Plus: a 57-year jobless claims low, the Trump IRA revolution, and the pro-life SCOTUS win nobody saw coming — all in today's episode.
The Supreme Court just struck down a state's congressional map in a 6-3 ruling, and the country's two most-watched election forecasters — Sabato's Crystal Ball and Cook Political Report — are now tracking SEVEN Democratic-held House seats across the South that could flip in 2026. Two in Louisiana. Two in Alabama. One each in Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Plus Georgia's Second District as a possible additional target. Six months from the midterms, the map just changed.
But that's not even the only earthquake this week. Jobless claims just hit a level the country hasn't seen since September 1969. Trump signed an executive order that opens federal-grade retirement accounts to every American who's been locked out of one. The 75-day government shutdown ended — but ICE and Border Patrol got cut out of the deal. And the Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY slapped down a blue state attorney general for going after pro-life pregnancy centers. Dear God in heaven, the watchman has been on the wall this week.
