Here is where key states stand on redistricting
Posted By: FlyRight, 9/2/2025 9:21:01 AM
A handful of states have placed themselves front and center in a national redistricting battle after Texas took an unusual step to do mid-decade redistricting and advance a friendlier map for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. The Lone Star State’s map, which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed into law on Friday, has prompted red and blue states alike to consider redrawing their own maps. California is the only state so far to tee up a potential new House map ahead of next year in response, where voters will weigh in November whether to pass new congressional lines.

President Donald Trump made it clear he would be up for using a 1900s throwback measure by reopening state-run insane asylums to clean up the streets and deal with the people who have serious mental illness problems.
Speaking to The Daily Caller's Reagan Reese, Trump talked about the success of the crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., which led to a question about whether he would be open to the government reopening insane asylums to institutionalize mentally ill individuals "Yeah, I would," Trump explained. "Well, they used to have them, and you never saw people like we had, you know, they used to have them.

Whether one loves or hates Woody Allen, it’s undoubtedly true that he reigned for decades as one of America’s greatest filmmakers. Moreover, after having been happily married for almost 30 years to Soon-Yi Previn, Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter, the scandals associated with his and Farrow’s ugly breakup seem to have dissipated, leaving Allen as a respected eminence grise.
It was in that role that Woody Allen appeared on Bill Maher’s show for an interview during which he talked about Donald Trump. Allen was unstinting in his praise of Trump’s professionalism when they worked together in 1998 on Allen’s Celebrity,
President Donald Trump shared security footage of contractors, who he claimed were responsible for a “huge gash in the limestone” in the White House’s Rose Garden. In a post on Truth Social, Trump highlighted how he was “very proud of the beautiful stonework” in the Rose Garden, adding that renovations of the Rose Garden were “completed.” Trump continued to add that days ago, while “admiring the stonework,” he noticed the gash in the limestone that “extended more than 25 yards long”
Upon reviewing security camera footage,
The left is lashing out as the9 Trump administration prepares to use Chicago’s Great Lakes Naval Station as a base for immigration enforcement sweeps in Chicago and Illinois. The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly asked the Navy facility to gear up for “limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure, and other logistical needs to support DHS operations,” according to the Wall Street Journal. The plans are still in the early stages for the facility situated about 35 miles north of downtown Chicago.
Trump border czar Tom Homan told reporters that the administration plans to dedicate a “large contingent” of forces to Chicago,
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) once again has broken with his fellow Democrats, this time defending President Donald Trump’s plan to add a large ballroom to the White House. The plans are going to be done in a tasteful and historical kind of way,” Fetterman said in an interview this week with Fox News Digital. “They’re not putting in a Dave & Buster’s kind of situation here, so I think upgrading some of these facilities seems pretty normal.” Fetterman, to the surprise of many pundits, has emerged during Trump’s second term as a maverick, a bipartisan-minded Democrat who has backed the president on a variety of issues including Israel, the border,
Vice President JD Vance says President Donald Trump has successfully gotten Democrats to support violent crime in the nation’s capital after the administration deployed the National Guard to help the Metropolitan Police Department cut crime. During a speech in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Vance said Democrats are going as far as to mock violent crime problems in cities across the United States, only because Trump is looking to step in and help local law enforcement to make communities safer.
“Is Milwaukee a super safe city right now? It has some crime problems. It’s a beautiful city. There are a lot of incredible, hard-working people who live there,” Vance said.
The Department of Education (ED) announced on Thursday that a Colorado School District violated Title IX by converting a high school girls’ restroom into an “all-gender” restroom and by allowing students to access facilities that match their “gender identity.” The department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found Denver Public Schools (DPS) in violation of Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination after launching an investigation into the district in January. The department initiated the probe after a local report alleged that the district had converted a girls’ restroom in East High School to a multi-stall “all-gender” restroom,
The Deadly Cost of Politicizing Crime

Another tragedy unfolded in Minneapolis this past week, and the details are telling. Instead of an honest discussion about crime, violence, and the safety of our communities, we once again watched the media twist itself into knots to avoid offending the “protected classes” of today’s progressive culture. Who could’ve predicted that placating delusion and coddling mental instability would lead to unfettered violence? The storyline is predictable: when a criminal fits a certain profile, the media blasts it across the headlines as proof of some larger cultural plague. But when the same violence comes from a person who identifies as transgender,
I've been working on something about this for a couple of weeks, but other stories and life events have pulled me away from it. I tell you that because my original intro that I wrote last week said something about how the mainstream media isn't covering Venezuela properly at the moment. It still isn't, but it's beginning to, which is just another sign that we're getting closer to the edge of something big, most likely the end of the Nicolás Maduro regime and years of Chavista dictatorship in a country that is down on its knees.
As we reported earlier, French Prime Minister François Bayrou has called a ‘confidence vote’ on the Parliament after becoming unable to approve his budget bill with his minortity government.

