On today's 'BradCast': The Trump Administration has appealed to the US Supreme Court to block a ruling striking down his unconstitutional executive order requiring the US Postal Service block delivery of vote-by-mail ballots in states that refuse to play by Trump's unlawful rules. Progressive radio host THOM HARTMANN discusses his new article detailing cycles of oligarchy through U.S. history, and how each time, pro-democracy Americans have joined forces to defeat them. Hartmann explains that November 2026 elections offer the next opportunity to stop the 'fourth assault on American democracy' and details potential Republican schemes to hold on to power, block Democrats from taking control of Congress, and much more. Callers weigh in.
