Hi there, it's Wednesday.

It's the 22nd of April.

Happy Earth Day, everybody, and thank you for joining me.

My very special guest today is one of our all-time favorites, one of my closest friends.

Constitutional Law Scholar Professor Eric Siegel, the Legal Eagle, who joins me today.

Our conversation begins at 35 minutes today. And you can watch it on

YouTube and Substack and other places right now if you're a subscriber there. But first, I've got

your headlines and clips like I do every day on my daily show. I get up very early to catch up

with the latest headlines.

And last night, there was a very late one.

And let's get to it right now because in Virginia, voters came out and voted.

And it was a narrow victory, but a huge win for democracy, ironically, by gerrymandering Republicans out of their districts because they started it and we finished it.

Well, that's what Democrats like me will tell you, the Virginia redistricting referendum results are in,

and Virginia voters approved a redistricting referendum allowing the General Assembly to temporarily redraw congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms.

The measure could reshape Virginia's congressional delegation with obvious national implications as both parties are battling from control of the House of Representatives this fall.

I'll have audio from Virginia voter and the governor, Abigail Spanberger, coming up on that.

But a major win and a huge headline that I wanted to mention right off the top as I open up here.

Remember, I can't do this daily news update or any of my interviews or any of my work without your support, patreon.com slash Pete Dominic.

This is an ad-free show.

Think about it.

Even shows that have very small audiences,

much smaller than mine, have ads on them. Why? Are they making money? I don't know.
