b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 The Republicans' stolen and packed U.S. Supreme Court majority heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the last remaining abortion clinic in the state of Mississippi, over a law that would ban all abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy \\u2013 with the court's rightwing majority poised to overturn previously long-settled reproductive rights for women. Little has changed legally over the intervening 50 years of precedent, but the make-up of the court itself has radically shifted with the majority stolen by Republicans, who ended the judicial filibuster to pack it with three, hard-right Donald Trump appointees. Republican officials across the country are also working hard to break American democracy itself, enacting draconian voter suppression laws and installing Trump loyalist party apparatchiks in key election administration positions. Longtime progressive activist and author KENNY BRUNO warns that the GOP plot to steal the 2024 election is underway right now. Bruno discusses his chilling article spelling out the plan, how Trump and the GOP have already 'laid the groundwork for assuming the U.S. presidency regardless of the result of the 2024 election,' and that most of the conditions to execute it are already in place. Bruno also explains what actions can be taken to protect and defend democracy, voting rights, and free and fair elections, saying that knowing, understanding and sharing the information is a critical first step.
