Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings isn’t mincing words about the Trump administration anymore—if he ever really was.
“The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” the 51-year-old quiz show icon wrote on Bluesky Wednesday, just hours after a masked ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good in her car during an immigration raid protest.
WHAT’S GOING ON: Jennings also shared a post from writer Kashana Cauley that cut straight to the point: “They spent all that time complaining about crime in cities so they could implement their solution of killing people in cities.”
The posts came as video footage demolished the Trump administration’s version of events. Good, a mother of a 6-year-old son, was filmed trying to turn away from ICE agents who had surrounded her Honda Pilot SUV. One agent attempted to open her driver’s side door while another opened fire as she drove away.
Witnesses said Good was “obviously scared” when the agents swarmed her vehicle. Photos of her car showed children’s toys in the glove compartment.
BUT BUT BUT: The administration immediately went into smear mode. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—wearing an oversized cowboy hat at a press conference—called Good a “domestic terrorist.” Stephen Miller labeled her a “rioter.” Trump himself piled on with his own insults against the slain mother.
The problem? Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez told ABC News that Good “was an observer” who was “watching out for our immigrant neighbors.” Not a terrorist. Not a rioter. A bystander who got murdered by federal agents.
THE RESPONSE: Minnesota officials aren’t having it. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f–k out” in a defiant press conference. Governor Tim Walz delivered a more polished version: “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough.”
Jennings, for his part, has never really hidden his politics despite hosting one of America’s most beloved game shows. In June 2025, he wrote a scathing takedown of Noem after the DHS boss couldn’t define “habeas corpus” in a Senate hearing. Before landing the Jeopardy! gig permanently in 2022, he regularly fired off tweets mocking conservatives.
He did apologize for those tweets in December 2020 while being considered for the hosting job. But Wednesday’s post makes clear: Ken Jennings is done hedging.
WHY IT MATTERS: In an era when celebrities with massive platforms mostly stay silent—terrified of advertiser backlash or social media pile-ons—Jennings is using the word “regime” to describe his own government and openly advocating for prosecutions. He’s not calling for “healing” or “moving forward.” He wants accountability.
It’s a reminder that when federal agents kill an unarmed mother in broad daylight and the administration’s response is to call her a terrorist, some people will refuse to stay quiet—even if they have a lot to lose.
