Two big defeats for the President on redistricting and for the second time in a week, a grand jury says no to charges against one of the President's leading enemies, New York Attorney General, Letitia James.

Also tonight, the President erupts asking when will Americans give him the credit he says he deserves on the economy as new polling shows most are dishing out blame instead.
