2460 - Neoliberalism's Abundance Gambit w/ Paul Glastris

It's Wednesday! Sam welcomes Joel Lava from Tesla Takedown and Mase Veney, an organizer from the Philly Whole Foods Union. First, Sam runs through updates on the Trump Administration’s Signal scandal over their accidental leaking of war plans, the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Biden’s ghost gun regulations, Pennsylvania’s special election, the HHS’s anti-vaxxer-headed study on autism, trickling details about the legal status of certain Venezuelans renditioned to El Salvador, Trump/Musk’s plan to lay off thousands from the Treasury, the Senate GOP’s budget, JD Vance’s visit to Greenland, SpaceX’s secret Chinese backers, and Trump’s nomination for Social Security head, before diving into some of the biggest updates to the Trump team’s Signal scandal with the full release of messages after Tusli Gabbard’s claim that there was “no classified” information in the chat. Joel Lava then joins, diving right into the idea behind the wildly successful “Tesla Takedown” protests in attempting to undercut the overwhelming political power by hitting at its root: his massive wealth tied up in Tesla stocks. After expanding on the greater anti-Trump roots of this, Lava and Sam unpack the protests' goals and how far the stock would have to fall to really screw over Elon’s business ventures, wrapping up with how you can join a protest near you – or even start your own! Mase Veney then dives into his personal history working at Whole Foods in Philadelphia, the initial bonding between coworkers over their shared experiences of mistreatment and the company’s exploitation of the power imbalance, and the rapid evolution of the organizing process once he and his coworkers realized the overwhelming support the idea of unionization already had, quickly moving to work with United Food &amp; Commercial Workers International to capitalize on their institutional knowledge of organizing within the grocery industry. After expanding on the important role UFCW played in helping them win the union vote with a strong majority, Veney and Sam shift into the Trump era, as they unpack how the company’s refusal to recognize the union is bolstered by a neutered NLRB and a hostile Trump Administration, before wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the continuing campaign to keep the all coworkers invested in the fight, and how those of us outside can support the effort!  And in the Fun Half: Sam watches MIke Walz try to sidestep questions about his Signal scandal from an incredulous Laura Ingraham, Senator Elizabeth Warren evicerates Trump’s Social Security nominee and their relationship to DOGE, and Donald Trump shouts out the real one Chuck Schumer. Lis from California shares his perspective as a DACA recipient, and Kowalski from Nebraska unpacks Trump's terrible tariffs. Sam also watches Tim Pool and Co. go insane at the morally consistent belief in due process for all, and jumps off some criticism from the Pod Save guys as he espouses the need to unite pro-democracy and economic populist messaging. Tammy from Montreal explores a major win for Canada’s indigenous communities, Nathan from Illinois talks organized religion and authoritarianism, and the MR Team dissects early results out of PA’s special election, plus, your calls and IMs!

2462 - Tesla Takedown Protests; Whole Foods Union Fight w/ Mase Veney, Joel Lava

It's Wednesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Robert Weissman, co-president of the non-profit advocacy organization Public Citizen, which has filed 8 lawsuits against the Trump administration and says they have more coming. And later, Rohan Grey, Assistant Professor of Law at Willamette University, discusses his latest research on the Trump administration’s attempt to seize direct political control over the core payments software of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which handles spending for most of the federal government, to block funds to politically disfavored agencies and programs.

2467 - Fighting Trump’s Power Grab w/ Robert Weissman, Rohan Grey

Happy Friday! Sam welcome David Dayen from The American Prospect and Organized Money podcast about Trump's tariff-pocalypse.   First, Sam runs through updates on Trump’s global trade war, Congress’ attempt to regain authority over tariffs, South Korea’s impeachment of now-former President Yoon, Trump’s firing of national security officials, the Trump Administration’s public health whoopsie, the Senate’s budget reconciliation, the confirmation of Dr. Oz, Schumer’s polling, Trump’s attack on Brown University, DOGE vs. Social Security, and US aid to Israel, before watching Scott Bessent explain why good markets are bad and bad markets are&nbsp;good. David Dayen then joins to tackle the myriad insanities that led to Trump’s imposition of these tumultuous tariffs, walking through the nonsensical (and potentially AI-generated) formula Trump used to calculate them and the utter dearth of any complementary incentive structure or strategic targeting to go the tariffs, all suggesting that they’re perhaps more grounded in an attempt to bully and punish the rest of the world economically while working-class Americans pay the cost. After expanding on the Bessent “box” theory of Trump’s tariff agenda, Sam and David get in some solid digs at Schumer as they touch on Congress’ ongoing attempt to take back tariff power and ponder the future of a GOP turn on Trump’s economic sabotage, before unpacking what to expect from to the GOP’s ongoing budget reconciliation push. Wrapping up Dayen posits a strong theory on a Conservative push to use rising prices amid tariffs to justify tax cuts, before watching some open criticisms of Trump from Ron Johson and Ted Cruz. And in the Fun Half: Sam tackles the return of Laura Loomer to Trump’s inner circle, now in the capacity as some form of National Security advisor, parses through some highlights from his appearance on PBD, including an attempt to address some Social Security misinformation, and watches Judge Jeanine make some blatantly incorrect statements about the future of the US economy.

