It turns out the working class will indeed pay for The Trump Regime's $1billion ballroom at the White House. Surprised? Also this week, AIPAC announced it's doubling-down on Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens in the Democratic Primary Race for the state's open Senate seat. AIPAC is holding a fundraiser for Stevens because it views progressive-populist candidate, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, to be a threat to the U.S.-Israel "relationship." 22:53-31:24: State Senate ReaxMichigan Democrats earned a blowout victory in a crucial race for an open state Senate seat this week. Saginaw firefighter Chedrick Greene earned 60% of the vote over the MAGA Republican candidate for the 35th state senate district, which includes Bay, Midland, and Saginaw Counties. It was another race where Democrats outperformed their 2024 numbers, and Pat explains what that could mean for the primary and general election races later this year. 31:25-39:00: Last Call--We're In a Populist MoodIn this week's "Last Call," Pat comments on some statements and conclusions made by pollster Richard Czuba during a recent edition of "Off The Record with Tim Skubick" on WKAR in Lansing. 39:01-41:56: EndingPlease, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!Music provided by Wanderbeats.

She's voted in favor of giving the regime broad surveillance powers, of passing a pro-corporate farm bill, and for MAGA anti-immigration and pro-ICE bills. And McDonald-Rivet released a statement critical of how delegates acted and voted at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention, in which her sister lost party's attorney general nominating race. Pat Johnston talks about McDonald-Rivet's record, and why it's a stark example of what working class voters don't want from their representatives in this day of The Trump Regime. In this week's "Last Call," Pat shares his thoughts on the Supreme Court's MAGA majority's decision to essentially eradicate the Voting Rights Act. 48:38-50:46: EndingPlease, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!Music provided by Wanderbeats.

Most of it is due to surging gas prices, thanks to The Trump Regime's and the Israeli right wing government's illegal war on Iran. Combine this with the harm and damage The Regime, and its MAGA Republican Congress, have perpetrated on the working class with the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," and Trump's insane tariffs, it's no wonder working class voters are irate and demanding drastic changes to shift the scale away from The Epstein Class, and back towards the working class.

Protesters argued for a new direction where the working class is finally represented and seen.

This week we spoke with AC and E, two members of the DFW Support Committee about the recently finished federal trial for 9 defendants in the terrorism case around the Prairieland Detention Center noise demo in July of 2025. To recap the case, in the midst of increased racist and nativist rhetoric, ICE and CBP snatch squad deployments ripping apart communities across the US in the first year of Trump 2.0, and the buildup of immigrant rendition and imprisonment in the southwest there was a July 4th noise demonstration called for to happen outside the infamous Prairieland Detention Center outside Alvarado, Texas. During the protest, meant to be loud enough for people held there to hear that they were not forgotten, participants used bullhorns, shouted, shot off fireworks and painted slogans. In response the staff called the Alvarado police and upon arrival the cop drew his weapon and aimed at dispersing protestors. At this point the state narrative and that of the defendants diverge: on the one hand the state argues that this whole event was a planned ambush for law enforcement by a north Texas Antifa terrorist cell in black bloc meant to draw police into a fight and then liberate the prison; on the other side the defendants claim the event was escalated to targeted gunfire by defendant Song meant to deter deadly violence by the cop and allow the crowd to disperse without bloodshed. For the hour, you'll hear folks from DFW Defense Committee talking about what evidence and arguments were presented in court, what evidence and arguments were suppressed, the strange decisions of the judge in jury selection, venue and other elements effecting the ability of those facing decades in prison to mount and defense and where we're at now with the case. This case cannot be disconnected from the Trump administration's call to name Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, to tie in projects and movements they consider to be enemies (ranging from Democrats to civil liberties groups, queer folk and immigrants rights advocates to anti-fascists, communists and anarchists and everyone in between) with the goal, some speculate, of more fully capturing the federal government under a white, christian nationalist and fascist regime.

