Today on The BradCast<\/i><\/a> I spoke with Tyson Slocum,the Director of Public Citizen’s energy program following the explosion and now oil spill into the Hudson River<\/a> at the controversial Indian Point nuclear facility just 30 miles north of New York City and the 20 million people in harms way in the metropolitan area. What went wrong at the facility? Why is it still even in operation? And, oh, yeah, should we be worried still about what is happening at Fukushima while we’re at it?<\/p>\n

Then, I was joined by “DocDawg” of Daily Kos whose startling analysis published late last week<\/a>, documenting an as-yet unexplained plummet in voter registration forms<\/a> submitted via public assistance agencies in North Carolina since Gov. Pat McCrory (R) took office, has now lead to the threat of legal action by civil rights groups [PDF]<\/a> who see a disturbing violation of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA or “Motor Voter Act”) of 1993. Someone has some explaining to do in the Tar Heel State where Republicans there have also enacted the most extreme voter suppression law since the Jim Crow era<\/a>. You gotta check out this disturbing story!<\/p>\n

Plus, some breaking news on the jackass George Zimmerman who was reportedly involved in yet another shooting today<\/a> and a new report<\/a> finding that the Baltimore City Jail turned away thousands of arrestees since 2012 after they were brought in by police but too injured to be admitted.<\/p>\n
