And Tennessee Republicans proposed a congressional map aimed at diluting the state's lone majority Black district, a swift response to last week's Supreme Court ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act.

The new Tennessee map slices the county containing Memphis, a majority Black city, into three districts and likely will give Republicans the ability to flip Tennessee's lone remaining Democratic seat.

And finally, Ted Turner, the 20th century media titan who created CNN, died on Wednesday at the age of 87.

When Turner debuted CNN in 1980, it revolutionized television news, presenting news at all hours of the day and eventually inspiring other media operations to follow suit.

I'm Rachel Abrams.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, it's Rachel.

Before we start, I have a quick request for our listeners.

Do any of you have kids who were really excited by the Artemis space launch earlier this month?

Because if so, we are wondering what questions they have for the astronauts now that they are back on Earth.

You can have your child leave us a voicemail with their one big question for the astronauts at 212-556-4000.

Again, 212-556-4000.

Make sure they say their name, their age, and where they're from.

And we might use their question on a future episode of The Daily.

And lastly, if there are any kids listening to this, that's really cool.
