## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': Pro-democracy Americans are fighting one battle after another against our un-American President. We have lost a lot, and will likely lose much more before Donald Trump leaves office, but thanks to our deep, 250-year history of civic democracy, his authoritarian project has largely failed. Courts have blocked Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists (and himself); ordered the restart of immigration and asylum applications; restoration of national park exhibits on slavery, civil rights and climate change; the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center; and more. If the few details emerging from Trump's 'memo of understanding' to resume negotiations with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz are accurate, then Iran appears to be the big winner, so far. Callers weigh in.
