Summary
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.
