The Supreme Court on racial gerrymandering and Graham Platner is the Democratic nominee for Maine Senate.

We'll discuss all this and more on this edition of the editors.

I'm Rich Lowry and I'm joined, as always, by our old friend, Dan Foster, the good neighbor, Noah Rothman, and the notorious MBD.

Michael Brendan Doherty.

I said anything.

So real quick, Noah, your book, Blood and Progress is coming out in two weeks.

You're away earlier this week, so you weren't on our first episode where we discussed

the White House Correspondents' dinner, Attack, but events continue to confirm the essential thesis of your book.

They do. I appreciate that. And, yeah, I missed being on the show, but I did hear it while I was away, and you did a fine job covering the waterfront. You didn't need me. But, yeah, unfortunately, the events do continue to bear out the thesis,

but there's a lot of skepticism about the thesis, and I'm not sure why, because it's in evidence.

Every single time we see an event like this in the immediate aftermath of an obvious or even

confirmed act of politically motivated left-wing violence, the mainstream conversation pivots

reflexively to the threat from the preternaturally

violent right. This book is an answer to that reflex. And it seems like it, I don't know if I'm

going to make a dent in it because it is so well ingrained, but it's desperately needed in this

moment of increasing threats. All right. So we'll talk about that more, obviously, in coming week.