2471 - Ominous SCOTUS Ruling Bails Out Trump Deportations w/ Mark Joseph Stern

It's Casual Friday (relatively speaking), and Sam and Emma start the show with some glimmers of good news on the immigration front, following the Supreme Court's ruling that the Trump administration must make an attempt to bring home&nbsp;Kilmar Armando Ábrego García. The government already admitted they deported&nbsp;Garcia to a maximum&nbsp;security prison in El Salvador because of an administrative error. Sean McGarvey, the president of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers where Garcia is a member, has demanded he be brought home. &nbsp; Sam and Emma are then joined by The Nation's national affairs correspondent Jeet Heer to break down the implications of Trump's chaotic tariff policy, which is accelerating&nbsp;de-dollarization, including among the U.S.'s most (normally) steadfast allies. They also break down the warped logic of Trump's immigration&nbsp;crackdown, including the weaponization of the immigration system for the sake of Israel. Jeet makes the point that both Democrats and Republicans have participated in the weaponization of faux concerns about antisemitism which has brought us to this moment. Jeet also gives his opinion of the much-discussed Abundance Agenda. &nbsp; Check out Jeet's writing here:&nbsp; &nbsp; In the fun half, Sam and Emma react to billionaire&nbsp;Chamath Palihapitiya complaining that Democrats never gave him access to the Oval Office despite the fact that he donated millions of dollars to their campaigns. They also take in Jesse Waters' breakdown of Trump's bizarre cabinet meeting, an all-star sycophantic ceremony with highlights from Elon Musk, RFK Jr. Pam Bondi &amp; Pete Hegseth, each one trying to out-headline the other.

2474 - Trump Escalates Immigration Crackdown As SCOTUS Rules Against Him w/ Jeet Heer

It's Monday, the first day of an Emma-jority week, so buckle up! First, Emma breaks down the latest tariff chaos, with Howard Lutnik and Peter Navarro singing different tunes in explaining why goods like computers, cell phones and the much coveted chips are being exempted from the tariffs. But Navarro doesn't want you tall them exemptions though just FYI. After that, Salvadoran-American author,&nbsp; activist and educator Roberto Lovato joins Emma here to give us some context to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's visit to Washington. During his meeting with Trump, Bukele makes it clear that he doesn't plan to return&nbsp;Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, despite that the Trump administration has already admitted he was sent to a prison in El Salvador due to an administrative error and that SCOTUS already ordered the Trump administration to make an effort to bring him Abrego Garcia home. Roberto helps contextualize this horrifying new dystopia in history of U.S. - Salvadoran relations. As Roberto points out, Bukele's rise and relationship with Trump is a sign not just of the U.S.'s impact on the Central American country but also visa versa. Check out Roberto's book "Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution":&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Emma checks in on David Rubin and his attempts to understand U.S. - China relations. Emma also breaks the news of the arrest of Palestinian Columbia student&nbsp;Mohsen Mahdawi, who was at an appointment where he was set to become a U.S. citizen. We also learn about all the countries Russ has lived in (Chile, Argentina, Colombia &amp; Brazil, kind of).

2475 - Trump’s Tariff Thrashing; Bukele Goes To Washington w/ Roberto Lovato

Halfway through Emma-jority week and we're still just getting started. We check in on a Chuck Grassley town hall where he's confronted by angry constituents in a small town in Iowa. Then Emma is joined by Lawfare senior editor Anna Bower to break down the legal back and forth between the Trump administration and Kilmar Abrego Garcia's legal team. Check out her coverage on Lawfare:&nbsp; And follow her on Twitter:&nbsp;@AnnaBower We also hear some good news from Anthony Squitire from&nbsp;NYC&nbsp;Alamo&nbsp;United's bargaining comittee, about how they negotiated and end to &nbsp;after management agreed to reinstate all laid-off staffers. In the Fun Half™, Emma is joined by&nbsp;Francesca Fiorentini. The ladies break down Elon Musk's disgusting impregnation fascination, the faux-feminist Blue Origin flight (with a shout out to&nbsp;Emily Ratajkowski and her A+ take), before calling out the fascist political framework of Trump's immigration crackdown. Follow Francesca Fiorentini (@franifio)&nbsp; and come see her and Matt Lieb in San Francisco on May 7th.

