This morning, we’re heading to Texas, where the GOP’s gerrymandering circus is back in full swing. After a two-week standoff, Democrats who fled the state to block the vote are finally returning. So… what now? Does this mean the GOP gets their rigged maps, or is there still a fight to be had? And more importantly, what does this mean for the future of elections in Texas, and how will other states respond? Because if Texas pulls it off, you can bet MAGA lawmakers elsewhere will be taking notes. This episode is brought to you by Brickhouse Whey Protein.

In Washington, D.C., masked and unidentified officers violently detained a delivery driver, an incident that feels less like America and more like a bad dystopian reboot. What is this country coming to? And Trump isn’t stopping there. He has suggested he could send troops into other Democratic-led cities in a full-on authoritarian flex to control places that don’t support him. Constitutional? Not really. Dangerous? Absolutely. Let's break it all down, because if this is the new “law and order,” we should all be very concerned. This episode is brought to you by Brickhouse Whey Protein.
