AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that a Republican redistricting effort in South Carolina has failed.
AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that due to redistricting, a long time Tennessee Democrat is throwing in the towel.
Also, Democrats need to present an alternative to GOP and their own 'status quo' & is there a pattern of campaign finance ethics issues with Bottoms' campaigns?Not only did Brian Kemp call a special session of the General Assembly back to the Gold Dome to address a mess of its own making (mandating the elimination of QR codes from voter ballots), but the already-and-disproportionately gerrymandered state - in his mind - needs another redraw. So what are Democrats to do?Well, for starters, they need to understand that they, as a party, aren't much more popular than the historically unpopular President they're trying to mitigate by retaking the House the November. My goodness, if they could provide clarity by way of a slate of candidates backing a populist message that's centered on the working class, eschewing 'Third Way' "baby steps pragmatism" for a bold visionary agenda, the places they could ascend to!That agenda starts with fixing the way we govern and elect leaders. They include:Uncapping the House. New England California Republicans would love this because they'd finally have representation, and a nation whose voice in the House has been diluted by 1/3 since the 1930s gets its clout back.Eliminate partisan gerrymandering. Racial gerrymandering's supposedly gone, so get rid of partisan gerrymandering to ensure that, and do it before we've drawn ourselves into a civil war. By doing those two things you've already fixed the electoral college, but because it's broken, you have to also uncap the Supreme Court. Grow it to 13 to match the number of US court circuits. Oh, and Set term limits on that court.You can't tell me the American people wouldn't be solidly behind that. Call it "Project 2032" if you need to - so they know it can't be done overnight and that they (we) the voter have to stay on task to ensure we do our part to meet that date to see those accomplishments come to fruition. As Democrats, there'll be some self-inflicted pains in some "blue states," but gains to be made in others. So be it. This is how you grow your brand in places you aren't winning in. - - - I spent most of my show going off on that tangent, but closer to home, there are concerns - and now a filed campaign finance ethics complaint - shedding light on the Keisha Lance Bottoms' gubernatorial campaign. I highlighted a lot of those concerns before the complaint was filed, but this information's readily available for anyone to gather and use against her - including Burt Jones and Rick Jackson. Heck, I got it from a Republican campaign finance wonk. Is this "more baggage" to consider when deciding who Democrats in Georgia should back to be their gubernaotiral nominee? It bears mentioning this isn't the first time such allegations have come up. Then councilwoman Bottoms, when pivoting to a mayoral run, was hit with a $37,000 fine for campaign ethics violations.

Ethics Commissioner Ariane Mignolet has found that former liberal MP Sona Lahkoyan Olivier violated two sections of the National Assembly's code of ethics. Independent MNA Youri Chassin blocked a fast-tracked plan to redraw Quebec’s electoral map. The proposal would have saved ridings in the Gaspé and Montreal’s east end from disappearing, while adding two new seats in faster-growing regions — increasing the number of MNAs from 125 to 127.

Supreme Court Enables Partisan Gerrymandering: Colleague Richard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court permitting Texas to redraw congressional districts for 2026, favoring Republicans, arguing that lack of oversight allows parties to entrench power, creating extreme polarization where "reds become redder and blues become bluer," making legislative compromise nearly impossible. 1910 SCOTUS
Todd breaks down why Indiana's redistricting fight matters far beyond the Hoosier state. He answers a listener's question about why Indiana “needs” to redraw its congressional map, explains what the Constitution actually says about redistricting, and pushes back on claims that new maps somehow “take away representation.” Todd contrasts traditional Hoosier Democrats with today's radical national Democrat leadership, warns about federal overreach on borders, culture, and spending, and argues that refusing to redraw maps is unilateral political disarmament. He also previews his remarks at the Turning Point Action event at the Indiana Statehouse and encourages listeners to make their voices heard with their state senators.

Indiana Republicans are balking at a special session on redistricting, and Todd is fired up. Why does redrawing Indiana's congressional maps matter not just for Hoosiers, but for the future of the country and the survival of our constitutional republic? Todd breaks down the “cold civil war” between two incompatible worldviews, calls out Senate leader Rod Bray for refusing to even hold an open debate, and explains how this cowardice could hand Democrats the House, endless Trump impeachment hearings, and a green light for the radical left's agenda. Plus, what real leadership should look like in a red state and why Republican voters must hold their so-called leaders accountable.
Why is Speaker of the Virginia House Don Scott trying to call a special session of the Virginia General Assembly? The story is that they are going to try and redistrict the Commonwealth's 11 Congressional districts. Small problem, that Constitutional Amendment that was passed in 2020 establishing first a ‘bipartisan redistricting commission' and in the event of that failing (which it did) turning redistricting over to the Virginia Supreme Court to name two special masters that would draw the districts. Virginia Delegate Tom Garret sits down with us to tell us what the long and short term agenda appears to be.

This November, Californians are being asked to decide whether the state can redraw our congressional districts with Proposition 50. California Democrats say Prop. 50 is their answer to pressure from President Trump on red states like Texas, which redrew its congressional maps to favor Republicans in next year's midterm elections. Opponents say it tramples on California's independent redistricting process, which voters approved more than a decade ago. This episode originally aired on Aug. 10, 2025.

John discusses Trump telling Texas Republicans to redraw their state congressional districts and make it so 5 Democratic seats vanish into a gerrymandered abyss. He also talks about House Republicans continuing to block efforts by democrats to force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Then, he speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider and they analyze the Trump administration's latest alarming moves, including mass firings at critical federal agencies like Education and State, and Trump's controversial threats to remove the Federal Reserve Chair. And finally, he interviews Cristina Jiménez. She's an award-winning community organizer and a leading voice in movements for social justice. She is Co-Founder and former Executive Director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. She came to the U.S from Ecuador in 1998 and grew up undocumented in Queens, N.Y. Cristina is a veteran organizer who helped lead the fight for DACA and resist family separation. Her new book, Dreaming of Home, was called “part memoir, part guide for community organizing” by The Washington Post.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
