Maggie dives into the turbulent world of gerrymandering with Congresswoman Gwen Moore, fresh from the Texas legislative battles in Austin. Moore breaks down the consequences of mid-decade redistricting, revealing how it has turned democracy into a contest where elected officials choose their voters, not the other way around. Together, they explore the racial and partisan dimensions of gerrymandering and emphasize the urgent need to strengthen the Voting Rights Act. The conversation also touches on Wisconsin’s severe flooding, examining FEMA’s response and the broader impacts of climate change. Plus, fresh faces in the Democratic Party shake up congressional races, and a surprising lawsuit from the AME Church against the Proud Boys adds an unexpected twist to trademark disputes.
