Zerlina Maxwell and Josh Barro: We Are in a Bad Place

Zerlina Maxwell and Josh Barro: We Are in a Bad Place

Gerrymandering has always been partisan, but what's happening in Texas is straight-up racial politics. Republicans are targeting and trying to disenfranchise black voters while betting that Latino voters will stick with them. And because Trump hasn't had a lot of luck making the furor over Epstein and Ghislaine go away, JD is stepping in to host a totally 100% aboveboard damage control session at his house—with the top officials at the DOJ. Plus, the U.S. had almost zero job growth in May and June, the economy is slowing, and prices are ticking up.

Josh Barro and Zerlina Maxwell join Tim Miller.
