## Resource

Today I'm digging into a story that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves: the ugly power struggle inside Maricopa County's elections office, where an election-denying recorder is trying to seize control from the Board of Supervisors — with Stephen Miller's law firm involved and a ballot scanner mysteriously "borrowed" in a pickup truck. Then my old friend Sue Wilson from the Media Action Center joins me to talk about the Trump FCC's assault on ABC's broadcast licenses and why our public airwaves are worth fighting for. Plus, my honest take on why this is not the moment to primary safe Democratic incumbents. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
