It's Friday, August 1st. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Waddey, the show that thanks President Donald Trump for focusing on the real issues.

Because sure, his biggest legislative victory thus far this term is a massive cut to Medicaid, but the administration is going to spend $200 million on a new White House ballroom.

Yes, a new 90,000 square foot ballroom.

Priorities.

On today's show, Trump lashes out at Canada for saying it would recognize a Palestinian state in September.

And get ready for more push-ups, kids, because the presidential fitness test is back. Trump lashes out at Canada for saying it would recognize a Palestinian state in September.

And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, consider yourself lucky.

But let's start by talking about redistricting.

Don't click away. It's interesting, I promise.

Because everyone's talking about congressional redistricting.

Trump really wants redistricting. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott wants whatever Trump wants,

so redistricting it is. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis wants to redo the whole dang census to pave the way for surprise, redistricting. Even California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom said Thursday that he wants a special election this November focused on.

You guessed it, redistricting.

Here he is on Pod Save America last month, where he first floated the idea of redrawing the state's maps.

And so from my perspective, if we're going to play fair in a world that is wholly unfair, we may have the higher moral ground, but the ground is shifting from underneath us. And I think we have to wake up to that reality.

So it looks like America's hottest club is redistricting. It has everything. Drawing, lines, Congress, angry people. But what does redistricting actually mean?

In theory, it means redrawing electoral districts, in this case for Congress, in ways that are

supposed to accurately reflect population changes. Typically, we do it every 10 years after the

completion of the census to figure out how many House seats each state gets.

In practice, redistricting regularly turns into the equivalent of a partisan bar fight.

But Texas Republicans are taking it to new levels right now, all in service of their ever-demanding Orange Overlord.