2477 - Trump vs Kilmar Abrego Garcia; Alamo Workers Win Big w/ Anna Bower, NYC Alamo United

It's a busy Thursday here at MR HQ, and Emma dives right into the significance Judge&nbsp;James Boasberg's finding cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for not adhering to his previous order on deportations. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Van Hollen is in El Salvador where he's been prevented from visiting his Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Then, Emma is joined by writer, activist and professor Naomi Klein about her new essay&nbsp;The rise of end times fascism. Naomi points out the new form that right wing authoritarianism has taken in finding ways to exit society and Earth itself. Naomi co-wrote the essay with&nbsp;Astra Taylor, which you can read here in The Guardian:  After that,&nbsp;infectious disease doctor MarkAlain Déry joins Emma in the studio to discuss the challenges facing public health under the Trump regime, especially from Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. who continues to spread misinformation about any number of things, including about autism and vaccines.&nbsp;MarkAlain expresses his concern that essential programs that receive federal funding could now be in jeopardy, especially those that cater to marginalized communities, especially undocumented people. In the Fun Half, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton are here to break down the video of Republican senator Chuck Grassley getting yelled at by his constituents at a town hall over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The group talks about how entrenched some of the support for Trump is among his base, even when his policies cost them their jobs. They also discuss how the attention on the Abrego Garcia is a moment when Democrats need to keep their foot on the gas and show voters that they are willing and able to fight for justice.

2478 - MAGA’s End-Times Fascism; RFK Jr’s War On Public Health w/ Naomi Klein, MarkAlain Déry

It's casual Good Friday, and oh what a week it's been. Emma breaks down Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with his constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, as well as the way the White House and Bukele are trying to spin it. After that, Emma speaks with the new chairman of the House Progressive Caucus Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), who shares his vision for how the Democratic Party can push back on Trump's draconian immigration crackdown, as well as providing a more positive vision for a forward-looking immigration program of their own. Emma also asks Casar about what conversations are taking place within the House Progressive Caucus about the disconnection between the Democratic Party at large and its constituents on Gaza. Casar also talks about his experience on the Fight the Oligarchy tour with Bernie &amp; AOC, and his desire to make sure the federal government is rid of Elon Musk by May. After that,&nbsp;Emma is joined by Some More News' Cody Johnston, to talk about what is happening (or not happening) to counter the Trump administration's full-court blitz. David Hogg and Chris Cuomo take shots at Bernie, AOC and DNC co-chair David Hogg for "taking a page from the MAGA playbook." Carvel even suggests that he might try to sue Hogg for saying that he's going to support primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats. They also marvel at Jair Bolsonaro's latest edition of shirtless hospital selfies. Check out Some More News' YouTube channel here:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, we watch the interview that Mohhsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia who is now in ICE custody, gave before the day of his arrest. His story may be chilling but his words and spirit are an inspiration and beacon of hope in an otherwise dark time.

2479 - Winning on Immigration and Fighting Oligarchy w/ Rep. Greg Casar, Cody Johnston

Elon Musk's star is in retrograde following Tesla's abysmal earnings report. This as Trump continues to take a sledge hammer to the IRS and other federal agencies. We have Merici Vinton on the show today, who is a former staffer at the U.S. Digital Service Department, which became absorbed by DOGE when Donald Trump took office. She's also a former adviser at the IRS. Check out her recent piece in the Federation of American Science:  In the Fun Half, Sam revels in podcaster Jennifer Welsh shouting at Rahm Emmanuel for throwing trans people under the bus when talking about what issues Democrats should focus on. Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan lament the negative impact that Trump's policy are having on the upcoming Canadian election. As always, Peterson is wearing a very silly suit. Also, Republican Congressman Byron Donaldson gets shouted at at a town hall in Florida by constituents who are PISSED about Elon Musk and DOGE.

2482 - Trump's Attack on the IRS & Tesla gets DOGE'd w/ Merici Vinton

We've made it to Friday folks. Krystal Ball will be here to break down the wild week that was. First, Sam and Emma discuss Donald Trump's memecoin dinner and the amount of money he's made since taking office just over a month ago. Then Krystal, Sam and Emma discuss the arrest of an immigration judge by the FBI in Wisconsin for allegedly protected an undocumented immigrant from federal authorities. The three discuss how this development plays into the direction the administration is heading on immigration and in general. The three try to decipher what Trump and his inner circle are thinking at this point about tariffs, after having ceded significantly from their initial plan. They also discuss what is on the horizon for the Democrats.