President of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella criticized what he called an ‘institutional blockage’. The president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella called on Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, August 26 on TF1 to ‘return to the ballot box (…) either by dissolution or by resignation’, deploring an ‘institutional blockage’.
Last month, Social Security celebrated its 87th “birthday.” Since being signed into law in August 1935 and beginning payouts on Jan. 1, 1940, Social Security has served as a financial foundation for our nation’s retired workforce.
Today, more than 48 million retired workers are receiving a monthly check that averages $1,670.95, as of July. While this might not sound like a lot — especially with inflation at four-decade highs — Social Security plays a key role in helping recipients make ends meet. According to national pollster Gallup, 89% of surveyed retirees count on Social Security as a “major” or “minor” source of income.

Reports surfaced this week suggesting that Chelsea Clinton may be considering a run for Congress in New York's 12th District, where longtime Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler has announced his retirement. The reports about Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, come as Democratic strategists weigh who could consolidate support in a rapidly expanding field. However, she has repeatedly insisted over the years that she has no plans to enter politics. Newsweek reached out to Chelsea Clinton via email for comment. Nadler's retirement marks the end of a three-decade career in Congress, including
During a presser outside Eagan, Minnesota’s Deerwood Elementary Tuesday, Gov. Tim Walz (D) confirmed he will call an emergency gun control session and criticized the number of guns and “type of guns” in circulation in America.
FOX 9 quoted Walz saying, “The thing that makes America unique in terms of shootings is we just have more guns and the wrong types of guns are on the streets.”
He went on to admit that he is going to need some Republicans to cross the aisle and vote with Democrats in order to secure his gun control package.
Walz added, “If Minnesota lets this moment slide and we determine it’s OK
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the former House Judiciary Committee chairman who helped lead the impeachments of then-former President Donald Trump, announced on Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2026, ending a 34-year tenure that placed him at the center of Democratic politics in New York and on the national stage.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, 78, confirmed that he will retire at the close of his current term, saying his decision was shaped by growing calls for generational change within the Democratic Party. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,”

Grand juries in Washington, D.C. refused to indict two people accused of threatening the life of President Donald Trump, prosecutors confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday. Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington said both cases involved threats against the president while jurors rejected charges, preventing the cases from moving forward to trial. One case involved Nathalie Rose Jones, who is accused of posting online threats to assassinate Trump and later repeating those threats directly to Secret Service agents during an interview.
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday endorsed socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the race for City Hall — claiming the progressive’s “bold, sweeping” agenda will save the Big Apple. “We don’t just need Zohran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas, or because they can be achieved,” de Blasio said in a New York Daily News op-ed as he threw his support behind the front-runner.“We need him because in his heart and in his bones he cannot accept a city that prices out the people who built it and keep it running.”
A federal judge has declared President Donald Trump’s use of military troops in Los Angeles illegal, barring the Pentagon from using National Guard members and Marines from performing police functions, like arrests and crowd control.
In a 52-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer warned that Trump appears intent on “creating a national police force with the President as its chief.” Trump billed his deployment of troops to Los Angeles, starting in early June, as a way of bolstering immigration enforcement efforts amid protests in the city against the president’s deportation agenda. Though Trump has now withdrawn all but 300 of those troops, he is mulling

There is a running joke on TikTok, which is predominantly used by younger adults, that the Baby Boomer generation is now able to sell their homes for millions after buying them with a handful of raspberries. This sentiment rang true in a recent survey from The Wall Street Journal and NORC at the University of Chicago, as well as in interviews conducted by the publication. A majority of respondents said the prior generation had an easier time buying a home, starting a

During a news conference in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Donald Trumpannounced the U.S. military "shot out" a drug boat from Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. "Over the last few minutes, [we] literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat," Trump said during the news conference. "A lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing that, and you'll be reading about that. It just happened moments ago." Secretary of State Marco Rubio later posted to X sharing additional details, noting the hit was a "lethal strike."
A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans he alleged were part of a criminal gang.
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction that blocked the Trump administration from removing a group of Venezuelans under the seldom-used 18th-century law. The Fifth Circuit is the first federal appeals court to rule directly on a March 14 presidential proclamation invoking the 1798 law to justify rapid deportations.
Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick, writing for the two-judge majority, rejected the Trump administration's assertion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua
In a decisive move to address the growing crisis in the U.S. immigration court system, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved deploying up to 600 military attorneys to the Department of Justice to serve as temporary immigration judges, according to a newly released memo. The attorneys — a mix of military personnel and civilian lawyers — will be sent in waves of 150, with the first group expected to be identified by next week. The initiative comes at the request of the Justice Department and is aimed at relieving a staggering immigration court backlog that has now ballooned to approximately 3.5 million cases.
