The BIGGEST political story no one is talking about - Chris Cillizza [View all]

Chris Cillizza argues that while most media are focused on Trump, Epstein, and tariffs, they’re missing a politically seismic story: Texas Republicans, pushed by Donald Trump, are redrawing the state’s congressional map mid-decade to gain up to five more House seats before 2026. This move could cement GOP control of the House, which Democrats see as their best shot at flipping a chamber during Trump’s second term. In response, Democratic-controlled states like California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois are exploring — though not yet executing — their own mid-decade redistricting plans. If Texas succeeds, it could trigger a wave of partisan map-drawing any time a party gains power, making congressional control far more volatile and politicized.
