Badlands Daily: 4/21/26 - VA Gerrymandering, ActBlue Pleads 5th, Free Speech Under Fire

CannCon and Ghost bring the Geopolitics Tuesday energy and waste no time. Ghost voted that morning in Virginia's special election on a constitutional amendment that uses the phrase "restore fairness" to push a map that would flip an almost-even state to a 10-to-1 Democrat congressional delegation. The guys break down the naked power grab, CIA-backed governor Abigail Spanberger, and what it all signals about election integrity heading into 2026. ActBlue employees plead the Fifth on 146 questions during House Judiciary depositions, while Ken Paxton files suit over foreign money laundering through gift cards. Tariff refunds hit importers as CannCon and Ghost argue tariffs are America's most powerful non-lethal weapon. The FIU bomb-joke arrest exposes how Florida's antisemitism law is being weaponized against private speech. The Tyler Robinson hearing introduces new surveillance claims nobody has been able to verify. Plus, Gavin Newsom's PAC buys its own bestseller, the House Ethics Committee drops a 28-name misconduct list, and the Lubbock, Texas voting machines fail mid-election.
