Michael and Susan Pretti: "Please get the truth out about our son: he was a good man."


Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family
and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for
as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to
make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be
with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term
lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a
woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are
reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun
when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs.
He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is
raised above his head while trving to protect the woman ICE
just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

New study affirms what all other studies show. Importers and consumers, not foreign exporters bore the brunt of tariffs. Spike in uncertainty in April 2025 during the tariff tantrum showed up as paralysis in hiring much of the year since then - a little more than 84% of all jobs for 2025
