The Supreme Court Lives in Fox News' America
A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

Florida voters just sued Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to block what they call a “unilateral” and unauthorized mid-decade redistricting plan.
The lawsuit targets DeSantis’s attempt to bypass the legislature — part of a broader GOP effort to rig the 2026 midterms for Donald Trump.
