| Warning: 'Independent State Legislature' theory to subvert democracy
|
| Warning: Next year, the corrupt, rightwing US Supreme Court will hear a lawsuit intended to legitimize the fringe legal theory known as the Independent State Legislature doctrine, a phony, made-up concept that declares state legislatures have sole authority over election administration, unchecked by state courts, governors, or state constitutions, with absolute power to overturn the voters' will and substitute their own slate of electors in presidential elections. Corrupt Ginni Thomas (wife of Justice Clarence Thomas) refuses to testify to House J6 Commitee. CA lawmakers reject unsecurable internet voting. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'

| Supreme Court guts EPA authority, and other rulings
|
| In a 6-3 decision, the Republicans' radical rightwing Supreme Court super-majority stripped the EPA of authority to regulate climate-warming emissions from power plants and act on the climate crisis, which could also curtail other federal agencies' actions. Slate's Supreme Court expert Mark Joseph Stern delves into the details of the ruling and its implications, other shocking rulings handed down by the rightwing Court in just the last few days, options for court reform, and an ominous case next term that could spell the end of American democracy.

| Noteworthy results from critical midterm primary elections in IL, CO, OK, UT, NY , MS, SC, and NE, that include 2020 election deniers, wildly corrupt former Trump officials, and radical rightwing extremists. Some results indicate voters' rising rage over the rightwing US Supreme Court striking down women's constitutional rights to reproductive choice indicate that 'conventional wisdom' over the upcoming 2022 midterm elections may be premature during these decidedly un-conventional times.

|
| Lots of bombshells on Day 6 of the House January 6 Committee hearings. Former top Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified to Trump's fits of rage at key moments as the plot failed; how Trump and his top aides knew violence was likely on Jan. 6 but took no action to stop it; Trump knew his supporters were armed when he urged them to storm the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power; top Trump insiders sought pardons for their roles in the failed coup attempt, and more. The J6 Committee also teased evidence of witness tampering to come. HEATHER DIGBY PARTON from Salon and JOHN AMATO of Crooks and Liars offer insight and analysis on the remarkable hearing.

|
| In a dark week in American history, the unelected extremist Republican super-majority packed onto the stolen US Supreme Court canceled reproductive rights, allowing states to force women into childbirth against their will, and disregarded the Constitution's plain text ('well-regulated') to cancel states' rights to regulate firearms. Justices Alito and Thomas fabricated justifications for rescinding rights, and Thomas called for overturning rights to contraceptives, same-sex marriage and intimacy. Pres. Biden detailed actions to defend reproductive freedoms and called on Americans to vote in November. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'

|
| Day 5 of the House Jan. 6 Committee's public hearings detailed another pillar of Trump's multi-pronged scheme to steal the 2020 election from the American people: his failed attempt to decapitate Justice Department leadership and install a low-level apparatchik to do his bidding. Three former top DOJ officials revealed how narrowly the nation averted an unprecedented constitutional crisis. The J6 Committee revealed that 6 GOP congressman sought pardons for their part in the coup attempt. Columnist HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon, and LISA GRAVES, former U.S. Deputy Asst. Attorney General and Deputy Chief for the US Court system, now current Exec. Director of True North Research, offer deep insight and analysis into the day's proceedings. Also: Rightwing SCOTUS overturned states' rights to regulate firearms, and undercut Miranda rights.

| Primary results; GOP election security breaches
|
| Primary results in NC, KY, OR, ID, and PA offered good news for progressive candidates and democracy, mixed results for far-right candidates endorsed by Donald Trump. Election security expert Marilyn Marks of non-profit Coalition for Good Governance explains the shocking, under-reported story of Republican election insiders in critical swing-states who, after the 2020 election, conspired with a cabal of election-denying Team Trumpers to breach secure election facilities to make copies of sensitive voting system software, what it means for election security in states across the country that use the same systems, and much more.

| Multiple failures in Pennsylvania's computerized voting systems made Primary Election Day a nightmare for voters in big counties. Justice Dept. requests interview transcripts from House Jan. 6 Committee to aid criminal investigation of the Capitol Insurrection. President Biden eulogized the 10 Black people who were murdered by an 18-year-old white supremacist in Buffalo, NY, calling for the nation to 'reject the lie' of the racist 'replacement theory' and those who spread the lie for 'political gain and profit.'

| Please donate to KPFK! New encouraging data suggests inflation has eased, but Fox News reported it as bad news. Corporate media reported imported primary results in NE and WV almost exclusively through the lens of what it means for Donald Trump rather than voters. Economic inequality researcher OMAR OCAMPO explains new report showing that while working Americans were struggling during the pandemic to stay employed, housed and fed, the net worth of the nation's 727 billionaires grew by $1.7 trillion. Ocampo explains explains how it happened, and what actions can and must be taken to reverse this obscene trend. Senate Democrats unable to overcome GOP filibuster and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) to pass abortion rights law. Appeals court strikes down CA age restrictions on semi-automatic firearm sales.

| New polls confirm that a large majority of Americans do NOT want Roe v. Wade overturned in the wake of a draft SCOTUS rightwing majority opinion doing so, and that voters prefer pro-choice candidates on a generic ballot. Former Trump Defense Sec. Esper says Trump is 'a threat to democracy.' Constitutional law expert John Bonifaz explains the latest twists and turns in voter efforts challenging the eligibility of elected Republicans who 'engaged in insurrection' in violation of the Constitution's 'Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause' (14th Amendment, Section 3).

| Today we debunk the new pretend documentary from convicted rightwing election fraudster and rightwing activist Dinesh D'Souza, "2000 Mules," which, among a host of fabricated claims for which it presents no evidence, also absurdly asserts that publicly-available cell phone geo-location data somehow proves people used secure ballot drop boxes to 'steal' the 2020 election from Trump. White Republican in AZ receives slap on the wrist for intentionally committing voter fraud, highlighting deep racial disparities in sentencing of black and brown voters who mistakenly, unknowingly tried to vote while ineligible.

| The Obamas released an eloquent statement addressing the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that overturns Roe v. Wade, ending a woman's constitutional right to make her own reproductive choices. They warn that all privacy rights are now at risk of being dismantled by Republicans, and urge all Americans to take action to preserve our rights and freedoms. Jordan Zakarin explains the latest (mostly encouraging) developments in labor rights, as a surge of workers across the country organize for better wages and working conditions, overcoming million-dollar union-busting campaigns from behemoth corporations like Amazon, Starbucks and Delta.

| Notable results from the 2022 primaries in Ohio and Indiana on Tuesday, which included a fresh round of computerized voting system failures. Federal court forced Ohio to vote using maps heavily gerrymandered by Republicans that violate the state's constitution. All of Trump's endorsed candidates won their GOP primaries, including former Never-Trumper turned Trump acolyte, JD Vance. A truly bizarre exchange in a voter challenge to insurrectionist Rep. Madison Cawthorn's (R-NC) eligibility to run for reelection. Former Trump official claims Trump asked why the US military couldn't shoot Black Lives Matter protesters in the street.
