U.S. Pressure and Lawmakers' Role

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report

On today's show:

It's election day in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, and if you live there, make sure you get out and vote for Aftyn Behn.

Aftyn Behn highlights the contrast between her public, open-to-all campaign events and those of her opponent, Matt Van Epps, who has been hosting gatherings behind locked gates at his mansion.

Donald Trump calls into a rally with a last-minute pitch for Matt Van Epps, claiming that Behn "hates Christianity."

Aftyn appears on NewsNation to make her final case, pledging to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA subsidies, and to fight the affordability crisis facing her district.

Jasper Nathaniel, publisher of Infinite Jaz on Substack joins Sam and Emma to provide an update on his return from reporting in the West Bank.

In the Fun Half:

Pete Hegseth is passing the buck over to his Rear Admiral as he denies ordering the strikes even though he said on Fox News in September that he was watching the strike live as it went down.

Chris Murphy believes that at the very least Pete Hegseth committed a war crime but more likely he just committed plain, old murder.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon says that they are not interested in contributing to the White House ballroom over concerns of how the next DOJ will feel about the pay-to-play behavior in the Trump administration.

Trump went on a manic posting spree on Truth Social late last night. Posing hundreds of times over the course of two hours.

As a result of Trump's late night scrolling he is left exhausted and falling asleep at a meeting. During the meeting he woke up to declare affordability a "democrat scam"

On Democracy Now, Spencer Akerman makes the point that the Afghani shooter was turned into a child soldier by the CIA when he was 14.

In discussion of the murder of the National Guard, the PBD crew continue their mission of finding the dumbest possible take on any issue.

Andrew Cuomo complains that Curtis Sliwa cost him the election despite the fact that Zohran won over 50% of the vote.

All that and more.

The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.
