It’s getting stranger and stranger around here. On today’s BradCast, I find myself a momentary bedfellow with both lobbyists and the pharmaceutical industry. But it won’t last for long.
Among the stories covered on today’s program [audio link posted below]…
- Tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (again). But Shell Oil is on the job, so why worry?;
- Speaking of oily, perhaps the plainest (if most bizarre) evidence yet that Donald Trump is a pathological liar, and why that actually matters;
- Exclusive details from the head of Maryland’s State Elections Board, on the specific “irregularities” that triggered Thursday’s remarkable decertification of election results from Baltimore in the state’s April 26 Primary Election;
- The Obama Administration advises school districts across the nation on the rights of transgender students, and wingnut Republicans in Texas predictable freak out, even as GOP lawmakers in North Carolina allegedly threaten businesses and lobbyists;
- Pfizer blocks the use of its drugs for executions in the U.S.;
- And, finally, listeners ring in on our recent episode on the FDA’s deadly new regulations for the vaping (e-cigarette) industry that run counter to scientists and doctors, but benefit Big Tobacco, Big Pharma and make it harder for smokers to quit smoking…
Strange days, indeed…
