The Gerrymandering Death Spiral

About this episode

Sarah and Beth discuss the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on the Voting Rights Act and its impact on gerrymandering, along with a look at Trump's fiscal promises and reflections on children's prom season.

Sarah and Beth break down the Supreme Court's decision gutting the Voting Rights Act and what it means for the gerrymandering arms race reshaping our electoral map. They check on Trump's promises to lower prices and fix our fiscal house. Outside of Politics, prom season has them asking whether we've over-structured — or under-structured — life for our kids.
