## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': It's good practice to not trust the Trump Administration's statements on its ongoing negotiations with Iran unless Iran confirms it. Voters head to the polls in New York, Maryland, Utah and South Carolina, where Donald Trump endorsed both Republican gubernatorial candidates to avoid embarrassment. The corrupted rightwing supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a lower court to restrict assistance to disabled voters and others, again overturning decades of precedent to gut another section of the Voting Rights Act. A federal judge blocked the administration from accessing Americans' most sensitive data to wrongly purge voters from the rolls. GOP dark money groups hid behind liberal-sounding names to secretly influence Democratic primary elections. Some Senate Republicans say they won't pass the voter-suppressing SAVE Act. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
