=== Ceasefire, Unity in Fall (01:46) ===

[00:00:00]  And that part is pretty awesome.
[00:00:04]  Great.
[00:00:05]  Thank you all so much for your questions.
[00:00:07]  The fun and learning is just getting started.
[00:00:10]  For those of you here with us today, we'll start transitioning into an activity.
[00:00:14]  So turn your attention to our NASA experts who will soon be up front.
[00:00:17]  For those of you on NASA Plus, we invite you to head to nasa.gov/slash learning dash resources.
[00:00:24]  Thanks for joining us for Second Lady Usha Vance's summer reading challenge.
[00:00:28]  And be sure to print out your own reading log online at whitehouse.gov/slash read.
[00:00:34]  And past president.
[00:00:36]  Why are you doing this?
[00:00:37]  This is outrageous.
[00:00:39]  This is a kangaroo class.
[00:00:40]  This fall, C-SPAN presents a rare moment of unity.
[00:00:44]  Ceasefire, where the shouting stops and the conversation begins.
[00:00:49]  Join Political Playbook Chief Correspondent and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns as host of Ceasefire, bringing two leaders from opposite sides of the aisle into a dialogue to find common ground.
[00:01:02]  Ceasefire this fall on the network that doesn't take sides, only on C-SPAN.
[00:01:12]  This is David Weigel, politics reporter for Semaphore.
[00:01:16]  Dave, welcome to the program.
[00:01:18]  It's good to be here.
[00:01:19]  Thank you.
[00:01:20]  So just remind us about what's going on in Texas and how we got to this point.
[00:01:25]  Yes, we could probably start with the Republicans' moves over the last couple of weeks.
[00:01:30]  So Texas, like every other state, drew new maps in 2021 after the census.
[00:01:36]  The Supreme Court had determined 20 years ago that states, starting with Texas, can redraw their maps mid-decade.
[00:01:43]  But the Trump administration wanted Texas to draw new maps.