Pat Johnston talks about how progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed not only refused to accept corporate PAC money, but they also never took money from ICE contractors. The same can't be said for Ms. AIPAC, a.k.a. Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Also, the Trump Regime sends ICE into the nation's airports to perpetuate more chaos and fear on the working class. And working class Americans remain opposed to Trump's & Israel's War on Iran. 19:53-41:00: Leif Colt of Traverse IndivisibleInterview with Leif Colt, Communications Leader for Traverse Indivisible.

We open with a discussion of this week's Trump Regime lowlights, including the dangerous Iran war escalation and Brad Schimel not leaving his U.S. Attorney's post despite being vetoed by Tammy Baldwin and fired by a federal district court. One silver lining in Wisconsin, after Robin Vos removed his block, Governor Tony Evers is finally able to sign into law the long overdue expansion of post partum Medicaid. We welcome former state representative Sandy Pasch to highlight a dangerous bill on the Governor's desk that conflates legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. The bill passed the Legislature and will be law unless it is vetoed by Governor Evers. Sandy details why the bill is so dangerous and asks everyone who cares about free speech to call Governor Evers today to demand a veto. Mark Rice, from WISDOM, joins us to celebrate a legislative victory for incarcerated people and their loved ones in Wisconsin. The bill provides access to healthcare for incarcerated people with substance use disorders through a Medicaid extension that would also cover general health care needs. We close with a discussion of the Legislature's “last spasm” of activity, including Representative Cruz and Phelps' public school proposal to use half of the remaining state budget surplus for funding public schools. Speaker Vos decries lack of Senate action on the GOP data center bill, warning it will cost the Republicans seats in the Legislature this November. Regardless, the impact is to leave the data center boom largely unregulated. We close this week's episode with a critical question for democracy: Will Trump succeed in coercing Republicans into ending the filibuster to enact his election theft plan (SAVE "Trump"Act) through the U.S. Senate.

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report On today's program: CNN airs a compilation of several members of the Trump administration and GOP politicians contradicting themselves on whether or not we are at "war" with Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the U.S. struck Iran because they knew Israel was going to take action in Iran and that would precipitate actions against American forces in the area. Annelle Sheline, a Middle East research fellow at the Quincy Institute, joins the program to discuss the war's foreign policy dimensions. Seamus Malekafzali, co-host of Turbulence podcast joins the program to discuss the on-the-ground situation in Iran. For more from Seamus subscribe to his Substack. In the Fun Half: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson reaffirms Marco Rubio's claims that we had to strike Iran because they knew of an Israel action that would lead to an attack on American forces. Donald Trump contradicts both Rubio and Johnson and claims that he wanted to strike first and that he "forced Israel's hand". Bibi Netanyahu goes on Hannity and says that he did not drag Trump into this war despite what Rubio and Johnson have claimed.

Pat Johnston explains how rather than taking action to help working class Michiganders while holding the Epstein Class accountable, MAGA Republicans are devising ways to divide the working class.

Im 246. WildMics-Special sprachen wir über Social-Media-Alternativen zu US-amerikanischen Tech-Konzernen. Die aktuellen Entwicklungen in den USA und die Nähe vieler Tech-Konzerne zum Trump-Regime werfen einen Schatten auf die von ihnen betriebenen Social-Media-Netzwerke. Wie vertrauenswürdig sind sie? Inwieweit halten sie sich an europäisches Recht und welche funktionsfähigen und marktreifen Alternativen gibt es überhaupt? Das alles fragten wir den IT-Journalisten Gavin Karlmeier.

Is that Making America Healthy Again? Then, Pat highlights how Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Haley Stevens collects pro-Israeli lobby cash in order to fund her campaign. And this week, Stevens visited an ICE concentration camp in Baldwin, MI, and sounded like she was impressed how that camp hired several female ICE agents. Stevens is the illustration of why Democratic base voters are frustrated with Democrats.16:41-38:30: Abdul El-Sayed InterviewMichigan Progressive Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed talks with Pat this week. They discuss the concerns and frustrations he's been hearing on the campaign trail, why Medicare For All is what we need in this country, his response to those critical of Democrats who oppose Israel's genocide of Palestinians, and how to fight for the working class while the billionaire Epstein Class plays by different rules.

