Where does the redistribution fight from here go

By Ben Kamisar

After a long-standing delay caused by democratic legislators who fled the state to protest, the Texas Chamber controlled by the Republican is now ready to adopt a new Congress card which aims to fill the majority of the GOP in the Chamber of the United States by up to five seats.

The new lines will always have to be approved by the State Senate and Governor Greg Abbott before being able to be promulgated before the mid-term elections next year. But that will only mark the first chapter of a redistribution battle which has spread across the country.

Democratic legislators in California advance a plan this week which aims to compensate for the efforts of Texas with a card that could add up to five seats to the ranks of their party in the House. They will need voters to approve the new lines during a special election this fall to circumvent the independent redistribution commission of California.

The spotlights were on Texas and California, given the potential swings that could result from their newly drawn lines. But a handful of other states led by the GOP envisage their own redistribution thrusts which could have major implications in the Battle of 2026 for the Chamber, where the Republicans currently have a thin three -seater majority.

Ohio: The state of Buckeye is required to redraw its lines of the Congress by law because the legislators of the State approved a card in 2021 without democratic support. Timing may well work for the Republicans, who control the Legislative Assembly. Two of the three members of the Ohio Democratic Chamber won the re -election of the last cycle of less than 3 points.

Indiana: The entire delegation of the State Republican Congress has aligned itself in recent days behind a redistribution effort which has been encouraged by the White House. The GOP already controls seven of the nine seats of the congress in the state of Hoosier.

Governor Mike Braun, a Republican, did not say if he planned to request a special session from the Legislative Assembly to take a new card. But vice-president JD Vance went to Indiana earlier this month to meet Braun.

Missouri: The Republicans pushed Governor Mike Kehoe to call a special legislative session for redistribution in the program Me State, where the Republicans control six of the eight seats of the Chamber.

Florida: Republican governor Ron Desantis said this week that people could “anticipate” a redrawing mid-December because there was a “sea change in demography” since the 2020 census. The GOP represents 20 of the 28 districts of the Sunshine State Congress.

Israel is advancing with the intention of resuming Gaza City

By Andrea Mitchell

Almost two years after the start of the war in Gaza, Israel called thousands of army reservists to take control of the last large civil region: Gaza City.

Troops are already starting to eliminate people from their tents on the outskirts of the city, which house up to a million residents, and force them to the south. Sixty-military reservists will be involved in the offensive and the service of 20,000 soldiers already deployed will be extended. This comes despite a rare public confrontation between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his chief of staff sorted army, who had declared that the army was exhausted and that the offensive would endanger surviving hostages.

This point was underlined at NBC News by Orna Neutra, whose son Omer was said to have been killed during the massacre on October 7. She told me that if the Israeli forces approached the place where Hamas holds the remaining hostages, the activists will not hesitate to execute them. She and her husband pressure for a peace agreement to hand over the remains of their son.

His point of view reflects a large opposition by the Israeli public to widen war. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis on Sunday paraded in a national strike against the Netanyahu plans, the greatest demonstration in Israel for years.

While the world focuses on Gaza, the Israeli government has announced the final approval of thousands of new houses for Jewish settlers in the West Bank, where the colonists have intensified their attacks on Palestinian residents. Becoming quickly a Tinderbox, the new colonies had been suspended for years due to the opposition of the Arab world, European leaders and previous American administrations. It is estimated that 700,000 Israeli settlers now live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The location of the new colony is controversial because it would separate two major Palestinian cities, Ramallah and Bethlehem.

All this takes place because some of the allies closest to America, including France, the United Kingdom and Canada, said that they could join the more than 145 countries that recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel accepts a cease-fire. Israel has become more and more isolated due to a blockade of food, water and one month, followed by a aid net delivered to only four sites in the south of Gaza guarded by the FDI. The United Nations said that the resulting clashes have resulted in 1,400 Palestinian dead people looking for food and 4,000 injuries.

President Donald Trump, who recently told Netanyahu to “finish work” in Gaza, spoke with admiration of the Prime Minister on Tuesday evening in an interview with the conservative radio host Mark Levin, describing him as “war heroes” for his strikes against Iranian nuclear installations. Trump added: “I guess I am too. No one cares about it, but I am too. I mean I sent these planes, ”referring to the American strikes in Iran.

It’s all of the political bureau for the moment. Today’s newsletter was compiled by Adam Wollner and Bridget Bowman.
