THE FARM BILL FLAP ... -- RACHAEL BADE: "Republicans claw at each other over farm bill implosion": "House Republicans are at each other's throats after the Freedom Caucus delivered a shock to party leaders on Friday by killing a key GOP bill over an unrelated simmering feud over immigration. Speaker Paul Ryan and his leadership team were sure the group of three dozen rabble-rousers would cave. The partisan farm bill, after all, includes historic new work requirements for food stamp beneficiaries that conservatives have demanded for years. Plus, President Donald Trump leaned in, tweeting his support for the bill Thursday night to up the pressure on the far right. "But Ryan's team sorely miscalculated. In an embarrassing show of weakness, the bill went down on the floor after a last-minute leadership scramble to flip votes. "Almost immediately, Republicans pointed fingers at each other. Freedom Caucus members said GOP leaders brought the matter on themselves by failing to pass a conservative immigration solution for Dreamers sooner. GOP leaders blamed the conservatives for upending a core Trump priority. And some Republicans even blamed Ryan, arguing they're stuck with an outgoing speaker who couldn't get the job done." https://politi.co/2wWigUD -- QUICK TAKE ... It's easy to blame the lame-duck Ryan here -- and there might be some truth to the fact that Republicans are willing to screw him because he's on his way out the door. That said, there is ample evidence that the Freedom Caucus would've done the same thing had he not been on his way out. Blame who you'd like. This is a House Republican Conference that is limping toward Election Day, unable to do something as simple as pass an all-Republican farm bill. RYAN has set up a June filled with immigration votes. There is a chance that the House won't be able to pass any immigration bill. Good Saturday morning. Preakness post time tonight is 6:48 p.m. and will be broadcast on NBC.

THE LATEST IN TEXAS -- AP: "Teen laid out Texas attack plans in journals, officials say," by Michael Biesecker, Jeff Horwitz and Juan Lozano in Santa Fe, Texas: "The Texas student charged in the shooting at Santa Fe High School described planning the attack in private journals, including a plan to kill himself, posted an image on Facebook of a "Born to Kill" shirt and used his father's shotgun and pistol in the rampage that left 10 dead and 10 wounded, authorities said Friday. "A motive wasn't immediately clear, but Gov. Greg Abbott said Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, wrote about planning the attack in journals on his computer and in his cellphone that police obtained. That was inconsistent with the portrait painted by his friends -- a reserved young man, an athlete who had discussed wanting to own guns but didn't talk of killing people." https://bit.ly/2rTNMxT HOUSTON CHRONICLE FRONT PAGE ... "TERROR IN SANTA FE" http://bit.ly/2kdDG6N NYT'S ADAM GOLDMAN, MARK MAZZETTI and MATT ROSENBERG: "F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims": "President Trump accused the F.B.I. on Friday, without evidence, of sending a spy to secretly infiltrate his 2016 campaign 'for political purposes' even before the bureau had any inkling of the 'phony Russia hoax.' "In fact, F.B.I. agents sent an informant to talk to two campaign advisers only after they received evidence that the pair had suspicious contacts linked to Russia during the campaign. The informant, an American academic who teaches in Britain, made contact late that summer with one campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, according to people familiar with the matter. He also met repeatedly in the ensuing
