Republicans just ramped up their redistricting fight to a 10 with their latest move.

And I've got four interviews this week.

I speak with J.B. Pritzker and Jasmine Crockett about the Texas power grab, Robert

Garcia about compelling the release of the Epstein files, and Medi Hassan about whether

Democrats finally found a will to fight.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

So Ron DeSantis's Florida has now thrown its hat in the redistricting ring with the

announcement that Florida is now looking to engage in mid-cycle map redrawing in an effort to

squeeze out yet more seats for Republicans ahead of 2026. And this, of course, comes after we've

learned that Indiana and Missouri are also likely moving forward with new maps, and of course, Texas, which means that we're looking at roughly

a dozen seats so far that Republicans are looking to steal ahead of midterms.

Will we see more states join in?

Probably.

These Republicans clearly are not moved by any allegiance to the concept of democracy.

So now that one domino's fallen,

there's pretty much zero incentive to speak out against this race to the bottom. They all want

their little pets from Donald Trump, so they'll jockey for a position to see who can make him

the most proud in their interminable effort to see who can nestle themselves the furthest inside of

his colon. But that's all a given, right?

Like, we know that Republicans are going to act anti-democratically. And anyone who's under the

impression that they won't, truly, truly is not cut out for politics in this moment. But

armed with that knowledge of who today's GOP is, that makes it quite clear what Democrats need to do at this point.
