Summary

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report

On today's program:

The courts have denied the Trump administration's attempt to block federal funding for SNAP. Despite that victory, seven Democrats and Senator Angus King joined Republicans to reopen the government.

Angus King (I-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) defended their votes—King arguing that "standing up to Trump didn't work," and Shaheen claiming the move would allow Democrats to draft another bill... that Republicans will certainly vote against.

Rebecca Traister, writer at New York magazine joins the program to discuss the gerontocracy (both in age and philosophy) that has hijacked our political system.

In the Fun Half:

ICE agents arrest a father and drive off with his one-year-old child. When the child is later picked up by her grandmother, she has a bruise on her face, a dirty diaper, and a rash.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp cannot answer a simple question regarding Nick Fuentes. It's pretty incredible to watch him reveal himself as an absolute idiot.

Dave Rubin has a new pod with a bunch of his actual friends, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you all.

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.
