## Resource

Good morning, Lemon Nation 🍋 A lot to unpack this morning. Iran has responded to Donald Trump’s latest proposal with a new set of demands that Trump is already calling “unacceptable.” So where does this go from here? Are we heading toward another escalation just as people were hoping tensions might cool down? Meanwhile, the redistricting battles continue to intensify across the country, with growing concerns about what these fights could mean for voting rights, representation, and the future of the midterms. And then there’s the growing hantavirus scare. Cruise passengers have finally been released, but 17 Americans are now being quarantined in Nebraska after possible exposure, and at least one American passenger has already tested positive.
