1/7 ICE Murders Observer, Labor Fights to Expect in 2026 w/ Keith Brower Brown

January 7, 2026

It’s Hump Day on the Majority Report

On the today’s program:

As Republicans continue to rewrite the history of January 6, we revisit footage from the riot and revisit the very different tone figures like Marco Rubio and Greg Gutfeld struck at the time.

Labor-climate organizer and Labor Notes writer Keith Brower Brown joins the show to preview the biggest contract fights of 2026.

In the Fun Half:

The crew discuss an incident in which an ICE agent, while the show was live, shot a legal observer in the street—falsely claiming she attempted to run him over, despite video showing he fired as she passed by.

As the right-wing media obsesses over the Somali daycare fraud story, Medhi Hasan highlights all of the convicted fraudsters that have been pardoned by Trump.

An anti-war protestor in Grand Rapids, Michigan was arrested while talking to the local news.

New CBS Evening News anchor, Tony Dokoupil continues his humiliating first week as Bari Weiss’ lapdog.

Tim Pool continues his milquetoast fence sitting while addressing Venezuela

All that and more.
