## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': Donald Trump's disastrous, unlawful War on Iran remains deadlocked, mired in confusion and chaos, as his administration gaslights the public and tries to pretend it is not blatantly violating the War Powers Act. The corrupted rightwing U.S. Supreme Court supermajority is abusing its own so-called Purcell Principle, a manufactured 'doctrine' that they use to block states from making last-minute changes to voting laws. The Court supermajority corruptly ignored their own precedent when they gutted the last vestiges of the Voting Rights Act last week, allowing GOP-controlled states to redraw their US House voting maps even though voting is already underway. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
