The girls are taking the summer off — but not before breaking down the redistricting war that's about to reshape the midterms. Meseidy and Rachel walk through the SCOTUS ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, why Justice Jackson's dissent reads like a political pamphlet, and how the map fights in Texas, California, Virginia, and Florida are quietly setting up a passive civil war over House control. Then: the Senate races worth watching (Maine's Nazi-tattoo Democrat, Michigan's progressive pile-up), Tucker Carlson's New York Times interview and the dodge-and-deflect playbook spreading across the podcast world, and Spencer Pratt's surprisingly serious run for LA mayor. Final episode until September — make it count.🎧 New episodes return the first Monday of September.
