The country has entered a season of redrawn lines. Louisiana is the latest state to feel it. On Thursday, Louisiana suspended its May 16 congressional primaries after the Supreme Court ruled a day earlier that one of the state’s majority-minority districts was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

The Connecticut Democrat, 52, whose name gets floated for 2028 every time he clears his throat, fired off the reply Monday on X to a Lloyd’s List report claiming 26 Iranian “shadow fleet” vessels had slipped past the U.S. blockade President Trump clamped on Iran last week.
