In this jam-packed episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy, Manny, and special guest Chuck from NcompassD Podcast bring the heat from NFL preseason headlines to the high-stakes Texas redistricting battle. We salute Coach Prime as his Colorado alumni shine in the NFL, then pour one out for the end of AOL dial-up (RIP to that iconic “You’ve got mail” sound).
But the real fireworks? Texas Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting push that could flip five new GOP seats before 2026. Over 50 Democratic lawmakers flee the state, sparking legal threats, blocked paychecks, and a national political chess match. The crew digs into Trump’s latest plays: missing sections of the Constitution on the Library of Congress website, economic data “adjustments,” and disappearing climate reports all while questioning what’s real in America’s digital age.
From gerrymandering games to climate dangers, and from nostalgia laughs to deep political analysis, this episode blends humor with hard truths. Buckle up.
