Today’s notice: 50 states, 50 redistricting stories. What Rep. Lisa McClain’s OBBB sales pitch sounds like. Why Democrats feel good-ish about Iowa. And: Why the anti-abortion movement feels good about everything.

THE LATEST

Redistricting war: It’s everywhere now, which means the eccentricities of state legislatures are coming into view.

Missouri: cold feet? “I started thinking about, what if the tables were turned and the Democrats had the majority?” Republican state Sen. Mike Moon told the local press recently. NOTUS’ Emily Kennard reports that the GOP-controlled General Assembly is not as gung ho about redrawing as other states are.

Nebraska: getting curious. Retiring Rep. Don Bacon told the Nebraska Examiner that people are talking in the ol’ unicameral Legislature about how to redraw the district he represents to make it more likely Republicans hang on to it. So far the talk is “nothing serious,” Bacon told the outlet.
