BREAKING: The ICE agent who murdered the unarmed Minnesota mother, Renee Good, has quietly returned to active duty in another state.
Three months after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good in the arm, breast, and head as she tried to drive away — muttering "f@ckng b#tch" on his own cellphone video as her car crashed into a parked vehicle with her dying inside — he is back on active duty in a different state.
Ross faced no criminal charges and only three days of administrative leave. He was quietly relocated out of Minnesota and went back to work.
Good, 37, was an unarmed mother who was shot on January 7th during a Minneapolis ICE operation. Seventeen days later, VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot dead in the same operation. The killings sparked global outrage, mass protests, and ultimately consumed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's career.
Now, the agent responsible for Renee Good's death is performing administrative and investigative duties.
The accountability process has been frozen — deliberately, according to senior DHS officials — because ICE's internal affairs division cannot begin its own review until the FBI investigation concludes. And the FBI investigation has stalled. One senior ICE official told the PunchUp Substack blog that the FBI needs to "sh*t or get off the pot." "It's just hanging out there," they said.
The FBI probe has been clouded by serious misconduct allegations from the beginning. FBI supervisor Tracee Mergen resigned from the Minneapolis field office in January after saying she was pressured to reclassify her civil rights inquiry into Ross as an investigation of an alleged assault on a federal officer by Good herself. Whistleblowers told Senators Whitehouse and Durbin that FBI Director Kash Patel personally directed agents to reframe warrant language to portray the dead woman as a suspect rather than a victim.
Multiple senior DHS officials told PunchUp that the decision to freeze out Minnesota state investigators from the crime scene was directed by the White House. Career officials who believed a joint federal-state review would produce a more credible outcome were never consulted.
When outgoing ICE Director Todd Lyons was asked directly by a House subcommittee whether he would apologize to Good's family for how she was publicly characterized, he said he'd speak to them privately but wouldn't comment on an active investigation. Hours later, he announced his resignation.
Somehow Jonathan Ross remains on active duty — and Renee Good remains dead, a victim of the Trump administration’s malfeasance.
Please like and share this post if you believe that Jonathan Ross should be in prison by this point, not back on the job.

Finally, an explanation that cuts through the noise: California isn't actually taxing its residents at the highest rates in the country, despite what you've heard. This is a perfect example to set the record straight. Stay informed. #DemsUnited

Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogenic fuel and oxidizer on a V3 vehicle for the first time. While the 10-engine static fire ended early due to a ground-side issue, we saw successful startup on all installed Raptor 3 engines. Next up: preparing the booster for a 33-engine static fire

Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems
Result: chatGPT is the perfect trap.
Look at the red bars.
Students with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions.
The basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the "tutor" version did even more.
Now look at the gray bars. That's the exam.
No AI allowed.
The ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology.
And the fancy tutor version?
No better than working alone.
The researchers called AI a "crutch."
When they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?”
The kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning.
They were confidently wrong.
This is the AI trap in education.
Outsourcing your thinking.
Of course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now
Let’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders
