## Resource

Republicans are racking up major victories in the courts, on redistricting, and through the Trump administration’s policy wins — but will they finally capitalize on the moment? Todd dives into the Supreme Court’s Alabama redistricting decision, the media meltdown over congressional maps, and why Democrats suddenly fear the same political tactics they perfected for years. Plus, Todd examines new claims from Monica Crowley and FBI Director Kash Patel regarding possible evidence tied to the 2020 election and discusses what accountability could mean moving forward. This episode breaks down the political stakes, media framing, and whether Republicans will seize this rare opportunity or once again fold under pressure.
