Last month, a federal agent shot an unarmed U.S. citizen multiple times in Chicago. Then the government lied about it—releasing a statement so full of distortions, you’d think it came from a dictatorship.
They said she had a gun. She didn’t.
They said she rammed 10 cars. It was two.
They said she drove herself to the hospital. No—she was taken by ambulance.
And now we’ve learned that MAGA propagandist Laura Loomer got photos of the bullet-ridden car—straight from a Department of Homeland Security source.
Let that sink in.
This isn’t a one-off. It’s the product of a coordinated state propaganda machine—and Republican lawmakers are sitting on their hands while it steamrolls truth and accountability.
We’re in a new era of state-manufactured misinformation—an era when an independent press is more important than ever.
The New Republic has a long-established reputation of confronting lies with strong reporting, deep analysis, and righteous fury. But to do it, we need your help.
