1/16 White House Panicked Over ICE Optics?; Democrats Preemptively Cave w/ David Dayen

January 16, 2026

It’s Casual Friday on the Majority Report

On today’s program:

TPUSA post harrowing footage of “left-wing radicals” using jugs of water to freeze a 12″ wide strip of ice in front of the entrance to a federal building as if this were anything other than a goofy prank.

Tom Homan says he is pushing for the U.S. Government to create a database to be used to dox protestors. I think history will use that database to identify heroes of the day.

David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect and co-host of the Organized Money podcast, joins Sam and Emma to wrap up the week’s news.

In the Fun Half:

ICE agent claims that he is getting paid $200k a year even though he only went to high school and “would do this for free”.

To support critical Minneapolis resistance to the ICE invasion, check MPLS Mutal Aid.

Karoline Leavitt has an emotional breakdown in the face of being asked a mildly challenging question from a reporter about ICE’s abuses.

Ben Shapiro presses Gavin Newsom on his press office claiming that the murder of Renee Good was “state-sponsored terrorism” and Gavin offers zero pushback to Shapiro.

Comedian Connor Stumm makes a funny reel showing how MAGA would have acted during the Revolutionary War.

Scott Jennings is goated into admitting that trans women are women on the Adam Friedland Show.

All that and more