You see, the political club organized a student walk-out protest against the Trump Regime's ICE Gestapo, and it also invited progressive Democratic candidate for Tom Barrett's seat to speak at the protest event. Rather than celebrate the students using their patriotic free speech rights, Tom Barrett wants to intimidate the students and their public school. Which illustrates how Tom Barrett is working to keep and enforce the Trump Regime's authoritarianism rather than representing the people of his district.

The MAGA Republican U.S. House passed a voter suppression bill that'll require voters to produce their birth certificate or passport in order to register to vote. That's a poll tax on working class Americans. It's an effort to suppress the working class vote to protect the interests and power of the Epstein Class. As we all know, The Trump Regime and MAGA Republicans work on behalf to protect the billionaire Epstein class. They don't work on the behalf of the working class.

By Ashley Murray of Michigan Advance "A Vote for Republicans Is a Vote Against Democracy." By Thom Hartmann of The Hartmann Report
Holy Bondi! Following a recap of Attorney General Pam Bondi's surreal Congressional hearing, we dive into this week in the Trump Regime, including: ICE agents are flowing into Western Wisconsin; Trump immigration officials testify before the U.S. Senate with a potential DHS shutdown looming; And, U.S. House approves Brian Steils' “show your papers” voter suppression bill to cause chaos in the 2026 Elections. New research finds climate change is making the Great Lakes' winters shorter, but future tracking will be harder as the Trump regime scrubs climate change data. We discuss packed PSC hearings where the vast majority of attendees asked them to reject a special electricity deal devised by We Energies for Data Centers. But will the PSC listen to the people? We also talk about a new Legislative Republican bill that would slow the revolving door between the PSC and big utilities. We close with a discussion of the negotiations between Governor Evers and Legislative Republican leaders on the $2.5 billion surplus.

They claim to care about the safety of children, but their actions say otherwise.8:14-14:31: Trump Threatens New BridgeDear Leader out of nowhere this week declared he'd delay the opening of the publicly-financed Gordie Howe Bridge as a wink and a nod to the MAGA Michigan billionaire Maroun Family, which owns the Ambassador Bridge. Even though Canada paid for the bridge, and was negotiated by former Republican Governor Rick Snyder, the Marouns want it blocked. Notice how the Trump Regime moves quickly for its Epstein Class base supporters.14:32-42:24: Josh Cowen InterviewPat talks with Dr. Josh Cowen, who is the author of "The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers."

