8/5 Abdul Beats AIPAC; Trump’s IRS is Imploding w/ Stephanie Mencimer

August 5, 2026

Welcome back to The Majority Report

On today’s program:

Five states had held primary elections last night and overall, it was pretty good night for progressives. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed defeated Haley Stevens in the Senate primary, and the two DSA-candidates running for Congress, Will Lawrence and Donovan McKinney, won their primaries.

Mallory McMorrow wastes no time in endorsing El-Sayed for Seante and even introduced him at his victory speech in Detroit.

El-Sayed laid into his Republican opponent Mike Rogers for being a bootlicking, corporate puppet and the Democrat promised to send Rogers back to Florida.

Stephanie Mencimer, journalist at Mother Jones’ D.C. bureau, joins the program to discuss her piece: “The IRS is Imploding“.

In The Fun Half:

Bill Maher monologues on the DSA “colonizing” the Democratic party.

On CNN, Harry Enten presents some positive polling for James Talarico.

Rep. Max Miller is making the media rounds to defend himself against domestic abuse allegations and to blackmail his former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno.

Jon Stewart tries to get John Fetterman to explain why Israel is a red line for him, but the Senator can’t not understand the question.

all that and more.
