Noteworthy results from primaries in AL, GA, ID, KY, OR, and PA. In Alabama, the GOP-controlled legislature caused massive voter confusion after cancelling select U.S. House races to redraw their US House maps to eliminate Black-majority voting districts. Donald Trump's conservative adversary Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who championed legislation to release the Epstein Files, lost his re-election bid. A Tennessee court approved a major settlement for a man falsely jailed for posting political content. Two Capitol Hill police officers attacked in the January 6, 2021 insurrection filed suit to block Trump's unlawful $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund/grift machine for Trump supporters, including Jan. 6 insurrectionists.]]></itunes:summary>

NAACP launches 'Out of Bounds' campaign calling on black athletes and supporters to boycott universities in eight Southern states where GOP-controlled legislatures are eliminating majority-Black voting districts. If Georgia voters oust far-right state supreme court justices, Republicans will try to undo the election. Corrupt Donald Trump endorsed corrupt Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in bitter, expensive US Senate primary runoff. Trump's wildly corrupt $1.8 billion Justice Department slush fund 'deal' prohibits the IRS from investigating or auditing Trump, his family, and his companies. Wildfire season is off to a dangerous start in California and New Mexico. Plus our new 'Green News Report.']]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Robert Weissman, Public Citizen
Donald Trump has invented a new way to grift the nation with an unspeakably corrupt, taxpayer-funded Trump/Justice Department scam to create a $1.7 billion slush fund, operated by Trump himself, to distribute to his supporters and cronies. ROBERT WEISSMAN of Public Citizen explains the unprecedented scheme and what can be done about it. The World Health Organization declared a global health emergency over an Ebola outbreak in Africa. Mild Trump critic Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-VA) lost his primary bid for re-election. Protesters rallied in Selma, AL to protest the return of Jim Crow voter suppression laws as Southern states move to eliminate Black-majority U.S. House districts. Wildfire in Simi Valley. Mosque mass shooting in San Diego.]]></itunes:summary>

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Harold Meyerson, Editor-at-Large, The American Prospect 
Original airdate 5-4-2026. Gas prices are soaring as Donald Trump's War on Iran remains unresolved. The Trump Administration ignored the 60-day deadline to seek congressional approval for the Iran War. A CA initiative to levy a one-time wealth tax on the state's billionaires has qualified for the November ballot, but Google co-founder Sergey Brin is funding a misleading, opposing measure to negate it. The American Prospect's HAROLD MEYERSON explains the wealth tax proposal, pros and cons, and much more. GOP-controlled states moved quickly to eliminate majority-Black districts from their U.S. House maps after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. A warning for California voters about late-arriving mail-in ballots.]]></itunes:summary>

To counter the rightwing U.S. Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and GOP states suspending their primary elections to draw new, racially re-gerrymandered U.S. House maps, Maryland's Democratic Gov. Wes Moore is pushing his state legislature to quickly redraw the state's voting maps. Georgia's GOP governor signed legislationl to change election rules only for Black-majority Atlanta, and will re-gerrymander the state's House maps far in advance of the 2028 election in case the GOP loses power. Primary elections next week in AL, GA, ID, KY, OR, and PA. Montana judge upholds same-day registration to protect Native American voters. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.']]></itunes:summary>
