Thursday, February 5th, 2026

Today, the Supreme Court allows California’s Prop 50 maps to be used in the midterm elections by refusing to hear Republican’s appeal; our friend Harry Dunn is running for Steny Hoyer’s House seat in Maryland; House Democrats warn Republicans that if they can pull former presidents in for questioning that we will do the same; the Justice Department found that Ed Martin leaked grand jury information before he was demoted; government lawyers are drowning in immigration cases and unable to keep up; Trump’s new prison camp threat unleashes massive blowback even in rural MAGA country; the super classified whistleblower report involving Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump is finally being sent to Congress; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
