"These are just the bread and circus acts, but I'm glad to see the American people are resistant... I don't think this charade can go on much longer."

From its messy colonial beginnings to the modern maps that look like abstract art projects on fire, we're breaking down how this “totally legal cheating” works… and why it's making your vote worth less (or maybe not count at all).We go full civics teacher meets political therapist on:Where gerrymandering came from (and why it's still here)The landmark cases (hello Baker v. Carr, Shaw v. Reno, Rucho v. Common Cause)How racial and partisan lines keep getting blurred — and who benefitsWhy the Supreme Court pretended this wasn't their problemWhat happens if this is the last fair map we ever get?This isn't just about weird shapes on a map — it's about power, people, and the future of representation in America.

Donald Trump's use of federal forces to crack down on residents of Washington, D.C. is not well received. Neither is the crackdown by federal immigration authorities on immigrant school children. Gavin Newsom has presented his counter to Donald Trump's gerrymandering scheme by offering to voters a new district map that would only be triggered if Texas changes their map first. Jen Psaki takes a closer look at the Christian nationalist extremists who have a concerning amount of influence on members of the Trump administration. Michael McFaul offers a preview of Trump's Friday meeting in Alaska with Vladimir Putin. And Alex Jones has lost another court case and it another stop closer to losing all of his business assets to pay for the Sandy Hook Elementary judgment against him.

Governor Newsom and Democratic allies announced Thursday that they will propose a constitutional amendment — The Election Rigging Response Act — to counter Texas and other Red states' mid-decade redistricting plans. Framing the proposal as a response to GOP efforts to Gerrymander and "rig" Texas' elections next year in order to protect Republican control of congress, the proposal would replace California's current congressional district maps with new maps to be used in the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections.  The California's Citizens Redistricting Commission would resume mapmaking duties after the 2030 census.Our guest today is California political data and redistricting whiz Paul Mitchell, who was tasked with coming up with the new maps just two weeks ago. Mitchell described the process of drawing the new maps, why the redistricting effort was necessary, and tells us which seats will see the most changes.Plus-  Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics:47 Redistricting1:58 Podcast Schedule3:31 Paul Mitchell and an intense two weeks7:14 The opposition8:16 "Can we do a 52 - zero map?"9:42 "The Commission's work is the Gold Standard"12:34 Comparison to other states' process14:55 Kevin Kiley's proposal16:44 Role of AI in redistricting20:57 There is no perfect map22:47 Which seats are in for a significant change?23:35 "Young Kim gets a great district?"26:15 "There are winners and losers"28:35 It's not about the maps - it's about the fight against Trump29:40 "It is a gross-looking district"32:08 The polling36:23 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

This week, Alex, Kate, and Matt talk dead people again, this time, about why we remember certain celebrities differently than others, whether it's okay that we pick and choose which parts of their legacies to hold onto, and what it means to gerrymander our moral lines around which famous people's art we like best.

Gerrymandering, like any other legitimate political process, can be corrupted and used for dubious electoral purposes. Especially when Democrats control the map.

The Democrats are all up in arms about Texas redistricting and the question is posed: how could they gerrymander their states anymore than they already are?  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

Democrats' performative outrage over GOP redistricting is rich considering how hugely democrat congressional maps have disenfranchised Republican voters. An unhinged cable actress goes viral for showing the rest of us what true Trump derangement sounds like as a CNN news babe outs the media's abject loathing of America's 47th president.

Hi. In today's episode, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan dig into the gerrymandering arms race that could determine the future of American elections. They also obsess over Chris Cuomo falling for a bad AI video of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that is labeled an AI parody on the video.

Today's Headlines: We're ending the week on a truly chaotic note. Texas Senator John Cornyn got the FBI involved to help track down state Democrats who fled to avoid a rushed redistricting vote—one that would give Republicans five extra seats, just because Trump said they should have them. Trump's also pushing for early redistricting in other red states and floated a new census that would exclude undocumented immigrants—never mind what the Constitution says. In other news, he signed an order demanding colleges hand over race-based admissions data, and the Air Force is cutting off early retirement benefits for transgender service members. Additionally, Trump now wants your 401(k) to dabble in crypto and real estate, and he's nominating an aide to the Fed who's big on lowering interest rates. Finally, Apple CEO Tim Cook gave Trump a weird gold iPhone trophy, VP JD Vance's river was allegedly raised for his birthday kayak trip, Israel confirmed it plans to take full control of Gaza, and Eli Lilly released promising results from a study of its new weight loss pill.

Depending on who's in power, blatantly partisan redistricting may be derided as the ultimate dirty ploy or defended as a practical measure to cultivate fairer representation.

But how long can the absent Democrats stay away, since Gov. Greg Abbott can keep calling special sessions? And will Democrats really retaliate by redistricting California, New York or Illinois?

Today's Headlines: Netanyahu is pushing his cabinet to green-light a full takeover of Gaza, though the Israeli military says it could put hostages in danger. His cabinet also tried to fire the attorney general prosecuting him for corruption, but the Supreme Court shut that down almost instantly. Over in the U.S., the Trump administration briefly floated the idea of cutting disaster aid to places that boycott Israeli companies, then quickly backpedaled. India dismissed Trump's threats of even bigger tariffs for buying and reselling Russian oil. In Texas, Republicans called a special session to ram through a new, super gerrymandered map, but Democrats literally left the state to stop it. GOP leaders are fining them and issuing civil warrants, while Democratic governors in Illinois, New York, and California are now talking about redrawing their own maps. The DOJ's also been quietly asking at least 15 states for voter data. Bloomberg says the FBI blacked out Trump's name in Epstein files before deciding not to release them, while two Epstein victims told a court they still want the docs public, even if it's ugly. Meanwhile, a new poll says 86% of Americans are stressed about grocery prices, and 14% are using buy-now-pay-later just to eat. Finally, Tesla's board just handed Elon Musk a $23 billion “interim” stock award—because apparently $50 billion getting tossed by a court last year wasn't enough.

The Trump Department of Justice has discovered that certain districts in Texas were drawn up to create a racial drawn district under an outdated law. This has helped Democrats to gerrymander districts in their favor and the Supreme Court will weigh in on a similar case in Louisiana that is also in violation of the Voting Rights Act. Democrats have used this to create the effect that elected officials need to look like the people they represent to represent them accurately.
