Episode 2-18: Redistricting Everywhere All At Once, with Eric McGhee
<p>Texas kicked it all off, but now lots of states are considering a mid-decade redistricting, potentially leading to a war of all against all for partisan advantage. Is this stuff legal? Constitutional? What could each side realistically hope to achieve? What does this looks like when the dust settles? To help explain this, Seth and John invited <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ppic.org/person/eric-mcghee/">Eric McGhee</a> of the Public Policy Institute of California to join the show. Eric is one of the nation’s experts on redistricting, and his formulation of the “efficiency gap” to measure gerrymandering has been used in Supreme Court cases. </p><p>Links:</p><p>* Lee Drutman, “<a target="_blank" href="https://leedrutman.substack.com/p/what-the-apportionment-act-of-1842">What the Apportionment Act of 1842 tells us about today’s gerrymandering wars</a>”</p><p>* Seth Masket, “<a target="_blank" href="https://smotus.substack.com/p/the-texas-redistricting-no-the-other">The Texas redistricting.

Episode 2-17: The consequences of an Epstein rift
<p>John and Seth join the rest of the world in discussing the Epstein/Trump controversy and the extent to which it’s creating a real split between Trump and the MAGA base that cares so deeply about blowing the lid on this story. They talk about the evidence that actually exists to identify a rift or the rift’s closure, the political consequences of an angry and rootless base, the influence of the media in all this, and some actual evidence of savvy congressional Democrats. Plus, Bastille Day pastries and kolaches from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.soshinefoundation.com/norms-coffee-bar">Norm’s Coffee Bar</a> in Newton, Kansas.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Power and Flour Podcast at <a href="https://powerflour.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">powerflour.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Episode 2-16: The Great Zohran Freak-Out
<p>John and Seth dig into the Democratic nomination of Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral race, examining how he put together a winning coalition, and speculating why so many establishment Democrats (more in the city than outside it) have been fearful about his successes there. They also discuss what kind of effects this race could have on 2026’s primaries, and also why leading political figures from New York tend to be uninspiring or corrupt. They also discuss Czech kolaches, as well as a Minnesota restaurant that cooks only with pre-Columbian indigenous ingredients.</p><p>Links:</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://smotus.substack.com/p/mamdanis-threat-to-the-democratic">Seth’s Tusk piece</a> on Mamdani</p><p>* Article on <a target="_blank" href="https://edibleaustin.com/food/melting-pot/a-trip-through-kolache-history/#:~:text=These%20tasty%20morsels%20arrived%20in%20Texas%20along,in%20the%201850s%20through%20the%20early%201900s.&text=Not%20surprisingly%2C%20Honey's%20traditional%20kolaches%2C%20filled%20with,seed%2C%20peach%20and%20cherry%20fillings%2C%20remain%20popular.">the kolache diaspora</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://owamni.com">Owamni restaurant</a> in Minneapolis</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Power and Flour Podcast at <a href="https://powerflour.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">powerflour.substack.com/subscribe</a>
