Summary

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Marco Rubio goes on Fox News to justify the war with Iran. Pete Hegseth defends it while testifying before Congress on the budget. It appears that the administration has spent more time figuring out how to sell the war than how to execute it.

Liz Pancotti, managing director of policy & advocacy at the Groundwork Collaborative, joins the program to discuss Kevin Warsh's likely nomination as Fed chair and Jerome Powell's last FOMC meeting.

Yuh-Line Niou, running for New York State Senate in District 27 in Lower Manhattan, joins the show for a conversation about her campaign.

In the Fun Half:

On Pod Save America, Jon Favreau does a great job of relentlessly pushing DNC chair Ken Martin on his failure to make good on his promise of releasing the autopsy of the 2024 elections.

AOC dog walks EPA commissioner Lee Zeldin right into admitting he lied previously when he claimed to not have any meetings with Bayer concerning legal issues surrounding glyphosate.

In an exchange between Lee Zeldin and Rep. Josh Harder (D-CA) over the government raising the allowed amount of mercury pollution coming from coal plants, Zeldin loses his temper and acts out like a toddler.

All that and more.
