U.S. citizen Carlos Jimenez was shot by ICE in Ontario after warning officers about children gathering at a nearby school bus stop. His lawyers claim he was shot from behind while trying to leave; federal officials say he reversed his car toward officers in a threatening manner. The incident marks the second ICE shooting in Southern California in a little over a week, intensifying scrutiny over aggressive federal enforcement in residential communities. The shooting is the second in a little more than a week in Southern California. Last week, ICE officers fired at a man in South Los Angeles after agents boxed his car in. Carlitos Ricardo Parias was shot in the elbow, and a deputy marshal was hit by what authorities said was a ricocheted bullet. They accused Parias of trying to ram the agents' cars. In September and October, there were two shootings, by ICE and Border Patrol, into vehicles in Chicago, one fatal.
President Donald Trump has lashed out at yet another late-night TV show host for failing to fall at his feet in groveling praise. "Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to perform' live in the history of television," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. "In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise." "Trump thinks that if you say something mean about him, that's treason," Meyers added. Almost proving his point, Trump raged against Meyers, suggesting that being "anti-Trump" might actually be against the law. "Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!"

"In a bitterly divided country, pessimism and cynicism reign supreme: Two-thirds of Americans say it is at least probably true that the government often deliberately lies to the people. That distrust cuts across partisan lines: Strong majorities of Donald Trump voters (64 percent) and Kamala Harris voters (70 percent) agree. Nearly half of Americans, 49 percent, say that the best times of the country are behind them, according to the Politico Poll. "That's greater than the 41 percent who said the best times lie ahead, underscoring a pervasive sense of unease about both individuals' own futures and the national direction."

Trump has habitually attacked the news media in rallies, responses to reporters' questions, and many hundreds of tweets. He has repeatedly called the press "fake news," "the enemy of the people," "dishonest," "corrupt," "low life reporters," "bad people," "human scum" and "some of the worst human beings you'll ever meet."
