Callais last month dismantled a critical portion of the Voting Rights Act. And since then, a slew of states — largely in the South — have moved to redraw voting maps. In doing so, they’re eliminating majority-Black voting districts. There are not many people who have done more to fight for Black voting power and for the rights of Black voters in the South than Stacey Abrams, host of Crooked Media’s Assembly Required . So we talked to her about the racist implications of Louisiana vs. Callais and where we go from here. And in headlines, Senate Republicans once again block legislation that would halt President Donald Trump’s war of choice with Iran , Vice President JD Vance takes more steps in the administration’s anti-fraud initiative , and a Politico analysis finds that the Trump administration has lost in court more than 10,000 times in ICE detention decisions .
