Donald Trump criticizes DHS killings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good: ‘Should have not happened’
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good by Department of Homeland Security officers in Minneapolis “should have not happened,” offering his most direct acknowledgment yet that two of the most consequential deaths of his second term were unjustified, even as he continued to defend the broader aims of his immigration crackdown.

The clip, posted by Now This Impact, shows thousands of protestors standing outside hotels where ICE and Border Patrol agents are staying and singing, “It’s okay to change your mind/Show us your courage, leave this behind/It’s okay to change your mind/Then you can join us, join us here anytime.” The song was written by Minneapolis community song circle leader Annie Schlaefer.

Minneapolis residents continue to inspire the nation with their virulent yet peaceful opposition to the ICE occupation of their city. The intensity of the fury over the agents’ violent tactics – which resulted in the deaths of at least two peaceful protestors – has backed the administration into a corner, spurring even many Republicans to speak out against the aggressive operation.
Out MSNow host Rachel Maddow praised the Minneapolis movement as “a political shift” driven by “the people” after Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino was demoted to his old job as Border Patrol sector chief in El Centro, California.
“It starts with the people,” Maddow said. “It starts with the protests that we have seen. Principled, peaceful, relentless protest – it works. That is the source of this shift: peaceful, powerful, relentless, principled protest works. It uses democratic means to save democracy. That has what has made all of this political shifting happen.”
The administration has announced a reduction in the number of ICE agents in the city, but residents have made it clear they will continue to protest until the entire operation is over.

Game Description
“The Land Forsaken by Gods” is a survival game that incorporates elements of “Diablo”.
On this despairing land abandoned by the gods, darkness is gradually devouring the light. Distorted monsters run wild everywhere, and the night has become a forbidden zone for life. Ancient curses and indescribable evil stir beneath the earth, and only a handful of survivors dare to resist the shackles of fate.
This is your battlefield and your destiny. Warrior, how will you write your own chapter?
Game Features
- Class Selection: Find Your Path – From the powerful warrior to the mysterious warlock, from the necromancer who controls the undead to the agile hunter like a shadow, each class has a unique skill tree and growth path. Choose the class that suits you best according to your playing style and unlock higher – order combat potential, making your legend distinct.
- Tidal Waves of Monsters: Endless Crisis – Facing the oncoming tidal waves of monsters, there is no chance to catch your breath! Every battle is full of challenges – from ordinary enemies to powerful elites, and then to the earth – shattering bosses. Each opponent will test your operation, strategy, and on – the – spot reaction. Only the toughest warriors can survive.
- Survive the Night – In “The Land Forsaken by Gods”, the most dangerous thing is not the wandering monsters, but the darkness after nightfall. The darkness will gradually consume your sanity, and the distorted monsters lurking in the dark will gradually reveal themselves and show their fangs. No matter how brave the survivors are, they can’t survive in the darkness after losing their sanity. Lighting a torch will be the only way for you to survive!
- Rich Build Variety – One of the core features of “The Land Forsaken by Gods” is its extremely high degree of freedom. In addition to the exclusive talent tree for each class, you can use any weapon and starting skills. A large number of unique skills and skill expansion effects allow you to have a different combat experience in each game. Similar to the skill runes in “Path of Exile”, they can be freely inlaid on skills to change their effects, making the richness and combination of builds an endless possibility.
- Explore the Hidden Secrets of the World – This cursed land hides countless secrets: forgotten ancient ruins, dangerous underground labyrinths, and mysterious documents scattered everywhere. Every exploration may uncover the truth of a lost civilization, but it may also come at an irreparable cost. Only the brave can pierce the fog and discover the hidden truth.
- Deep – Dive Equipment System – “The Land Forsaken by Gods” has a truly “Diablo” – like equipment system. Loot is randomly generated, with ever – changing attributes. You can obtain it from monsters, bosses, or merchants, and you can even use the gambling function to get some powerful equipment. There are also hundreds of powerful legendary items waiting for you to discover in the game.

