3575 - Epstein's Influence; Left's Tea Party Moment w/ Jeet Heer, Dan Osborn
The Majority Report with Sam Seder
Intro
Sam opens the show, runs sponsor SunsetLake ad and previews today's guests and topics.
In the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 11th District, Analilia Mejia — endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and the Working Families Party — holds a 500-vote lead with 91% of ballots counted in a major upset. AIPAC spent heavily targeting the presumed frontrunner, Tom Malinowski and in turn shot themselves in the foot.
National affairs correspondent for The Nation, Jeet Heer joins the show to wrap-up the week's news. Topics covered include Epstein, ICE and more.
Independent U.S. Senate candidate in Nebraska, Dan Osborn, joins the show to discuss his opponent, Sen. Pete Ricketts role in price manipulation regarding the Tyson meat-processing plant closure that laid off nearly one-third of the residents of Lexington, Nebraska.
In the Fun Half:

Donald Trump reposts racist Ai gif depicting the Obamas as monkeys.
As Trump has gutted and weakened the IRS, experts warn that the agency may struggle to handle tax season effectively.
Americans are also learning that Trump's campaign promise of "no tax on overtime" applies only to the extra half-time portion of time-and-a-half pay — not to the full overtime wage, and they are not happy.
The buy now, pay later companies like Affirm have begun offering rent now, pay later loans to people who cannot make their rent.
Harry Enten presents polling that shows Democrats have a +39 lead with independents over Republicans on the economy.
