🇺🇸 Trump Backs GOP in Texas Redistricting Battle
Happy Wednesday, Patriots!
The House Oversight Committee just dropped a bombshell wave of subpoenas, including Trump’s DOJ— targeting Pam Bondi, the Clintons, and other top Democrats tied to the Epstein scandal and the Trump‑Russia hoax.
Chairman James Comer confirmed Bondi will testify August 19, producing records on Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — while subpoenas for Hillary and Bill Clinton signal the investigation is widening into the Obama‑era swamp.
This comes one day after news that Bondi convened a grand jury probing Russiagate, putting Comey, Brennan, and Clinton squarely in the crosshairs.

As Texas Democrats hit the road to avoid showing up and stopping Republicans from taking action, President Trump has made it clear he’s backing the GOP’s push to redraw the state’s congressional districts to win five more House seats. Trump says this move makes sense given his huge support in Texas, and he’s encouraging Republicans to keep pushing through, despite Democrats threatening arrests and fines. The left obviously calls it a power grab meant to suppress minority voters, but it’s a smart move to secure control of the House for 2026.
Meanwhile, Trump has made comments suggsting his endorsement of JD Vance as the next big MAGA candidate for president. At the same time, he’s moving forward with his plan to hold Washington D.C. responsible for its crime problems, even threatening to put the city under federal control if things don’t improve. Another busy day for President Trump, with big announcements around every corner.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
🗳️ Trump Names Vance as Likely Successor
President Trump stated that Vice President JD Vance is “most likely” to be favored for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, citing his current role and strong job performance. Trump suggested Secretary of State Marco Rubio might team up with Vance, adding that several other cabinet members could be future party leaders. Trump emphasized that it was early to settle on a successor but gave Vance the highest praise yet from the president for a possible future run. Rubio publicly praised Vance’s Vice Presidential performance and indicated support if Vance chooses to pursue the nomination. Polls show Vance leading in some early primary states, placing him at the forefront of potential 2028 GOP candidates.
🚨 Trump Threatens Federal Control Over D.C.
President Trump warned that he will take direct federal control of Washington, D.C., if local officials do not address what he called “out of control” youth violence. He specifically called for D.C. to allow prosecution of minors as young as 14 as adults and shared incidents of violent attacks involving juveniles. Trump criticized current laws for releasing young offenders too quickly and insisted crime in the capital must be tackled for the sake of safety and national pride. He signaled that if city leaders fail to act quickly, federal intervention will become necessary and promised tougher enforcement. Trump’s comments follow recent attacks and a notable drop in overall violent crime rates, yet he continues to stress the need for more dramatic action.
🏛️ Trump Appears on White House Roof Amid Renovation Plans
President Trump made an appearance atop the White House, inspecting potential sites for a new privately funded $200 million ballroom to host official functions and state dinners. Trump told reporters he was reviewing the project in person and emphasized that private donors, along with himself, would cover the renovation costs. Accompanied by officials and architect James McCrery, Trump humorously replied that he was "building nuclear missiles" when asked about future construction, making a missile gesture. The ballroom will be a 90,000-square-foot addition designed to host up to 650 guests, and work is expected to start in September with added security enhancements. Trump has also completed other renovations, including new flagpoles and gold finishes in the Oval Office, during his term.
🌍 Trump Strikes New Deportation Deal with Rwanda
President Trump’s administration secured an agreement with Rwanda to accept up to 250 migrants deported from the U.S., making Rwanda the third African country to take U.S. deportees. Under this arrangement, Rwanda will approve each case individually and provide accepted migrants with job training, healthcare, and housing. U.S. officials have already submitted candidates for resettlement, and the administration is encouraging more countries to accept deported individuals, especially those with criminal records. Recent U.S. deportations include sending individuals to South Sudan, Eswatini, Costa Rica, Panama, and El Salvador. The move is part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to tighten immigration enforcement through third-country deportation partnerships.

Dozens of Texas House Democrats fled the state this week in a dramatic attempt to block a Republican redistricting plan that would give the GOP five new congressional seats. Their exodus deprived the Texas House of the quorum required to conduct business, stalling a planned vote on the new maps and thrusting the state into a fierce partisan standoff. President Trump has openly supported the Texas Republicans’ move to redraw the district boundaries, with GOP leaders arguing that changes are needed in response to population shifts and to strengthen their party’s congressional standing.
Republican Governor Greg Abbott responded by ordering the Texas Department of Public Safety to track down and arrest the absent Democrats, and the House quickly voted to issue arrest warrants. The warrants, however, hold no authority outside Texas, as most Democrats traveled to Illinois or New York, where they received vocal support from state Democratic leaders. President Trump told reporters that if the standoff continues, “the FBI may have to” help return the missing lawmakers, emphasizing that legislators should “fight it out” in the House chamber rather than abandon their posts.
DNC Chair Ken Martin declared his party would not “roll over” in the nationwide fight, vowing that Democrats will use “every option on the table” — including legal and legislative responses in other blue states — to counter what he called a Republican “power grab.” California Governor Gavin Newsom and New York Governor Kathy Hochul both signaled they were prepared to pursue aggressive redistricting of their own if Republicans succeed in Texas, and New York Democrats began advancing constitutional amendments to allow for mid-decade map changes benefitting their party.
In passionate remarks, Texas Democratic leaders characterized the Republican-drafted map as racist and designed to dilute the votes of Black and Latino citizens, asserting that it packed minority voters into certain districts while scattering others to reduce their electoral power. Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones went as far as to compare the redistricting effort to the Holocaust, arguing that silence from bystanders enables grave injustices and warning that the process is intended to erase communities’ representation.
The Republican map’s backers, including the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Todd Hunter, admitted the plan was designed specifically for political performance, saying candidly that “we have five new districts, and these five new districts are based on political performance,” with the intent to convert Democratic seats to GOP strongholds. Democrats argued that reshaping the map mid-decade, rather than after the census, marks an extraordinary and partisan intervention, potentially setting a precedent for other states to follow suit.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s national political team views the Texas effort as vital to preventing a repeat of the 2018 midterms, when Democrats regained the House majority. National Republican leaders, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson, are promoting the Texas model as a blueprint to safeguard their narrow majority ahead of the pivotal 2026 midterms. Amid accusations of cheating and counter-accusations of “political arson,” the redistricting battle quickly escalated into a war of words and legal maneuvers, with both parties threatening to mirror each other’s hardball tactics in states where they hold power.
While the Texas Democrats’ gambit temporarily halted the redistricting process, GOP officials expressed confidence that previous similar walkouts had only delayed, but not stopped, their legislative priorities. Still, the standoff has national implications, with lawsuits, law enforcement involvement, and questions over the limits of state and federal authority. As both sides double down, the fight over congressional maps becomes a test case for future battles over representation, voting rights, and the control of Congress itself.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟
⚖️ The Trump administration is considering releasing the transcript and possibly the audio recording of a two-day, nine-hour interview Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted with Ghislaine Maxwell last month while she was in federal custody in Florida. Maxwell reportedly told Blanche that President Trump never did anything concerning in her presence and she did not hold back during the interview, which examined over a hundred individuals related to Epstein's case. Maxwell has since been transferred to a lower-security federal prison in Texas, and no decision has yet been made on the timing or complete details of any public release of the material.
🗳️ Senate Republicans intend to deploy the "nuclear option" to change Senate rules, allowing confirmation votes on President Trump’s nominees by a simple majority rather than the current 60-vote threshold.

GOP leadership aims to clear a backlog of Trump’s nominees stalled by Democratic opposition.
