In this bonus episode, “Low Approach,” co-hosts Congressmen Greg Landsman and Marc Veasey talk through the latest developments in Texas Republicans’ attempts to redraw the maps and rig the 2026 elections.
Congressman Veasey reports from Illinois – where he traveled to join the Texas Democrats who broke quorum to prevent a vote on the gerrymandered map – and discusses the path forward for Democrats fighting against the Republican power grab.
Landsman and Veasey also discuss Trump’s latest trade war madness, how American consumers and businesses are already feeling the pressure of rising prices, and Trump’s firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner after last week’s awful jobs report.
