Tennessee Special Election Analysis

It's Hump Day on the Majority Report

On today's program:

Aftyn Behn outperforms expectations in the special election for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, a result that could signal trouble for the GOP heading into the 2026 midterms.

Jessica Burbank, a contributor to Drop Site News, joins Sam and Emma to discuss Flock Safety—a Peter Thiel–funded, AI-powered surveillance company that is building an unregulated nationwide monitoring network in potential violation of the Fourth Amendment. Checkout Jessica's piece for Drop Site News and accompanying documentary on YouTube.

K. Sabeel Rahman, professor of law at Cornell University, joins the program to discuss his piece in Dissent magazine, "The Case for a Third Reconstruction".

In the Fun Half:

Trump convenes a chaotic Cabinet meeting; one he slept through for the most part, waking only to unleash racist attacks on Somali refugees. Meanwhile, Hegseth keeps trying to pass responsibility for his war crimes to Admiral Bradley.

Peter Thiel's guru, Curtis Yarvin shares his nazi "origin story"

Sam and Emma take a look at the Trailer for "The Voice of Hind Rajab", a docudrama that follows the Red Crescent response to the killing of the five-year-old Palestinian girl.

All that and more.
