Three stories.Three minutes.Let’s go.
Today’s Snark Factor 3 in 3 is up top in the audio player.
We start with calls for an investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement protest in Minneapolis. According to OPB, the fight isn’t just about what happened — it’s about who gets to explain it. Local officials claim they lack access to the evidence. Federal agencies say they’re handling it internally. Lawmakers say that’s not acceptable.
Everybody wants an investigation.Nobody agrees on who counts as credible anymore.
Then we move to Los Angeles, where ABC7 reports a man has been charged with stealing more than $23 million meant to help the homeless — money prosecutors say instead went to luxury cars, vacations, private jets, and multimillion-dollar homes. The charity was called Abundant Blessings, which feels accurate… just not for the people it was supposed to serve.
We end lighter. The New York Post consults relationship experts who advise couples to do five things every weekend to keep their relationship thriving: foster healthy independence, talk honestly, spend quality time together, create small rituals, and show appreciation. After watching agencies argue over credibility and cities lose track of millions, it’s oddly comforting to hear that stability might still come from something manageable.
A walk.A conversation.A plan you both agree on.
Apparently, the hardest investigation in America right now is still figuring out why your partner is annoyed — without access to evidence.
