On today’s BradCast, I’m in for Brad and Desi again.

I review the news of the day, including Stanford University’s changes in sexual assault procedures, George Takei’s plea to Donald Trump to take nuclear weapons seriously, flying accusations of false news, and a new book contract for Milo Yiannopoulos.

Then RJ Eskow joins me to talk Russia and Israel — including why he uses the word “alleged” when referring to Russian email hacks. Finally, Susie Madrak on a story falling between the cracks: the GOP effort to undercut Medicaid.