2484 - Immigration Judge Arrested, Tariff Tizzy w/ Krystal Ball

It's Newsday Tuesday. Up top, Sam and Emma take in the White House's angry response to the news that Amazon had started to display the cost of tariffs on it's orders on one of its websites, before Amazon quickly back-peddled and apologized. Sam and Emma then talk to the former head of the CFPB and the FTC Rohit Chopra on the Trump administration taking a sledgehammer to regulations and consumer protections. After that, Canadian writer and podcaster Luke Savage breaks down the results of Canada's elections and what it means for the future of Canada-U.S. relations. Follow his Substack:&nbsp; As well as his delightful film podcast Michael and Us:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Emma and Sam check in on Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney in Washington, DC Ed Martin and his efforts to distance himself from his right wing media appearances, including his repeated praise of a January 6th rioter and apparent Nazi sympathizer. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer says he's sent a strongly worded letter to the Trump administration over their crackdown on academia, but also goes out of his way to denounce what he said were antisemitic incidents on college campuses. Andrew Callaghan tries to talk some sense into Patrick Bet-David regarding the relationship between homelessness, social welfare programs and taxation, to no avail.

2486 - Trump's Assault on the Regulatory State & Canada's Elections w/ Rohit Chopra & Luke Savage

The U.S. economy shrunk by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025 according to the Commerce Department. That's a huge splash of cold water on the Trump administration's celebrations marking his first 100 days in office. In addition to that, Trump gave an interview to ABC News last night where he acknowledges he could bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador if he wanted to, seemingly flouting the Supreme Court's order to do just that. So what is Chuck Schumer up to? He's put out a video literally clapping back against the administration's planned tax on cars. Great to see he's always on point! Sam is joined by Biden's former Social Security administrator Martin O'Malley, who has been raising the alarm about Republicans' assault on his former agency in a variety of ways. In the Fun Half, Sam look at more clips from Trump's 100 day celebrations, including a chilling moment at a rally in Michigan where Trump plays footage of prisoners in El Salvador's prison are paraded around for the cameras and have their heads shaved. The crowd chants U-S-A in response. Trump also apparently believes that the photoshopped version of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hands with the letters MS13 imposed on them is a real photograph, and insists as much in his interview with ABC's Terry Moran. Meanwhile, Tim Pool tries to dispel what the right has come to call the "Maryland Man Hoax," which is the way they try to distract people from paying attention to the very real injustices at play in Abrego Garcia's deportation and imprisonment.

2487 - Economy Shrinks In Trump's First 100 Days; GOP War on Social Security w/ Martin O'Malley

Casual Friday is finally upon us! Sam and Emma take in the spectacle that was State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce finding out in real time during a press briefing that National Security Adviser Tim Waltz had been re-assigned to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. while her boss Marco Rubio was replacing him. After that, Sam and Emma talk to Mehdi Hasan about Trump's first 100 days and all of the damage he and his administration have been able to do in that time. They reflect on how the administrations' assault particularly on immigrants, lead by Stephen Miller, has served as a horrifying spectacle meant in part to distract people from the harm that's also being done to the economy. &nbsp; Check out more of Mehdi's analysis at Zeteo, which is about to turn one year old!:  After that, Emma is joined by funnyman and birthday boy Matt Lieb. Together they take in some of the sad and consequential aspects of John Fetterman's mental health that have been reported on in a new piece by New York Magazine. Check out Matt's upcoming standup show next Wednesday at Cobbs in San Francisco:  After that, Emma, Russ and Matt admire Ilhan Omar's handling of her interaction with Daily Caller "reporter"&nbsp;Myles Morell while effectively conveying the moral position on the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case and its implications. Also the Texas state house is busy debating a GOP-sponsored bill forbidding litter boxes from schools over a completely made up moral panic about furries.

