Good morning, everyone! Before we dive in to today’s Q&A issue, I want to quickly plug my piece from the Supreme Court’s tariff arguments yesterday in case you missed it:

It’s only because of your support that I’m able to report from inside the Supreme Court and other government institutions. I’m so grateful, and I hope you found my reporting to be informative.

If it’s Friday, it’s time to answer your questions! This week, we’ll tackle:

  • Where the gerrymandering wars stand: who is winning?

  • Where the shutdown fight stands: how did the elections play a role?

  • My take on the 2025 elections: do I stand by saying that these elections don’t have much predictive power?

  • A look at how the polls did in 2025: when is getting a race right actually a sign of error?

  • And what’s behind the GOP refusal to return to Washington: why I don’t buy that the Epstein Files is the dominating factor.

Let’s do it…

Q: Gabe, Give us an overview of the states’ redistricting moves: how will it net out if all actual and proposed moves are implemented.
