Happy Thursday, Patriots,

President Trump is celebrating a “BIG WIN” in Texas, where lawmakers just approved a redistricting plan that could add five new GOP seats in Congress.

Trump says this isn’t just a Texas victory—it’s the start of a national red wave.

He’s urging other Republican states to follow Texas’ lead and reminding us that ending mail-in voting and returning to paper ballots could secure 100 more seats nationwide.

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

With Texas successfully passing new redistricting maps that could deliver additional Republican seats in Congress, President Trump is now encouraging other GOP-led states to follow suit and secure similar advantages. Democrats aren't sitting idle though, they're mounting their own counter-offensive, with California's Gavin Newsom spearheading efforts to redraw his state's maps in favor of his party. The 2026 midterms may still be on the horizon, but the redistricting wars are heating up right now.

In other news, Trump has taken another decisive step to combat leftist influence on college campuses by cutting off federal work-study funding for programs that promote political activism at universities. Combined with his recent demands for reforms at the Smithsonian, these moves show Trump's continued commitment to removing woke ideology from America's key institutions.

🔔 Trump Leads Republican Redistricting Charge 🔔

The nation finds itself embroiled in an unprecedented redistricting war, with President Trump leading a coordinated Republican effort to reshape congressional maps while Democrats mobilize their own counter-offensive. The battleground extends from Texas to California, Indiana to Florida, as both parties recognize that control of the House of Representatives could hinge on these carefully drawn lines.

Trump has emerged as the chief architect of the Republican redistricting strategy, celebrating Texas lawmakers' approval of new congressional maps as a "Big WIN" for the party. The president urged other Republican-led states to follow the Lone Star State's lead, posting on Truth Social that "Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing." His enthusiasm for the Texas victory was palpable, declaring that "Texas never lets us down" and suggesting the redistricting effort represents more than just a state victory but a national turning point.

The Texas House passed the controversial redistricting measure by an 88-52 party-line vote after a grueling five-hour debate, with Republicans pushing through maps designed to create up to five new GOP-leaning congressional districts. State Representative Jared Patterson called it "one big, beautiful map" that advances "President Trump's America First agenda," directly challenging what he described as interference from "radical progressives like Gavin Newsom, Beto O'Rourke, and their allies." The Texas Senate had already approved the measure, clearing the path for Governor Greg Abbott's signature on what he dubbed "One Big Beautiful Map."

California Democrats have mounted a fierce counter-offensive under Governor Gavin Newsom's leadership, unveiling their own redistricting plan designed to eliminate at least four of the state's nine Republican-held congressional districts. Newsom's strategy requires overturning California's independent redistricting commission through a special election, a complex process that needs a two-thirds majority in the Democrat-dominated legislature. The governor has framed his efforts as a necessary response to Trump's influence, charging that "here we are in open and plain sight before one vote is cast in the 2026 midterm election and here [Trump] is once again trying to rig the system."

Former President Barack Obama has thrown his support behind Newsom's gerrymandering plan, calling it "a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time." Obama praised Newsom's conditional strategy during a Martha's Vineyard fundraiser, noting that California would only proceed "if and when Texas and/or other Republican states begin to pull these maneuvers." The former president's endorsement adds significant Democratic Party weight to Newsom's controversial effort to temporarily replace the popular independent commission.

Indiana has emerged as the next major battleground, with Representative Marlin Stutzman becoming the first member of the state's congressional delegation to publicly call for new maps. Stutzman declared that "Democrats have proven they will use every tool available to them to gain and keep power" and proclaimed "it's time for us to drop the gloves." White House officials have reportedly been pressing Indiana state legislators to move forward with redistricting, with Trump reportedly inviting Republican members of the state legislature to the White House to pressure them directly.

The high-stakes nature of these battles reflects both parties' recognition that even small changes in district boundaries could determine control of Congress in 2026. Texas Republicans currently control 25 of the state's 38 House seats, while California Republicans hold only nine of 52 seats, representing just 17 percent despite nearly 40 percent of California voters choosing Republican candidates in 2024. The mathematical implications are stark: Texas could add five Republican seats while California could eliminate four GOP districts, creating a potential nine-seat swing that could prove decisive in a closely divided House.

The redistricting offensive represents Trump's determination to avoid the political disasters that befell his first presidency, when Democratic control of the House led to two impeachment proceedings and the effective paralysis of his legislative agenda. Each additional Republican seat could prove decisive in maintaining the party's narrow House majority and continuing implementation of Trump's America First policies, while Democrats recognize that their own survival may depend on successfully countering the GOP's redistricting surge across multiple battleground states.

The unfolding redistricting wars represent more than mere political maneuvering; they constitute a fundamental struggle over democratic representation that could reshape American politics for the next decade. As Trump leads the Republican charge and Democrats mobilize their own sophisticated counter-strategies, the battles in state legislatures and courtrooms across the nation will ultimately determine whether the president's vision of expanded GOP power becomes reality or whether Democratic resistance successfully blunts the Republican offensive in this high-stakes political chess match.

🕵️ Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is implementing "ODNI 2.0" by slashing staff by nearly 50 percent and eliminating entire centers including the Foreign Malign Influence Center, which coordinated with Big Tech companies before Twitter removed the Hunter Biden laptop story. The downsizing will save taxpayers $700 million while eliminating what officials called "redundant" centers that had been "weaponized" against conservatives under President Biden. Gabbard briefed Trump on the transformation plan two weeks ago and received his "green light," with officials stating the changes aim to "restore trust" in the intelligence community by ending politicization and focusing on core national security missions.

🗳️ Vice President JD Vance cautioned Elon Musk against forming a third political party, advising him to stay "loyal" to Trump's Republican Party and express disagreements "from the inside as opposed from the outside." Vance argued that Musk is now perceived by the far left as being on the American right due to his beliefs in law and order, closed borders, and economic growth, making it impossible for him to return to a middle position where both parties like him. Musk is pausing plans to start the America Party to focus on his companies, though his allies said he hasn't officially ruled out creating the new party and could change his mind.

📺 CBS News host Tony Dokoupil agreed with Trump's directive for the Smithsonian Institution to review how it presents American history, saying there is "room for correction back toward the middle" between reverence and contempt. Trump criticized the Smithsonian for focusing on "how horrible our Country is" and "how bad Slavery was" while ignoring success , ordering his attorneys to review museums similar to the process used with colleges and universities. The White House issued a letter on August 12 ordering the Smithsonian to conduct an internal review to ensure exhibits align with Trump's directive to "celebrate American exceptionalism" and "remove divisive or partisan narratives" ahead of America's 250th birthday celebrations.

📊 Democrats lost ground to Republicans in all 30 states that track voter registration by party between the 2020 and 2024 elections, resulting in a 4.5 million-voter swing toward the GOP according to data from nonpartisan firm L2. Democrats lost about 2.1 million registered voters while Republicans gained 2.4 million, with the Democratic Party's eleven-point edge over Republicans in 2020 shrinking to just over six points by 2024. Trump's gains among men, younger voters, and Latinos have undermined Democrats' traditional strategy of relying on nonprofits to register racial minorities and young people, as these groups can no longer be assumed to vote Democratic.

🎨 The White House slammed former White Stripes frontman Jack White after he called Trump's new gold-accented Oval Office décor "gaudy" and "vulgar," with communications director Steven Cheung calling the musician a "washed-up, has-been loser" with a "stalled career." White posted on Instagram criticizing Trump's office transformation as resembling "a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room" while praising Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as "a real leader" during their recent meeting. Trump has updated the presidential office with gold adornments and framed a copy of the Declaration of Independence, while also planning to add a $200 million ballroom to the White House.
