Missouri GOP Candidate Arrested in Plot to Plant Cocaine on Rival

Missouri Republican candidate Thomas Ross was arrested and charged with conspiring to distribute a controlled substance after prosecutors say he tried to frame rival Louise Secker by having cocaine and Adderall planted in her purse or car, coordinating with a former campaign manager and using an FBI-recorded conversation as evidence. The allegations emerged as Ross had just won the 161st district GOP primary by 33 votes; Missouri GOP chair Peter Kinder urged him to withdraw pending the facts in the case.

Video analysis: no vehicular run-over in Good-Ross shooting, but use-of-force questions linger

New York Times video analysis concludes Renee Nicole Good did not run over Agent Jonathan Ross; there was contact with the car hood and Ross’s phone, and the shooting occurred after he positioned himself near the vehicle, suggesting not self-defense. The piece links this incident to broader border-patrol use-of-force concerns highlighted by a 2013 Police Executive Research Forum review, while noting Trump’s claims that Good weaponized her vehicle are not supported by the video.

Both companies reported better-than-expected fiscal first-quarter earnings, with TJX and Ross posting sales gains of 6% and 8%, respectively. The trend is expected to continue as consumers prioritize value, and brands increasingly partner with these retailers to reach a broad array of income levels.
