Wider Shutdown Effects: Head Start, WIC, Flights, and ACA Premiums

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report

On today's program:

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent tells ABC News that he is a soybean farmer and so he feels the pain of the tariffs as well.

Turns out he is just a landlord to $25 million worth of soybean farms.

The American Federation of Government Employees is feeling pressure from their members to end the shutdown. In Landover, Maryland furloughed federal workers line up for food assistance in a queue that stretches down the street and around the block.

The Trump administration is claiming they do not have authority to fund SNAP amidst the shutdown, which is proven to be a lie.

Zohran Mamdani, AOC and Bernie Sanders held a rally in Queens, New York on Sunday Night packing out Forrest Hills Stadium with over 13,000 people.

AOC delivers remarks over the immigrants, freeman, and suffragists that built New York and they are the ones that will determine our future.

Zohran gives all credit to Bernie Sanders for teaching Zohran the language of democratic Socialism.

Emma Vigeland asks Zohran if he believes that a large win in the mayoral race would provide him with leverage with Albany since Hochul is up for reelection in 2026.

Hochul speaks at the rally and is drowned out by "Tax the Rich" chants. The next day Hochul claims to have thought the crowd was cheering "Let's Go Bills"

In the Fun Half:

Another patriot humiliates ICE agents in a beautiful rant after they harassed him at 26 Federal Plaza in New York.

Pete Hegseth does not dispute rumors that the Trump Administration is planning on deploying the National Guard in all 50 states in 2026.

On Fox News Stephen Miller tells ICE officers that they have federal immunity to do whatever they have to do to perform their duties.

Kyrsten Sinema, now a lobbyist for AI, speaks at a planning commission meeting in Chandler, AZ encouraging them to build a data center before the government comes in builds it without their consent.

All that and more
