The Supreme Court gutted a key piece of the Voting Rights Act,
and Louisiana lawmakers are moving fast to redraw district maps
ahead of this year’s midterms. The decision could help
Republicans’ chances to hold on to their House majority, while
delivering a blow to Black representation in Congress.

Conspiracy theories spread fast after last weekend’s attempted
attack on the president. Some people said without any evidence
that it was staged as a distraction from the Iran War or Trump’s
approval numbers, or even a ploy to get the White House ballroom
built. What do you do when conspiracy theories move faster than
facts?

Plus, King Charles III’s charm offensive to mend U.S.-U.K.
relations, which are at an historic low because of Britain’s lack
of support for the Iran War. We look at if that can be fixed with
a royal touch. Mo Elleithee joins on the left, and Sarah Isgur is
with us from the right.
