Florida Supreme Court rejects challenge to new GOP-drawn congressional maps
The Florida Supreme Court has rejected a legal challenge from voting rights groups who sought to block Gov. Ron DeSantis’ newly drawn congressional maps from being used during the 2026 midterm elections. The challengers, which included Equal Ground Florida, argued that the maps should not be used during the midterms because they alleged the new lines violate the state’s so-called Fair Districts amendments — which is anti-gerrymandering language in the state’s constitution. An underlying...
Where the redistricting fight stands heading into the midterms
It’s been a long six weeks for Democrats in the redistricting wars. By the end of April, the party had drawn enough Democratic-leaning seats to turn the back-and-forth over new congressional maps for the midterms that President Donald Trump had started a year earlier into roughly a wash. Then the courts acted: The U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to Republican-led states in the South to eliminating majority-Black districts held by Democrats.
Thomas unloads on Court for helping convicted murderer but ignoring 'law-abiding citizens'

The retaking of Cuba
The retaking of Cuba An indictment, a Supreme Court ruling and a carrier in the Caribbean: Washington is converting old confiscation claims into a legal machine for reclaiming the island. In 1960, Cuba took its docks, sugar and power back from American owners. This May, Washington moved to take them back: it indicted Raul Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, sailed an aircraft carrier into the Caribbean, and won Supreme Court backing for claims over confiscated property.
Another Chance for Trump to Cash Out
If Republicans lose control of either chamber of Congress in November, a constitutional crisis will erupt. A new Congress will ask questions about President Trump’s actions. The Trump administration will refuse to answer.
Redistricting war intensifies as GOP suffers setbacks in two states
House Republicans were hit with a minor setback this week in the redistricting war when two states set to redraw maps changed course. Alabama and South Carolina were primed for new maps, but a court order and move to buck the process by state lawmakers in the Palmetto State have, for now, nixed the act. It comes as both sides of the aisle are in an arms race to redraw their maps to gain an advantage in the upcoming midterm elections.
MORNING GLORY: The GOP’s choice in 2028 — more of MAGA or a reversion to the mean?
Since the triumphant return of President Trump in November 2024 — and it was a triumph, with Trump winning all seven swing states and the popular vote — the Democrats have reacted by lurching hard left, electing a radical mayor in New York City, attempting to take purple Virginia far left with a crazy gerrymandered Congressional map (which was struck down by the state’s Supreme Court as unconstitutional), and on Tuesday nominating radical (and deeply troubled) Graham Platner as their...
