  • Great way to stay informed!

    So grateful for Progressive Voices, where I can pick up some of the best analysis of the news in the business, and it’s almost always entertaining! This was so needed after the demise, pretty much, of progressive radio air time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'BradCast' 3/23/2026: FCC Chair Approves Unlawful Media Mega-Merger, Undermines Media Diversity
Q: Explain the 39% cap and how the FCC could waive or modify it in this case.
The 39% cap is nationwide and was negotiated between Congress members of both parties; the FCC argued it could waive or modify rules under certain circumstances, but critics say the justification for waiving it here is weak, and other legal scholars question the authority to do so.
'BradCast' 3/24/2026: SCOTUS arguments to block late arriving mail ballots
Q: Do the guests see a realistic basis for the Republican concerns about fraud?
They argue that there is little mass evidence of fraud from mail voting and that fear-based arguments have been used to push for restrictive measures, rather than grounded legal justification.
'BradCast' 3/24/2026: SCOTUS arguments to block late arriving mail ballots
Q: What would be the practical consequence if the court rules against late-arriving ballots?
It could invalidate grace periods, raise the bar for vote-by-mail, and potentially disenfranchise military and overseas voters, while creating chaos for states' election administration ahead of primaries and midterms.
'BradCast' 3/24/2026: SCOTUS arguments to block late arriving mail ballots
Q: What is the so-called legal theory about election day the plaintiffs are using to argue against late-arriving ballots?
The theory claims Congress prohibited states from counting late-arriving ballots by defining election day with the phrase 'the day,' implying a strict one-day window. The guest argues this is not supported by statutes or by historical practice, and that many states have long accepted grace periods for late ballots.
'BradCast' 3/25/2026: Trump Over a Barrel in Iran, with Heather Digby Parton of Salon, 'Driftglass' of 'Pro Left Podcast'
Q: What do you think the immediate goals of the U.S. in the Iran conflict are, and how realistic are those goals?
The guests suggest the public justification has been murky, with emphasis on leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and strategic realignments, while warning that the administration's messaging and actions may be more about signaling than achieving a clear, durable objective.
