Ohio tried to fix gerrymandering. Then came the drama, power brokers, backroom deals, and full-on reality TV show-like moments that followed.
Draw the Line in Ohio tells the story of what happened, and why Ohio’s redistricting fight matters far beyond the state. Coming September 15. simonandschuster.com/books/D…

Today's @politicony Playbook covers the open primaries fight heading to 2027. 1M+ unaffiliated New Yorkers are locked out of primaries. That bloc is young and diverse, nearly half under 40, a third Black and Hispanic. NYC remains an outlier - over 80% of cities run open elections
Open primary advocates in NYC are increasingly bullish they'll get their long-sought referendum question on the 2027 ballot.
And while they don't think open primaries will hurt Mamdani, some DSA members fear it could harm their broader political project. politico.com/newsletters/new…

Kansas Republicans may again attempt a mid-decade congressional gerrymander, but two recent appointments by Gov. Kelly to the Kansas Supreme Court make the outcome of a legal challenge unknown. boltsmag.org/kansas-supreme-…

A bagel shouldn't have to be so expensive — but rising insurance costs are making businesses and landlords raise their prices astronomically.
That’s why I’m creating the Office of Insurance Affordability, to protect consumers and crack down on insurance increases that are burdening so many New Yorkers.

#NEW: Detroit is appealing a federal judge's ruling in favor of the Census Bureau.
The city sued over the bureau's method for producing annual population estimates. Those estimates help determine how much federal funding flows to public services. courtlistener.com/docket/683…

“There needs to be a bright line between government-led civic engagement and political organizing,” -- @gracerauh, Citizens Union Executive Director
Should DSA table at Mamdani's government events? cityandstateny.com/politics/…
A great example of how Republican overreaching through mid decade redistricting can also backfire @redistrictnet @newrepublic newrepublic.com/post/214089/…
One source reports DSA is the partisan group in question.
Citizens Union is calling on City Hall to explain how a partisan political organization got a table at last night's event in Brooklyn, and what they're doing to keep partisan organizing off government premises going forward.
