It’s Emmajority Report Thursday!

On today’s show:

After facing significant backlash, Scott Bessent makes a half-hearted attempt to walk back his comments about using Trump “accounts” as a backdoor to privatize Social Security.

Silky Shah, author of Unbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition, joins us to discuss how immigration policy fuels mass incarceration.

Then, Tim Sahay, co-editor of the Polycrisis newsletter, stops by to talk about the crumbling foundations of neoliberalism and what comes next.

In the Fun Half:

Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join us as we kick things off with Cory Booker’s passionate floor speech—no, not about Gaza, Epstein, or austerity—but about a procedural technicality in a bill he supported twice.

We break down the Senate vote on Bernie Sanders’ failed proposal to block additional arms shipments to Israel—and Bernie’s ongoing refusal to say the word “genocide.”

Plus: a deep-pocketed centrist enters the race for Jerry Nadler’s seat, borrowing stylistic cues from Zohran Mamdani, minus the actual policy platform.

All that and more, plus your calls and IMs!

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.