After the madness of the past decade, it can feel impossible to tell where we're at in our political story as a country. Between Trump kidnapping the president of Venezuela, his ludicrous threats toward Greenland, and the ICE murders in Minneapolis, are we seeing the literal death of American democracy, or are we seeing the last gasps of a dying reactionary movement that has overextended itself? This week, Adam sits with Osita Nwanevu, a columnist at The Guardian and Contributing Editor at New Republic. Together, they discuss whether we're in the ashes of democracy or the fertile soil for a better America.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: So would you like to collapse the Trump Regime? Today? Peacefully? Legally? You - the White House press corps. It only takes one of you. You go into the next Oval Office Scrum, and you ask him politely for his explanation of something released by his administration, by Pam Bondi’s office, on the government website, and you read – quoting this FBI 302 interview file: “Maxwell presented (her) to Trump…by the things Maxwell said, it was clear that (she) was available…”And don’t stop reading and don’t make eye contact. THEN from the sworn affidavit, reed, quote: “I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the plaintiff that she couldn’t ever say anything, if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year old female (redacted) and that he was capable of having her whole family killed…” Quote: “the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein... under penalty of perjury even though I fully understand that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger” unquote, what SIR is your explanation SIR about when you threatened this girl’s life, sir. Just keep asking. Don't make eye contact, don't stop, don't stop talking when he starts talking. Just reel off those quotes. And the one about becoming fertilizer. And the "Calendar Girls" story (as nonsensical as that probably is). And all the others. Because we don't always see the escape hatch when it appears before us, and it just appeared. Because the Epstein Files are part of an official Department of Justice Document Dump. Their contents are Pam Bondi's problem, not you or your lawyer's. And if you don't bear down and do this job as it was designed by the Founding Fathers, you will sooner or later face one of these outcomes: you'll be arrested, you'll be replaced by some automaton Bari Weiss likes, or the country will survive and the next people running media will never consider you for work because you were cowardly when we needed your courage. Oh and you can peacefully, legally end the careers of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio and Bari Weiss and lots of others. The material is all in front of you. Just have the courage to pick it up and fling it, like he'd fling his poo at you. ALSO: Don Lemon was arrested not because Jesus but because Trump has always hated him. And if you've forgotten, I explained two weeks ago why Trump was trying to restart the 2020 crap, now sending Tulsi Gabbard to Georgia. They're sitting up not a claim that the election was fixed, but that the election was fixed by another country (hey, Nicolas Maduro, you mind taking the rap, in exchange for a pardon?) and there is no statute of limitations on THAT. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Harriet Hageman, the blob they elected to the House from Wyoming to replace Liz Cheney, is now running for Senate. Emphasize "running": she has fled a town hill. The Bill Maher Pretzel Logic: Celebrities should shut up, voters don't listen to TV and movie stars. But Bill, you expect them to listen to you. So you're saying you're not a star? And the latest Bari Weiss firing target is supposedly Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan and one of the names being thrown around (probably nonsensically) is Matt Lauer. C-Block (54:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: We need a doubleheader. I heard an audio book with a famous actor doing Thurber's tribute to what would be called Dunning-Kruger Syndrome: "The Macbeth Murder Mystery" and it was one of those rare times when I actually said "No - I did this better." So I bring it to you, and as a bonus, a second great unheralded Thurber story: "Meet Birdey Doggett." Enjoy them at your leisure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In breaking news, independent journalist Don Lemon has been arrested by Federal Agents while covering the Grammy Awards in LA last night. Michael Popok explains how 3 separate Courts in Minnesota, from the Magistrate to the Chief Judge to 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, all rejected an attempt to arrest Don and recognized his First Amendment Rights as a journalist. Yet the Trump DOJ, to distract from the en masse resignations planned in the Minneapolis US Attorneys' Office to protest the refusal to properly investigate the Pretti and Good murders, has now vindictively gone after Don.

(This episode was recorded before the tragic murder of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE in Minneapolis yesterday). On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo is joined by Siren contributor Kaivan Shroff to discuss his latest piece for MS NOW, titled: “Cell phone videos are protecting Americans — and eroding our privacy.” There is no doubt that the thousands of videos from citizens documenting ICE are protecting Americans, and in some cases, have even saved lives. In the face of a brutal regime that lies to its citizens with every breath they take, the videos are playing a crucial role in spreading rapid-response information and organizing strategies to on the ground ICE protestors. The videos are also shining a light on the atrocities ICE is committing everyday for Americans who either once supported Trump, or never took the time to deeply examine the immigration issue. In other words, the video documentation is rapidly turning Americans against Trump, and radicalizing them against ICE and the regime. A reported 73% of Americans saw the video of Renee Good's murder by ICE, and 45% say they support abolishing ICE. That number will only grow with yesterday's execution-style killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. But as Kaivan tells us, this firmly accelerates our march towards a surveillance state. He writes in his piece: “Every viral video, live-streamed arrest or crowdsourced map expands the mass-surveillance landscape in the United States. Our phones become both a shield and a monitor. Protection merges with data production, and resistance begins to resemble a corollary tech-driven surveillance infrastructure: crafted by humans, often with good intentions, but also accessible to courts, law enforcement and the Big Tech oligarchy to boot.” Make sure to follow Kaivan Shroff on Substack, and check out his new podcast here.

Is “cocaine trafficking” and “machine gun trafficking” just a pretext to the recently “cognitively tested” Trump taking over Venezuela's oil reserves and its formerly American oil company, Citgo? How do you square Trump pardoning Honduras' president from a 45 year coke trafficking sentence for moving the most coke in the western hemisphere, with claiming regime change was necessary in Venezuela because of the cocaine trade? Popok looks closely at the Largest oil reserves in the world that are located in Venezuela, and the connections between Trump's inner circle, Russia and Citgo.
