On today's 'BradCast': Some encouraging developments in the global fight against fascism -- voters in Serbia finally ousted rightwing authoritarian strongman leader, Aleksandar Vucic. Voters in Brazil re-elected President Lula de Silva, blocking rightwing strongman Flávio Bolsonaro, son of imprisoned authoritarian Jair Bolsonaro. The rightwing Trump Administration launched unprecedented lawsuits against California and Alaska, attempting to pre-emptively upend the 2026 midterm election results. Attorney THERESA J. LEE of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project discusses the two cases, which are clearly intended to "manufacture doubt" and create pretext to challenge the results; how the Trump Justice Department's actions are deeply destructive to democracy; preparations underway now to ensure election integrity; how citizens can help protect the vote; and much more. Trump's Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey for a third time.
