Heather Cox – Jan 24 – What we know so far – The Killing of Alex Pretti

Historian Heather Cox Richardson’s YouTube from Saturday, January 24, 2026 : The Killing of Alex Pretti: What We Know So Far.

Heather Cox Richardson does more than summarize today’s facts that she confirmed. She analyzes them, warns of rumors and misinformation, points out the historical roots of U.S. government’s actions and people behind recent events, and suggests actions we should take. I think this presentation should have a subtitle, “Now Is the Time to Choose,” which she talks about at the end of the 37 minute YouTube.

The New York Times had an excellent string of updates during Saturday, January 24th.

“Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun.” Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting.