2489 - Mike Walz Out, Miller's Immigration Horror w/ Mehdi Hasan, Matt Lieb

Donald Trump isn't sure that migrants are entitled to due process, or if he needs to uphold the Constitution. He says he'll check with Attorney General Pam Bondi though and get back to us. That's just one of many bonkers moments from the president's sit down interview with NBC's Meet the Press. It's Funday Monday folks!&nbsp;The Roosevelt Institute's director of industrial policy and trade Dr. Todd Tucker joins Emma and Sam to break down the impact of the Trump administration's tariffs, as well as what a progressive tariffs regime might look like. Trump seems to see trade deficits as a zero sum game that he's asking Americans to make a huge sacrifice to win, though it's not clear why. In the Fun Half, we hear from the head of the Port of L.A. who is raising the alarm about slowdown in global trade, which could lead to shortages of goods in the U.S. and a reduction in workers needed at ports and in shipping. At the same time, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is practically begging people to become air traffic controllers because of a shortage of them at the FAA. This is after Duffy reportedly got into a shouting match with Musk about DOGE's targeting of the FAA. Chuck Schumer tries to take a victory lap over Trump's abysmal approval rating, but, whoops! His approval rating is also in the toilet.

2490 - Trump Tries to Justify the Impact of Tariffs w/ Todd Tucker

It's a Sam-solo casual Friday and Digby is here to wrap up the week that was. Sam takes in the Fox News discussion about the pope, which acknowledges that Jesus would be on the side of migrants if he was alive today, but also wonders whether he'd be as political as some of the leaders of the Catholic church have been. Then Sam and Digby marvel at JD Vance's ominous addendum to Donald Trump's tariffs agenda, mainly that American parents should be worried that if their children have to go off to fight in a war they should have American-made guns. They also discuss the Trump administration's cruel crack down on immigrants and their communities. Check out Digby's writing at Salon and on her blog:&nbsp; After that, we hear from David Feldman who's upset about ICE, not for the reasons you might imagine. It's...interesting. After that, Sam decides to grant us a Freebie Friday, so get your kicks in while you can. We talk Tim Pool and his new academic definition of war, which basically includes any and everything so he can justify the Trump administration taking extra-constitutional actions to crack down on people it doesn't like. They also take in Biden's appearance on The View, where he tries to make the case that he wasn't experiencing mental decline while in office by trailing off and having Jill Biden speak on his behalf while he hangs his head in silence. It's really quite sad. After that, we hear from a trans member of the military who's devastated that his losing his career and perhaps his pension and other benefits as a result of the Supreme Court's ruling that allows the DoD to purge the military of trans people. A caller from Massachusetts mentioned these resources for people concerned about ICE's activities in the state: Luce Massachusetts:&nbsp; Blog WorcesterSucks:&nbsp; And here's the info about the protest Sam mentioned in support of Palestine in Brooklyn on Saturday:&nbsp; Become a member at&nbsp;JoinTheMajorityReport.com:&nbsp; Follow us on TikTok here!:&nbsp; Check us out on Twitch here!:&nbsp; Find our Rumble stream here!:&nbsp; Check out our alt YouTube channel here!:&nbsp; Gift a Majority Report subscription here:&nbsp; Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here:&nbsp; Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here:&nbsp; Join the Majority Report Discord!&nbsp; Get all your MR merch at our store:&nbsp; Get the free Majority Report App!:&nbsp; Go to&nbsp;&nbsp;and use coupon code majority to get 10% off your purchase!

2494 - Trump Tariff Failure Will Be Taken Out On Migrants w/ Heather 'Digby' Parton & David Feldman

Sam and Emma welcome Dropsite's Jeremy Scahill for the latest developments on the Trump administration's diplomatic push in the Middle East as well as Jeremy's recent interviews with senior leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas. It's the perfect context to understanding what might lie ahead for Gaza with the shifting Trump administration's relationship with Israel. Check out Jeremy's interview with Hamas official Osama Hamdan here:&nbsp; Also check out Jeremy's conversation about his reporting on the Palestinian resistance with his Dropsite colleagues:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, we look at how the Trump coalition is starting to fray over his break with Israel, but specifically on his willingness to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar. Suffice to say, Ben Shapiro is troubled by this latest development. Also, Bill Maher is STILL complaining about the satirical piece Larry David wrote about him. This time he tries to kvetch with Kill Tony, the king of offensive humor, who might be goofing on Maher as he simultaneously laments people comparing Trump to Hitler while also likening Hitler to Michael Jordan. Bill Maher is like the Lebron of not having self-awareness.

