Summary

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Graham Platner is accused of raping a woman in 2021 as reported by Politico. Platner has lost all of his endorsements, and the DNC is threatening to withhold funds if he stays in the race.

Jake Tapper cynically tells the survivor that progressives will tell her that they don't care about the sexual assault and will vote for Platner anyway because they just need to win.

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy claims that when Republicans have a bad candidate then they get rid of them.

Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen joins the program to discuss his piece entitled: "Corporate Supremacist Super PACs Drive $500 Million Midterm Spending Surge."

Brennan Gilmore, Executive Director of Clean Virginia, joins to discuss Virginia's fight against unchecked proliferation of data centers throughout the state.

In the Fun Half:

Wall Street Journal reports that New York City has not built apartments at this rate since 1965.

Scott Jennings claims on X that he spoken to the reportedly brain-dead Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes about Senate history and more.

Marc Andreessen says that Dr. ChatGPT is better than any human doctor.

All that and more.

0:00.0	Hey folks, as you may know, I became a cat mom last year of two bonded brothers. They're
0:07.6	incredibly sweet. Sweet. They're incredibly sweet off to a great start. And they are absolutely
0:19.4	adorable. Stop Ryan.
0:21.6	I love taking care of them.
0:25.6	I had never had cats growing up, so I didn't know exactly what to do.
0:28.6	And it was great to have such a great sponsor of our show, Smalls, to get me started.
0:35.6	Because I didn't even realize this until I became a cat parent.
0:40.9	Male cats need all of this hydration.
0:43.3	They can get kidney problems if they don't drink enough fluids.
0:47.7	And Smalls has been super helpful with that.
0:51.8	And I can just tell when I brush them, when I pet their coat, they are super healthy.
0:58.1	It shows up in their coat. Smalls's fresh cat food is protein packed and their recipes are made
1:03.8	with preservative free, 100% human-grade ingredients that you'd find in your fridge and it is delivered
1:09.4	right to your door since switching the Smalls.
1:12.0	As I mentioned, I've noticed improvement in their coats and in their energy.
1:15.4	They're super lively and sweet and cuddly because they know that Smalls is coming.
1:22.0	Smalls' fresh, gently cooked food is made without preservatives, a balanced diet leads to less shedding, fewer hair
1:27.8	balls, and a more silky shine in their coat. More of the nutrients and Smalls's food
1:33.4	are digestible, so less junk comes out the other end, if you know what I'm saying. Smalls'
1:38.5	cat food leads to high protein and improved hydration. That equals strong bones and toned muscles. Cats use protein as their
1:45.9	main source of energy. More protein means more fuel and sustained energy. Forbes ranked smalls the
1:52.8	best overall cat food and BuzzFeed says my cats went completely ballistic for this stuff.
