3682 - Corporate PACs Splurge; Virginia’s Data Center Revolt w/ Robert Weissman, Brennan Gilmore

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

Graham Platner is accused of raping a woman in 2021 as reported by Politico. Platner has lost all of his endorsements, and the DNC is threatening to withhold funds if he stays in the race.

Jake Tapper cynically tells the survivor that progressives will tell her that they don't care about the sexual assault and will vote for Platner anyway because they just need to win.

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy claims that when Republicans have a bad candidate then they get rid of them.

Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen joins the program to discuss his piece entitled: "Corporate Supremacist Super PACs Drive $500 Million Midterm Spending Surge."

Brennan Gilmore, Executive Director of Clean Virginia, joins to discuss Virginia's fight against unchecked proliferation of data centers throughout the state.

In the Fun Half:

Wall Street Journal reports that New York City has not built apartments at this rate since 1965.

Scott Jennings claims on X that he spoken to the reportedly brain-dead Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes about Senate history and more.

Marc Andreessen says that Dr. ChatGPT is better than any human doctor.

All that and more.
