It's Newsday Tuesday™ with the MR crew and we'll be digging into the Trump administration's deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles amid protests over ICE raids there. Pete Hegseth tries to justify why federal troops are in LA during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing by pushing falsehoods about both the situation on the ground, the state and local response and federal policies involving the deployment of troops. Meanw...

It's Casual Friday my friends, and boy do we have a lot to celebrate. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are having an ugly public break up and we are here for it. Bit what does all this mean for Trump's Big Beautiful Bill? Heather "Digby" Parton is here to help us break it all down.

Happy Emmajority Report Thursday to all who celebrate! As if that wasn't enough, it's also AOC endorses Zohran Day, which comes the day after Zohran wipes the floor with Andrew Cuomo Day. We needed to bask in the glory at the top of the show and damn it felt good.

After that, Emma talks to Trita Parsi, the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute. He’s also the author of four books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, w...

It's an Sam Solo Wednesday, and we have the latest on the Big Beautiful Bill inching its way through Congress. Some of the cuts will impact federally-backed science institutions, including weather monitoring. Florida meteorologist John Morales tells his viewers on air that he doesn't think he'll be able to predict the paths of hurricanes this season as he has in previous years because of the defunding of vital monitoring institutio...

It's Newsday Tuesday™ folks. We've got the latest Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, as well as Chuck Schumer's efforts to fight it. Wait, no, Chuck Schumer seems instead focused on goading Trump into a war with Iran. Go figure. He also opposed the Obama nuclear deal when it was being negotiated back in 2015, despite that it was arguably the Democratic president's most important foreign policy achievement. The Anti Defamation League's Jon...

Welcome to the week people. Republican leaders are still trying to jam major cuts to Medicare, food stamps and other vital programs down our throats in the form of the Big Beautiful Bill, some GOP members have had to face tough questions from their constituents about how those cuts will effect them. But after being called out last week for making cuts that will ultimately kill many of her constituents, Republican Senator Joni Earns...

We've made it to Casual Friday folks, so loosen that collar and tune in. First up, Trump is continuing to melt down after being confronted with the acronym T.A.C.O. (Trump Always Chickens Out) and insists that he's a big strong man who is doing the best trade negotiations the world has ever seen. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent admits that talks with China have stalled and that he's not really sure when they might resta...

Happy Emmajority Report Thursday to all who celebrate.

Trump's tariffs are halted by a court ruling, and he is is big mad about that and the new term TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) that's been ascribed to his tariffs by a Financial Times columnist.

It's a jam-packed Emma-jority Thursday folks. House Republicans have jammed through an abominable budget bill that will gut Medicaid and lots of other vital programs. But guess what? There's more money for the military and for border enforcement, and most importantly, a huge tax cut for the wealthy.

We have two great guests today, first Emma will talk to the co-founder and editor in chief of Middle East Eye David Hearst about the w...

It's hump day and as it so happens technical hiccup day. But don't worry, we got some scotch tape and paperclips and have McGyvered this thing for now. Republicans in Congress are doing what they can to push their massive tax cut through reconciliation, and you'll never get who's gonna benefit from that (it's rich people). To make it happen, Republicans are now trying to sneak in cuts to Medicare.

We talk first to 

It's Newsday Tuesday™ and Trump is on Capitol Hill trying to push his Big Beautiful Bill today. Sam and Emma will dig into what's in it and why. Suffice to say, when the dust settles, poor and working class people are sure to get the short end of the stick. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem apparently has no idea what Habeas Corpus is, how it works or how it's invoked.

In the Fun Half, we bask in the glow of Columbia Un...

First Emma and Sam check in on the latest on Israel and it's ongoing siege on Gaza. Netanyahu says that he's going to allow in some food aid, but it seems to be mostly a fig leaf to shield Israel from widening criticism over the starving children and looming famine in Gaza as the IDF begins it's new, horrifying phase of their genocidal campaign. Senator Chris Van Hollen is one of a very short list of U.S. lawmakers willing to call ...

We've made it to casual Friday folks! The Supreme Court had a field day yesterday with the Trump administration's attorney over their executive order to revoke birthright citizenship. Several of the justices, including conservatives, seemed to reject the argument that circuit court injunctions should only apply to the specific case in question.

After that, the Nation's Jeet Heer is here to break down all the week's highlights (and ...

It's an Emma-jority Thursday and we got a great show for you. Emma talks to Historian and Author Greg Grandin about his new book America, América: A New History of the New World.
