Trump Triggers Redistricting Chaos as GOP Pushes Power Grab Nationwide

About this episode

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas discuss the implications of redistricting battles and the political strategies of both parties ahead of the midterms.

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down the battle to redraw congressional districts, as Republican-led states like Louisiana move quickly to implement new maps ahead of the midterms — while Democrats signal they’re ready to retaliate in states like Illinois, Colorado, and New York. With primaries just weeks away in some states, one key question looms: is this a strategic power play, or a logistical and legal mess waiting to unfold? Plus: new concerns about federal involvement in election data, as the DOJ seeks access to ballots and voter rolls in key states. Jess and Aaron also unpack the end of the record-setting 75-day DHS shutdown, which exposed growing fractures within the Republican party. Did Jeffrey Epstein leave a suicide note, and has it been kept from the public? New reporting — and a lawsuit — seeks to uncover the truth. And, as the Iran war nears the 60-day mark, are there realistic prospects for a way out?
