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: https://www.wired.com/author/makena-kelly/ 

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: https://boltsmag.org/how-volunteer-patrols-are-working-to-protect-san-diego-immigrant-communities-from-ice/

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.  Go figure.

Here's the link to the petition that a commenter mentioned to stop Ohio Senate Bill 1 which would hurt freedom of speech and higher education: https://ohsb1petition.com/

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

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.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

Welcome to the week people. Republican leaders are still trying to jam major cuts to Medicare, food stamps and other vital programs down our throats in the form of the Big Beautiful Bill, some GOP members have had to face tough questions from their constituents about how those cuts will effect them. But after being called out last week for making cuts that will ultimately kill many of her constituents, Republican Senator Joni Earnst says that we'll all die one day. Now she's released a cynical non-apology in response to the controversy.

After that, Science journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker is here to discuss his new book More Everything Forever. Check it out here:

https://mitpressbookstore.mit.edu/book/9781541619593

As well as Adam's piece in the Guardian on the same subject:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/03/tech-oligarchs-musk

In the Fun Half, Elon Musk sits down for an interview with CBS News but only wants to talk about rocket ships and seems upset that he's being asked about the Trump administration. Hakeem Jeffries gives the most limp nothing of an answer when asked what he's planning to do in response to federal agents entering the offices of Congressman Jerry Nadler and cuffing one of his aids, which came weeks after federal agents arrested Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. And people in San Diego spontaneously protest ICE agents as they raid local establishments.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

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: https://prospect.org/power/2025-05-27-golden-age-of-scams/

And check out David's other pieces and podcasts at The American Prospect here: https://prospect.org/

In the Fun Half, Karoline Leavitt has a real wackadoodle justification for the legality of Trump's tariffs. A hero on Martha's Vinyard has been following around ICE agents with a camera, hounding them with questions and justified hectoring. Zohran Mamdani has some positive polling numbers with less than a month left to go before the New York mayoral primary. And Charlie Kirk embarrasses himself at a at a Cambridge University debate about feminism.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

Happy Emmajority Report Thursday to all who celebrate.

Trump's tariffs are halted by a court ruling, and he is is big mad about that and the new term TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) that's been ascribed to his tariffs by a Financial Times columnist.

After that, Taylor Lorenz is with us to talk about the persistent political impact of the COVID pandemic and the government's response to it. Check out her video we play a part of (and the rest of her YouTube page for that matter) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrjlOE9e50&t=781s 

In the Fun Half, we are joined by Thursday regulars Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton to try to decipher Eric Adams' comparison of Betsy Ross to Bitcoin. It's a head scratcher. A new poll shows the Abundance Agenda is not as popular as public policy that would fight corruption and get money out of politics. Pretty f-ing granular! And Texas is about to pass a draconian anti-trans bill.

We have The Lever's Luke Goldstein on today to talk about the GENIUS Act & 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: https://www.levernews.com/get-ready-to-pay-in-zuckbucks/

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: https://www.massgeneral.org/contact

And / or send them some love on their FB page:

https://www.facebook.com/ufcwlocal1445/

And tell the local paper in Worcester to cover this story: https://help.telegram.com/contact-us

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: https://prospect.org/politics/2025-05-28-senate-democrats-stop-big-beautiful-bill/

And finally, theoretical physicist Sean Carroll absolutely mops the floor with Eric Weinstein's physics musings.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

It's a jam-packed Emma-jority Thursday folks. House Republicans have jammed through an abominable budget bill that will gut Medicaid and lots of other vital programs. But guess what? There's more money for the military and for border enforcement, and most importantly, a huge tax cut for the wealthy.

We have two great guests today, first Emma will talk to the co-founder and editor in chief of Middle East Eye David Hearst about the worsening situation in Gaza and the diplomatic hole Israel has dug itself into. Check out his piece "Israel has already lost the Gaza war. It just doesn't know it yet" https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-has-already-lost-gaza-war-it-just-doesnt-know-it-yet 

After that, Emma is joined by South African journalist and contributing editor at Jacobin Benjamin Fogel about the absolutely bonkers meeting yesterday between Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In the Fun Half, Harry Enten has the numbers that show Elon Musk's rating is in the toilet, and so so is his company Tesla.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder – https://majorityreportradio.com/

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 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: https://www.memorialcare.org/locations/long-beach-medical-center

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: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/21/unitedhealth-nursing-homes-payments-hospital-transfers 

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.
