Cracks in the GOP Over Trump’s Immigration Push and Social Media on Trial

After deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis, Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thom Tillis of North Carolina have publicly called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to step down, marking a rare break with the administration. Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles discusses whether their criticism is a sign of growing unease over enforcement tactics and accountability within the GOP and whether criticism of Department of Homeland Security policies could affect a key spending vote this week. Then, NBC News NOW anchor Savannah Sellers explains what’s at stake in a landmark case against social media companies, which are being sued over claims that they knowingly built addictive platforms linked to depression, eating disorders and self-harm for kids. While TikTok and Snap have already settled, Google and Meta now face a trial that could force Silicon Valley and Washington to rethink how social media is built.
