Trump’s agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinfo about the shooting.
Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

DHS said agents were “boxed in by 10 cars,” and suggested she brandished a gun, which “forced” an agent to open fire. She “drove herself to hospital.”
But charging doc only discusses two cars, doesn’t mention gun, and ambulance took her to hospital. 2/

DHS also said her car “rammed” the agents’ vehicle. But the Chicago Sun-Times reports that her lawyer says body cam footage undermines the notion that she drove her vehicle toward them and shows an agent saying “do something, bitch” before shooting. 3/

Sen Chris Murphy just wrote to Kristi Noem demanding that she correct DHS’s public falsehoods about the shooting.
It’s an unusual move: He is calling her to account for government propaganda about the shooting. More should be done like this. 4/

A big part of this story has gone unnoticed: At this point, the guardrails for DHS agents are weak and oversight mechanisms for them have atrophied. Trump’s paramilitary forces are operating with little constraint.
Murphy’s letter addresses this, too. 5/

Much of this is enabled by GOP’s crippling of congressional oversight on Trump’s behalf. The people are awash in propaganda about what their govt is doing to them, and thanks to GOP, Congress is checked out of fact-finding business entirely. Very bad! 6/6

You don’t hear so much anymore that Democrats should have demanded more, or different things, because the Democratic messaging (“Americans need affordable Healthcare”) is good and genuine and working, despite GOP and media efforts against it.

Reporter: There is concern about millions losing their snap benefits
Vance: Of course
Reporter: The admin moved a lot of money around to pay troops and is saying they can’t move money around to pay some of those benefits. Why not and would there be some push in the next 48 hours to make sure Americans don’t go hungry.
Vance: Trump has tried to do everything that he can to make it as unpainless as possible.

The Governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry went to LSU tonight and challenged the Board to find a spot for a Charlie Kirk statue.
This same weekend, he got involved in firing LSU’s football coach.
He also called a special session to change election dates in case the Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act—so he can cut Black congressional representation.
He’s found time for everything except making life better for Louisianans.
We’re ranked 50th in the nation—and this is what he’s focused on.
Jeff makes it clear who he is for and who he is against.

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:
1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.
2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP as leverage.
3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit.
4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote
