Hey folks,

This week I sat down with John Bisognano, head of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, for a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time. If you care about fair elections—or frankly, if you're worried about how Trump and the GOP are trying to rig 2026—this is a must-watch. We go deep on the stakes, the strategy, and how Democrats should be fighting back.

• [00:01:06] John introduces the NDRC and its roots in the Obama era response to Republican gerrymandering

• [00:03:58] Trump’s direct call to Abbott—and how that kicked off the Texas redistricting disaster

• [00:06:09] What’s happening in California and why Prop 50 is the Democrats' counter-punch

• [00:10:03] Why Democrats must wield power to ban partisan gerrymandering when we win again

• [00:14:01] The story of Alabama’s new Black opportunity district—and why it proves this work matters

This moment demands clarity, courage, and commitment. If you're tired of watching the other side cheat and lie their way to power, but still believe in democracy and what’s possible when we fight smart—join us. Paid subscriptions are the fuel behind conversations like this.

With urgency,
—Mike
