 or more properties. The analysis notes that institutional ownership varies nationwide, reaching 4.2% in Atlanta, 2.6% in Dallas and 2.2% in Houston. But these investors tend not to dominate neighborhoods, even if they're generally more concentrated in lower- and middle-income communities. Some Democrats have called for crackdowns on corporate ownership of homes, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., told reporters Wednesday that the Trump administration could cause housing prices to rise by allowing the real estate companies Compass and Anywhere to merge. “But he’s feeling the heat because the American people want to see us lower the cost of housing and it is Democrats who are committed to getting that done,” Warren said. The Senate in October passed a bipartisan bill sponsored by Warren that would create incentives for local governments to streamline zoning regulations, among other policies, to increase the supply of housing, but the measure has been held up in the Republican-majority House. The larger challenge has been a shortage of new construction, such that Goldman Sachs in October estimated in October that 3 million to 4 million additional homes beyond the normal construction levels would need to be built to relieve cost pressures. Mortgage rates also climbed in the inflation that followed the coronavirus pandemic, causing monthly payments on home loans to increase dramatically faster than incomes. Still, Trump said last month that an increase in new construction would create a dilemma as it could cause existing home values to drop and that would come at the expense of many existing homeowners' net worth. “I don’t want to knock those numbers down because I want them to continue to have a big value for their house,” Trump said. “At the same time, I want to make it possible for young people out there and other people to buy housing. In a way, they’re at conflict.”
