John Bolton was indicted for mishandling classified material as the DOJ presses additional cases and arrests tied to extremist activity (including antifa-related charges); congressional and judicial moves on racial redistricting and election standing tilt the map toward Republicans while voter-registration shifts and state redistricting are eroding Democratic margins.
