## Resource

Another chaotic week is behind us, and today we look back at the stories that shaped it, and ahead to what could come next. Donald Trump traveled to China to meet with Xi Jinping, but despite all the headlines and hype, many Americans are still wondering what actually came out of the trip. Back home, the redistricting battles continue to escalate, with republicans passing multiple congressional maps that will weaken Black political representation. At the same time, a growing movement is asking whether athlete activism could become a real force in the fight back. If top athletes refuse to play for schools in states pushing controversial maps, could it actually create pressure for change? And then there was the roast of Kevin Hart, a night that sparked major backlash and reignited debates about comedy, race, sexism, and where the line is when it comes to entertainment.
