The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Grant explains what that means for your vote, your district, and the next election. Plus: four massive government deadlines expire TONIGHT, Congress goes on recess, and we learn the truth about six Americans killed at a base in Kuwait with zero protection.

Today's episode breaks down:

  • The Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais and why it sets American elections back 45–65 years
  • Which Southern states are already redrawing district maps, and what that could mean for 12–14 House seats
  • Why Chief Justice John Roberts has been working toward this moment since the Reagan administration
  • DHS funding finally passing, what it covers and what it doesn't
  • The Farm Bill, FISA/Section 702, and what's still unresolved tonight
  • The Iran War Powers Act deadline: midnight tonight, and the House just went on recess
  • The $25 billion cost of the Iran war and a Pentagon hearing about six Americans killed at an unprotected base
