## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': Today's firehose of news brings some positive signs for pro-democracy voters, but it's going to take all of us working together to make through to the November 3 midterm elections. Climate chaos summer continues with Tropical Storm Bertha soaking already-saturated ground along the US Gulf Coast. Inflation and oil prices are spiking again as Donald Trump's Iran War conflict expands to the Red Sea. Trump declared new tariffs on 60 countries, raising costs for struggling American families. House Republicans ignored Americans' economic hardship while passing a budget framework increasing Defense Department funding. Polls show voters are angry and increasingly leaning toward Democrats, including so-called 'double haters' who dislike both parties. Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report,' plus a funny new satirical song from Randy Rainbow.
