'BradCast' 9/13/2024 (Encore: Jacque Simon of AFGE on Trump/Project 2025 scheme to gut the civil service)

09-13-2024 (53.31 MB)

Encore: original airdate 9-4-2024. On today's 'BradCast':  In Montana, Republican US Senate nominee Tim Sheehy was caught on tape making disparaging remarks about Native Americans, using racist tropes and derogatory stereotypes, at recent Republican fundraisers. A Sheehy win against incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester would flip control of the US Senate to Republicans. Montana's highest court rejected the GOP-controlled state legislature's voter suppression laws that harm Native Americans' right to vote. The far-right Project 2025 and Donald Trump himself have detailed plans to remove half a million civil service employees across dozens of federal agencies, replacing them with Trump loyalists, if the Trump/Vance ticket wins in November. JACQUELINE SIMON of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) explains the broad, disturbing ramifications of the scheme and how it would gut critical, non-partisan government operations across science, agriculture, healthcare, national security, education, energy, the military and more.  Also today:  a voting system problem in Massachusetts' primary was resolved with hand-marked paper ballots.
