From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.

This is Tangle.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of our take.

I'm your host for today, Associate Editor Audrey Moorhead, and today I am excited to stake my claim on the most important legal debate of our time, which is, of course, how on earth do you pronounce

jingles? G-I-N-G-L-E-S. Everyone, I think it's pretty clear that the pronunciation ought to be jingles,

as I have just said. But with that out of the way, in all seriousness, we are actually discussing a

pretty landmark Supreme Court decision that was issued yesterday in Louisiana

versus Calais. In that decision, the Supreme Court overturned a Louisiana congressional map on the basis

that it was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. This ruling significantly weakens section two of the

Voting Rights Act. You'll hear more from us about the background of

this ruling, what the left and writer saying about it, and then my take. But first, I do just want

to mention, the boys over on suspension of the rules took on parties and gerrymandering and the

Supreme Court decision themselves. So you can hear Isaac Ari and Camille talk about that,

as well as an exploration of the recent

assassination attempt against President Trump, the plans for the White House ballroom, and a dramatic

challenge issued by a former Tangle interview guest.

So after you finish listening to me over here, head over there and hear from them.

But without further ado, I'm going to pass it over to John for today's

intro, and I'll see you again for my take.

Thanks, Audrey, and welcome, everybody. Here are your quick hits for today. First up, the

Federal Open Market Committee voted to keep

interest rates unchanged at a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, with four members dissenting from the decision.