Everything we know about Heated Rivalry season 2 from release date to plot
Is anyone else still at the cottage? Yeah, us too. The Heated Rivalry hype doesn’t seem to be going anywhere soon, even if there’s a pretty long wait in store for season two.
After an initial small-time release as a Crave original in November, the super sexy queer ice hockey drama went supernova. It’s now on HBO, the home of The Last of Us and Severance, and reached UK shores in January, on Sky.
Online, the response has been rampant. Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, who play the red hot rivals in question Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, are now red hot Hollywood property too (in January, they presented at the Golden Globes). Even Robbie GK and François Arnaud, who play side characters (and lovers) Kip Grady and Scott Hunter, have become the internet’s fixation.
Now that season one has wrapped up, it’s time to start dreaming of season two. Here’s everything we know about Heated Rivalry’s upcoming second season.
When is Heated Rivalry season two coming out?
First things first, we know that a second season of Heated Rivalry is on the way; Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams confirmed as such with a sweet viral video back in December. In a recent interview with Deadline, HBO’s boss Casey Bloys appeared to confirm that season three has been greenlit, too.
As for when season two might arrive, there’s good and bad news. The good news is that we’re not talking A Euphoria or Stranger Things wait time. The bad news is that there will still be a wait, of roughly 18 months or so.
In December, the show’s director Jacob Tierney confirmed that season two won’t be released in 2026, as he hadn’t even started writing it at the time of season one dropping. He teased that while it would be released “a little bit later” it is “still going to be soon”.
In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Tierney put a time frame on season two, saying that fans can expect it in spring 2027.
“As much as I appreciate how rabid and interested people are at this point, the first season worked because I trusted my gut with this, and I’m going to do that again,” he said.
During an interview on Today, Storrie also suggested that season two will begin filming this summer, which was backed up by Bloys in his recent Deadline interview.
What will Heated Rivalry season two be about?
Heated Rivalry season one ended with Ilya and Shane turning their risqué post-rink rendezvous into something serious during a weekend at Shane’s cottage. While there, they confessed their love for one another, and began slowly referring to one another as their boyfriend. While at the cottage, Shane’s father also caught them kissing, leading to them coming out to Shane’s parents.
Heated Rivalry is the second book in author Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novel series, while season two of the show is set to focus on the sixth book: The Long Game.
Released in 2022, The Long Game returns to Shane and Ilya’s love story ten years later. While they are still together, the pro sportsmen are still publicly closeted.
“Ten years. That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family… from the league,” reads an official synopsis of the book.
“If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?”
It sounds like season two will tug even harder on the heartstrings than season one.
In December, Tierney told Entertainment Weekly that while it won’t “be a shock” for fans to know that season two will focus on Ilya and Shane, there will be other characters thrown into the mix.
In his Los Angeles Times interview, Tierney said that there will be “diversions” into other characters’ plots in season two.
“Just like you can’t tell the story without Scott Hunter, you can’t really tell the story without Troy Barrett,” he said.
Troy Barrett is a character in book five of Reid’s series, Role Model, who didn’t appear in season one of the show. He’s another pro hockey player with a queer crush, this time on social media manager, Harris Drover.
As far as Storrie is concerned, season two is an exciting prospect.
“I’m interested to play at the dynamic that develops in The Long Game, which is, now that we’ve established we’re together and we’re choosing this, what does that look like to consistently choose through new obstacles, new self-realizations?” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“We’re in the real leagues now, and it’s cool to watch these people that have been in this heightened reality for so long. The other shoe drops that deepens the love, but that also tests some of their personal limits.”
Who will star in Heated Rivalry season two?
Well, if Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are there, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams will be too.
It remains to be seen whether Kip and Scott, and thus Robbie GK and François Arnaud, will appear in season two. That said, there might have been a slight hint in season one: viewers saw a brief look at bartender Kyle Swift, played by Matthew Finlan, who has a crush on Kip in Reid’s 2020 book Common Goal. If he were to play a role in season two, it’s possible that Kip (and Robbie) will appear, too. Kyle also goes on to have a relationship with older hockey player Eric Bennett, though the role of Eric has not yet been cast.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly recently, Finlan said that he knows “just as much as you — or just as little, let’s put it that way” on whether he will appear in season two.
An actor is also yet to be cast in the role of Troy or Harris, if they were to appear in season two.
Tierney recently said that while there has certainly been interest in season two from high-profile Hollywood heavyweights, he’s keen to keep the talent Canadian.
“We need Canadian talent, and we love Canadian talent. It’s not a burden, but it’s also something we literally have to do to get our financing,” he said. Plus, casting relative unknowns was part of the charm of season one, and look how that turned out.
What else do we know about Heated Rivalry season two?
Specific details about Heated Rivalry season two are scarce, but there’s a few things we’ve learnt along the way.
For example, Tierney is pretty keen for the second season to follow a similar format to season one, with just six episodes. “I would always rather tighten the belt than get loosey-goosey… I would rather be like, ‘Let’s see how much story we can pack into these episodes,’” he explained.
Tierney has also confirmed that he will return to direct season two, but will be bringing on a co-writer.
We also know that the second season, like the first, won’t be co-produced by HBO and so won’t be “HBO-ified”.
“This is obviously a very successful creative collaboration between Jacob and Crave. I see no reason why we would be involved creatively,” Bloys said recently.
While there’s still well over a year to wait until Heated Rivalry, we can expect a trickle of details to be announced over the coming months. Keep the bed warm at the cottage, boys.
Heated Rivalry is streaming now on HBO, Crave and NOW.

California Attorney General files lawsuit against youth health firm over gender-affirming care
California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against Rady Children’s Health on 30 January over its decision to shutter its gender-affirming care program for patients under the age of 19.
Last month, Rady announced the closure of its Center for Gender Affirming Care, effective 6 February.
As per a statement to the East Bay Times, Rady is withdrawing “medical interventions, procedures and prescriptions”, but will maintain “counselling, mental health resources and care coordination”.

Rady Children’s Health is comprised of Children’s Hospital of Orange County and Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego after announcing a merger between their parent companies in January 2025.
In the lawsuit, Bonta argues that Rady’s decision to end care violates conditions placed by the attorney general himself on the merger.
“Rady Children’s Health has chosen to violate its merger agreement and California law in response to the Trump Administration’s illegal campaign against providers of gender-affirming care,” said Bonta in a statement.
“Rady flagrantly disregarded its legal obligations by unilaterally deciding to preemptively comply with the Administration’s demands and cease medically necessary care for roughly 1,450 patients.
“We will not allow Rady to violate its obligations to its patients and the State.
“We will fight to uphold the law and ensure Californians can access gender-affirming care without facing unfair roadblocks.”
