## Resource

We begin today's show with a huge defeat for Democrats in the redistricting war initiated by Republicans last year in Texas. The Virginia supreme court struck it down yesterday on a technicality, just one day after Tennessee's governor signed into law a new Republican gerrymander that breaks up the only majority Black district in that state. With Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina all trying to change their maps, where does that leave things nationwide as we head toward this fall's crucial midterms? Learn more about your ad choices.
