## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': The critical 2026 midterm elections are taking shape on the state and federal level. We have noteworthy results from primaries in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Voters contended with chaos and confusion in Alabama, where the GOP-controlled legislature cancelled select U.S. House races in order to redraw their already heavily-gerrymandered maps to eliminate Black-majority voting districts. In Kentucky, Donald Trump's conservative adversary Rep. Thomas Massie, who championed legislation to release the Epstein Files, lost his re-election bid. A Tennessee court approved a major settlement for a man falsely jailed after posting political content. Two Capitol Hill police officers who were attacked in the January 6, 2021 insurrection filed suit to stop Trump's unlawful $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund/grift machine for Trump supporters, including Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
