Summary

On Tuesday, a federal court blocked Texas from using its newly drawn congressional map in the 2026 midterms– a decision now in limbo as Republicans look to the Supreme Court for a potential reversal. Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) joins the Rundown to voice his disappointment with the ruling, denounce what he calls racially motivated gerrymandering allegations, and addresses the ongoing investigation into gunman Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Trump at a rally. The rules are about to change for the millions of users who go on the popular gaming platform Roblox. They’re introducing new age-restriction tools after lawsuits accused the platform of failing to protect children from online predators. Eliza Jacobs, Senior Director of Product Policy at Roblox, joins the Rundown to break down their new age verification system and why she believes it could become the industry standard for protecting children from online threats. Plus, commentary by 'Ruthless' podcast co-host Michael Duncan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
