The Most Ruthless Thing Newsom’s Ever Done (w/ Peter Hamby) | The Bulwark Podcast
Bolton Indictment, South American Tensions, and the Battle for Redistricting Control
Gain clarity on the political weaponization of legal action, shifting US foreign policy stances in Latin America, and the high-stakes electoral math driven by state-level redistricting battles ahead of the midterms.
Short Summary
- Analyze why the John Bolton indictment appears more legally substantial than previous actions against Trump critics, even if politically motivated.
- Assess the risks of potential US military involvement or regime change pressure in Venezuela, linked to Senator Rubio’s influence.
- Detail how California's Proposition 50 aims to create Democratic seats via gerrymandering, contrasting with potential massive Republican gains if the Voting Rights Act (VRA) is struck down.
- Examine the controversial strategy of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) intervening early in primaries in Maine and Michigan.
This discussion breaks down four major political fault lines: a unique legal development involving a former Trump official, escalating US posture toward Venezuela, the technical but critical fight over electoral maps, and internal Democratic primary maneuvering. Understanding these issues is crucial as state and federal politics diverge ahead of the major elections.

I expect Stephen Miller was shut up in a locker in high school. He's obviously never gotten over it.
When all this is over, America needs to have its own version of the Nuremberg trials. 🇳🇿
I’m all for independent redistricting, but I’m 100% for California making an exception to fight back. It’s unfortunate but necessary.
I don't like Prop 50. I wish there were national anti-gerrymandering law. But we have to fight fire with fire and take back the Congress in order to stop tyranny. So, I'm voting Yes.
AND YET... violence IS on the right, not the left. Being blamed for 💩 we didn't do.
Latina here.. all in with the YES Vote on PROP 50!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Zohran is cool because he doesn't have to try...he's genuine.
If John Bolton had testified against Trump when he was requested, instead of hawking his book, i might feel sorry for him. If he mishandled classified docs on purpose, he should be punished. Trump should have been prosecuted.
His ignorance shows his racism, and his racism shows his ignorance.
You know who has a lot to answer for? These red state governor's who routinely come in in the bottom third of every measurable quality of life statistic known to mankind.
