It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report

On today's program:

ICE agents kill legal observer Renee Good, shooting her point-blank in the head. Donald Trump takes to Truth Social to spread false claims of self-defense and smear Good's character. In lockstep with the president, Jesse Watters delivers a glib monologue attempting to justify the killing by pointing to the fact that Good had "pronouns in her bio," was a lesbian, and was a protest disruptor. Within an hour of the murder, Kristi Noem hails the agent as a hero who "saved the lives" of fellow officers—despite video evidence showing the exact opposite.

Here is a link to a Go Fund Me to support Renee's widow and children.

The New York Times publishes a piece highlighting the 9 ICE-involved shootings since Trump took office.

An eyewitness to the murder panels on CNN to recount what she saw and debunk the self-defense lie coming from the Trump administration.

We take a look at some stills from the shooting which clearly show that the officer was in no danger and shot offensively.

Nick Cleveland-Stout, research associate in the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft , joins Emma to talk about Big Oil's involvement in policy shaping think tanks and their role in the Venezuela invasion.
