Texas Democrats Prevent Vote On Trump's Efforts To Add GOP House Seats

Texas Democrats have prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward, at least for now, with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Donald Trump. The map would shore up Republicans’ 2026 midterm prospects as Trump's political standing falters. After dozens of Democrats left the state, the Republican-dominated House was unable Monday to establish the quorum of lawmakers required to do business. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has made threats about removing some members of the opposition from their seats. Democrats pushed back Monday. Some mocked Abbott as the weak figure in the drama, saying he is “bending a knee” to Trump. And at least one legal expert casts doubt on the governor's ability to sanction any state lawmaker.

Trump Slams Monthly Jobs Numbers As “Rigged”

President Trump is doubling down on his criticism of last week’s monthly jobs report. In social media posts, the president slammed the July employment numbers as “rigged” and “concocted” in order to hurt the Trump administration. He complained about “massive” revisions to the previous two month’s numbers, calling them “fake.” And has alleged, without evidence, that partisan federal workers are trying to sabotage him. Last week, he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and he promises to “pick an exceptional replacement” in the coming days.

TX Gov. Says Democrats Who Left State 'Forfeited' Office

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says Democratic lawmakers who left his state to block the GOP from redrawing congressional district boundaries have effectively forfeited their seats. Abbott insists he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers from office if they do not return. Democrats in Texas and around the U.S. are pushing back. They say Abbott has no power to punish the lawmakers and that it's Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who are abusing their power. At issue are the U.S. House districts for Texas and whether Republicans can successfully redraw them to give the party a better chance to hold its slim congressional majority after the 2026 midterm elections.

2 Killed, 6 Wounded In Shooting After Music Festival In Los Angeles

A shooting erupted during a music festival after-party in downtown Los Angeles, killing two people and wounding six others early Monday, authorities said. Authorities first responded around 11 p.m. Sunday to shut down a “big party” after officers saw a person possibly armed with a gun go inside a building in a downtown warehouse district, said Officer Norma Eisenman. That person was arrested at the scene, she said. The party had been promoted on social media as an unofficial after-party for Hard Summer, a weekend techno-music festival held at Hollywood Park, about 9 miles (14 km) away in Inglewood, KTLA-TV reported. Shortly after officers had cleared the area, police received a report of shots fired around 1 a.m. When the officers returned, they found one person dead and learned multiple people had been struck by gunfire, Eisenman said in an email. A male victim died at the scene and a female victim died at a hospital, Eisenman said. Six people were taken to hospitals in unknown condition, she said. A man told KABC-TV that his 29-year-old son was one of the two people killed. There was no information about a suspect or a motive. Investigators remained at the scene for hours.