2496 - Trump Cashes In On US-Middle East 'Diplomacy' w/ Jeremy Scahill

We've made it to casual Friday folks! The Supreme Court had a field day yesterday with the Trump administration's attorney over their executive order to revoke birthright citizenship. Several of the justices, including conservatives, seemed to reject the argument that circuit court injunctions should only apply to the specific case in question. After that, the Nation's Jeet Heer is here to break down all the week's highlights (and lowlights), including Trump's trip to the Middle East, the GOP spending bill and the Democratic Party's lack of willingness to address concerns over Biden's age when it counted. Check out Jeet's writing at The Nation:&nbsp; And his podcast The Time of Monsters:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Sam and Emma go deeper into the Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship, mainly a question Bret Kavanaugh asked about how such a policy would even be implemented. Would expecting mothers have to pass a customs checkpoint to enter the maternity ward? Or maybe all maternity wards would have to be inside of detention centers so the government can adjudicate each baby's immigration status after they're born. Kid Rock says that liberal women are ugly. Ok dude. And towards the end of the show, Sam, Emma Kuwalski from Nebraska and a few other listeners do a bit of a post-mortem on Sam's conversation with Ezra Klein.

2499 - Trump's Birthright Citizenship Run-Around w/ Jeet Heer

First Emma and Sam check in on the latest on Israel and it's ongoing siege on Gaza. Netanyahu says that he's going to allow in some food aid, but it seems to be mostly a fig leaf to shield Israel from widening criticism over the starving children and looming famine in Gaza as the IDF begins it's new, horrifying phase of their genocidal campaign. Senator Chris Van Hollen is one of a very short list of U.S. lawmakers willing to call it out. After that, Sam and Emma talk to historian Quinn Slobodian about his new book "Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ and the Capitalism of the Far Right." Check it out here:&nbsp; And check out Quinn's previous books as well: Crackup Capitalism:&nbsp; Market Civilizations: Neoliberals East and South:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Jim Clyburn (D-SC) thinks that he STILL thinks that Biden could have served out a second term as president, which he said just hours before Biden's cancer diagnosis was made public. A remarkable position, though perhaps a defensive one for an 84 year old who's still serving in Congress. After that, Sam breaks the news that a court has effectively ended the pause on the Trump administration's move to end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants. George Washington University's student graduation speaker&nbsp;Cecilia Culver is brave enough to say she's ashamed that her tuition money is going to funding the genocide in Gaza, despite what similar graduation speakers have faced after making similar statements during graduation speeches. Actor Zach Woods shares a satirical take on NYU withholding the diploma of their graduation speaker after he denounced his university's complicity in Israel's war crimes. Tim Pool doesn't think non-citizens should have free speech while they're in the United States, and he goes to great logical lengths to justify that position. And finally, Sam, Emma and Matt are joined by Majority Report Chief Middle School Correspondent for the latest on what 12-year-olds are up to these days.

2500 - Neoliberalism's Far-Right Evolution w/ Quinn Slobodian

It's Newsday Tuesday™&nbsp;and Trump is on Capitol Hill trying to push his Big Beautiful Bill&nbsp;today. Sam and Emma will dig into what's in it and why. Suffice to say, when the dust settles, poor and working class people are sure to get the short end of the stick. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem apparently has no idea what Habeas Corpus is, how it works or how it's invoked. In the Fun Half, we bask in the glow of Columbia University's president getting boo'ed and heckled during a graduation ceremony. John Stewart points out how Jake Tapper sat on some really important information about Joe Biden's mental acuity and the workings of his administration in order to sell it after the fact as a book. And finally, Sam has some more thoughts on Ezra Klein and the Abundance Agenda.

2501 - Trump Tries to Ram Though His 'Big Beautiful Bill'

It's hump day and as it so happens technical hiccup day. But don't worry, we got some scotch tape and paperclips and have McGyvered this thing for now. Republicans in Congress are doing what they can to push their massive tax cut through reconciliation, and you'll never get who's gonna benefit from that (it's rich people). To make it happen, Republicans are now trying to sneak in cuts to Medicare. We talk first to&nbsp;Singrid Steinmetz, an ICU nurse and a member of the California Nurses Association, which represents nearly 2,200 at Long Beach Medical Center who will be striking tomorrow. Here's the contact info for LBMC in case you want to tell management there to support it's nurses:&nbsp; After that, we hear from The Guardian U.S. investigative reporter George Joseph about his stunning new piece out today about how United Health Care has secretly paid nursing homes that helped it gain Medicare enrollees and reduced hospitalizations:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Emma, Sam and Matt respond to Skelator look-alike Rick Scott trying to make the case for making cuts to Medicaid by arguing that if you want health care in America you should have to work for it. Steve Scalise is singing the same tune. Bernie went on Andrew Schulz's show and managed to get him and his bros to acknowledge the problem of inequality and the absurdity of being the only industrialized country in the world without guaranteed health care. Also, Andrew Cuomo talks to Bari Weiss about what's ailing Democratic-run cities and states (hint, he blames the left) and he seems to be pushing an Abundance™ style agenda.

