## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': The corrupted rightwing supermajority on the US Supreme Court issued major rulings in favor of Donald Trump's immigration policies, including a racist and dangerous ruling destroying Temporary Protected Status for refugees from Haiti and Syria and allowing Trump to unlawfully violate U.S. asylum laws. The Republican SCOTUS majority also barred another gun safety law, and shielded Monsanto/Bayer from liability over the cancer-causing chemical glyphosate. Lower courts halted Trump's unconstitutional attempts to restrict mail-in voting. Salon's HEATHER DIGBY PARTON and 'DRIFTGLASS' of the Pro-Left Podcast deliver insight, analysis, history and hilarity in discussing the 2026 midterm elections and Trump's efforts to cheat, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Iran War, Trump's Reflecting Pool fiasco, corruption and needed reforms, and much more. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.
