About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing Midterm Mayhem and various political issues including Trump's convention and vote suppression efforts.

On today's 'BradCast': Midterm Mayhem is underway in the final two months before the critical midterm elections. Donald Trump is launching the first-ever GOP Midterm convention in Texas this week, focused primarily on himself. The Trump Administration appealed to the rightwing US Supreme Court to overturn a court ruling blocking the US Postal Service from implementing Trump's unlawful scheme to interfere with mail-in ballots, even as states have already begun sending out absentee ballots. Republican officials in Ft. Worth, Texas voted to close 92 polling places used in the 2022 midterms, including at college campuses. Missouri's state Supreme Court blocked GOP state lawmakers' newly-gerrymandered voting maps. Incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) sued 700 of his own low-income patients for non-payment. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