2502 - UnitedHealth's Greed; Nurses On Strike w/ George Joseph, Singrid Steinmetz

We have The Lever's Luke Goldstein on today to talk about the GENIUS Act &amp; its implications, including that oligarchs might be able to issue their own private currency if it's signed into law. Check out Luke's piece here:&nbsp; Then Sam talks to members of United Food and Commercial Workers will be picketing in Worcester, Mass tomorrow as they negotiate a new contract before the current one expires in just over a week. If you want to show support and get a free MR T shirt, head to their picket at UMass Memorial in Worcester with a pizza and send us a pic to Majority Reporters (at) Gmail. Also, contact Mass Memorial directly to tell them you support UFCW's members:&nbsp; And / or send them some love on their FB page:  And tell the local paper in Worcester to cover this story:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Piers Morgan finally uses the G word when describing what's happening in Gaza. Republicans are getting an assist of sorts from Senate Democrats to push through Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, though Schumer and co. certainly don't want you to see it that way. Here's David Dayen's reporting on how Senate Dems could do something to stop it should they want to:&nbsp; And finally, theoretical physicist Sean Carroll absolutely mops the floor with Eric Weinstein's physics musings.

2506 -  GENIUS Act w/ Luke Goldstein & UFCW Local 1445

We've made it to Casual Friday folks, so loosen that collar and tune in. First up, Trump is continuing to melt down after being confronted with the acronym T.A.C.O. (Trump Always Chickens Out) and insists that he's a big strong man who is doing the best trade negotiations the world has ever seen. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent admits that talks with China have stalled and that he's not really sure when they might restart. Then David Dayen from the American Prospect joins us to talk about Trump's failures and what they mean for trade and the global economy. Check out his work on the golden age of scams:&nbsp; And check out David's other pieces and podcasts at The American Prospect here:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, Karoline Leavitt has a real wackadoodle justification for the legality of Trump's tariffs.

2508 - Trump's Fortunate Failures w/ David Dayen

It's Newsday Tuesday™ folks. We've got the latest Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, as well as Chuck Schumer's efforts to fight it. Wait, no, Chuck Schumer seems instead focused on goading Trump into a war with Iran. Go figure. He also opposed the Obama nuclear deal when it was being negotiated back in 2015, despite that it was arguably the Democratic president's most important foreign policy achievement. The Anti Defamation League's Jonathan Greenblatt is once again going after Hasan Piker for criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza. And Fox News is waging a war on Miss Rachel with a horrible song, saying that Mr. Rodgers would never opine on politics, despite that he very famously advocated for de-segregation and nuclear disarmament. In the Fun Half, Steven Miller is trashing Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society over some of their judge's rulings on immigration. The UAW puts out an anti-Cuomo ad that promotes their endorsement of Zohran Mamdani as well as progressive Brad Lander. And we also take in some more of Charlie Kirk humiliating himself at Cambridge University, where he was repeatedly dunked on by multiple college students.

2510 - Senate Rushes to Meet TACO Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Deadline

It's an Sam Solo Wednesday, and we have the latest on the Big Beautiful Bill inching its way through Congress. Some of the cuts will impact federally-backed science institutions, including weather monitoring. Florida meteorologist John Morales tells his viewers on air that he doesn't think he'll be able to predict the paths of hurricanes this season as he has in previous years because of the defunding of vital monitoring institutions. Scary. After that we have two great guests. First, Sam speaks to Wired senior writer Makena Kelly about Doge and Elon Musk's lingering impact on the government, as well as Palantir and it's role in government surveillance. Check out her reporting here:&nbsp; After that Sam spoke to San Diego journalist Roberto Camacho to discuss his reporting in Bolts on a grass root organization dedicated to monitoring ICE and protecting immigrant communities. Check out his his piece here:&nbsp; Follow Roberto on social media here: Twitter/IG/Threads: @rob_camacho_sd Bluesky: @robcamachosd.bsky.social In the Fun Half™, Elon Musk is now publicly poo poo-ing the Big Beautiful Bill which he thinks is bloated. Takes one to know one bud. As Sam points out, maybe it has something to do with how the bill would effect his bottom line. Patrick Bet-David and crew however are defending Trump, and Musk's drug use. They're in a tough spot these days. Alex Jones is going out of his way to defend Palantir. Gee, I wonder why? And for his part, Richie Torres is defending the Abundance Agenda.&nbsp; Go figure.

