b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Republicans are shamefully trying to deflect responsibility and accountability for their role in America's never-ending gun violence epidemic.\\xa0 After the horrific mass murder of 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde, TX by an 18-year-old with military-style assault weapons, the state's Republican Gov. Abbott says the real problem is actually mental illness, but he slashed $221 million from state mental health programs and dramatically weakened state gun safety laws. Senate Republicans blocked a domestic terrorism bill. A federal judge upheld a New York state law allowing the state, cities and individuals to sue gun manufacturers and distributors for endangering public safety and health. An appellate court panel ruled that Donald Trump and his children must answer questions under oath in the New York Attorney General's civil probe into bank, tax, and insurance fraud by the Trump Organization. In Pennsylvania, Republicans are attacking their own GOP candidate and suing to stop the full counting of valid, lawful mail-in ballots in the extremely close Republican primary contest between Trump-endorsed celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz and former hedgefund CEO Dave McCormick. In Oregon, a very tight Democratic primary race between progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner and conservative incumbent Rep. Kurt Schrader has stalled due to misprinted ballots that can't be easily run through a computerized tabulator. Election integrity activist SHERRY HEALY explains very concerning election security issues in Clackamas County, Oregon, and the 'insane' decision by the county elections chief to duplicate tens of thousands of otherwise valid ballots, by hand, onto NEW separate ballots to run through the optical scanners, rather than just counting them by hand.
