5/19 Racist Conservative Attack on the Second Founding of America w/ Adam Serwer

May 19, 2026

It’s News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report.

On today’s program:

Donald Trump has secured an illegal $1.7B slush fund from the Treasury that can be used however the president chooses and comes with ZERO oversight.

At a Senate Budget Hearing for the DOJ, Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) gets under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche‘s skin simply by pointing out that he was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer less than two years ago.

Adam Serwer, author and staff writer at The Atlantic, joins the program to discuss the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act.

In the Fun Half:

More from Senator Chris Van Hollen‘s exchange with acting AG Todd Blanche at the Senate Budget Hearing.

Carl Quintanilla mentions that Donald Trump has been day trading which sends Jim Cramer in to an apoplectic shock, I guess out of fear of reprimand from his Supreme Leader.

Donald Trump claims the requested $1B for his ballroom is actually not for the ballroom, it’s for the security around the ballroom. The ballroom is of course at no expense to the taxpayer, unless you count the $1B of tax dollars that are being used to build the ballroom.

Zohran Mamdani takes a jab at Ronald Reagan during his speech announcing the construction of a city-run grocery store in the south Bronx.

It appears that Artificial Intelligence is really doing a number on Jim Breuer‘s brain.

Meghan McCain proves again that she is an awful person as she attacks Nicholas Kristoff’s piece in the New York Times on the horrible abuse that Palestinian prisoners were subjected to at the hands of Israeli guards.

All that and more.
