## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': The ongoing Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda is on track to become the worst in history, made immeasurably worse by Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their DOGE Bros, who slashed U.S. public health funding and US AID. Florida's Republican-controlled state Supreme Court relied on specious arguments to justify ignoring the state's constitutional ban on partisan gerrymanders, in order to approve the use new, partisan-gerrymandered US House maps. NANCY ALTMAN, President of non-profit Social Security Works, explains this week's annual report from Social Security fund trustees warning that the fund faces a partial shortfall by 2032, and the reasons why; false fixes promoted by Republicans who hope to destroy the vital program; how to fully fund Social Security; and much more. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
