## Resource

We start with a landmark ruling from the Missouri Supreme Court, which has blocked the state's controversial congressional gerrymander, a move that empowers voters and reaffirms the principle that politicians should be chosen by the people, not the other way around. Next, we highlight an unexpected resurgence for MapQuest, the classic mapping service, as it becomes the top free navigation app following Donald Trump's controversial renaming of Lake Ontario.
