Every judge on Missouri's Supreme Court agreed that the congressional map Donald Trump wanted has never been the law.
Missouri redrew its map last year at Trump's request to erase the Democratic district in Kansas City. More than 300,000 voters responded with a petition demanding a referendum, which under the state constitution freezes a law the day it is filed. Missouri held last month's primary under the frozen map. The court ruled unanimously today that voters will decide the map in November for the first time since 1922, and that the districts Missouri just voted in never existed.
Republican Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the vote, saying that letting voters instead of politicians decide leaves "every Missouri voter" disenfranchised. Trump called the ruling ridiculous and said the old map was "Ancient History!" It was drawn in 2022.

Donald Trump's Justice Department told the states to turn in their immigrants or their neediest families will lose their welfare checks.
Every state shares $16.4 billion in cash aid for needy families. For 28 years only welfare offices had to report undocumented immigrants to Washington. Now every state agency must, including the DMV and the board that licenses people who cut hair.
The government said the change "does not impose new obligations on states," then added that they can always give up the money. Every mob movie has the scene where the man in the doorway is sorry to bother you and would hate to see anything happen to the store. This time the people who get hurt are the families who need help the most.