2511 - Palantir's Role in Government Surveillance & Activists Disrupting ICE w/ Makena Kelly & Roberto Camacho

It's Newsday Tuesday™ with the MR crew and we'll be digging into the Trump administration's deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles amid protests over ICE raids there. Pete Hegseth tries to justify why federal troops are in LA during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing by pushing falsehoods about both the situation on the ground, the state and local response and federal policies involving the deployment of troops. Meanwhile, National Guardsmen are sleeping on the floor in their uniforms because the hap-hazard nature of this whole operation. California's governor Gavin Newsom for his part says he's going to be suing the Trump administration over it's actions and points out that because of these deployments other important efforts like fire safety are being compromised. Donald Trump says that Greta Thunberg should take anger management classes after her peaceful humanitarian flotilla to Gaza was detained in international waters by the Israeli military. Russell Brand, who is looking more ridiculous with each passing day, mocks Greta and is seemingly upset that unlike him she actually acts based on her convictions. In the Fun Half, Chuck Todd talks to Steve Bannon, who is openly questioning whether Elon Musk ever should have had classified clearances that aren't even granted to weapons contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Scott Galloway also gets in on the beat down on Musk, though he sort of misses the key point which is that Musk (or any individual for that matter) should hold that much power. And we check in on Ezra Klein, who's taken to the pages of his local paper the New York Times to further make the case for the Abundance Agenda. We also take some calls from listeners. Tune in!

2515 - Marines Deployed to LA to Defend Trump's Immigration Crackdown

It's an Emmajority Wednesday (I know, we're as confused as you are) and we have two great guests for you today. First, we cover Donald Trump's ominous threats to protesters who are upset about ICE raids in Los Angeles and around the country. After that, Emma talks to journalist and author Omar El Akkad about his new book "One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" which reckons with the failure and refusal of the West to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Get Omar's book here:&nbsp; And later we're joined by New York City Council member Chi Ossé about Zohran Mamdani's exciting political campaign, the left's momentum in America's biggest city and the how we can fight for affordable housing while protecting vulnerable communities. Follow him on social media, he's always putting out great stuff, and learn more about Zohran Mamdani's campaign and how you can get involved here:&nbsp; In the Fun Half, we check in on the ruptured bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Musk is trying to play cute but Trump doesn't seem like he wants to get back together at this point. The White House Press Secretary said they acknowledge Elon's recent statement but that's about it. Lol. Greta Thunberg has been released from Israeli detention, though two of her fellow activists from the flotilla, Thiago Avila and Rema Hassan have apparently been transferred to Israeli prisons where they are in solitary confinement. Greta tells reporters that the very least countries like hers can do now is advocate for an end to the genocide and to recognize Palestine as a state. We're glad she's safe, but Dave Portnoy certainly isn't. He joked about wanting to blow up her ship with a missile, though he's also gotten very touchy about jokes that target Jewish people, while he himself continues to make antisemitic jokes.

2516 -  How Gaza Exposed The West’s Moral Rot; NYC’s Left-Wing Uprising w/ Omar El Akkad, Chi Ossé

It's a Matt-jority top of the show today, with Sam joining a little later with an interview with Slate's Mark Joseph Stern about the goings on at the Supreme Court. The Trump administration is taking it's assault on democracy to the court, and there are several important cases we all need to be keeping an eye on. Check out Mark's reporting here:&nbsp; After that in the Fun Half, it's Matt, Brandon and Russ, and honestly Zohran might as well be here as well because we soak in a few of his hot clips from his appearance on the Breakfast Club. After that, Jim Cramer is stroking it to AI and Sam Altman and their dystopian and dishonest vision for the future. Yucky.

2517 - Trump's Showdown With SCOTUS And Protesters w/ Mark Joseph Stern

It's Casual Friday, and it is so casual that we have pre-taped today's show Thursday evening in order to attend Emma's wedding. Sam starts off by discussing the implications of Senator Alex Padilla being man-handled and handcuffed by federal agents while trying to ask DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. He gets further into that and Donald Trump's propensity to politicizing the military with The Nation's Jeet Heer. Check out Jeet's writing and podcasting here:&nbsp; After that, we take a look at Donald Trump's changing tune on immigration enforcement. Apparently famers and business owners in the "leisure industry" have managed to get Trump's ear, because he's suddenly concerned that rounding up and deporting vital workers in those industries is bad for business. Who'da thought?!?! Donald Trump is having a big bad birthday party on Saturday featuring tanks and planes and all sorts of military toys for the birthday boy, but he has an ominous warning for anyone planning to protest that day.
