Texas can use a redrawn congressional map that adds as many as five Republican-friendly congressional districts, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, handing Donald Trump a major win in his push to boost Republican seats ahead of next year’s midterm elections. In an unsigned order, the 6-3 conservative majority court granted a request by Texas to lift a lower court’s ruling that struck down the state’s new map in November. The Supreme Court’s three liberal justices dissented. Supreme Court allows Texas to use new congressional map favoring Republicans in 2026 elections – as it happened...

#5 Grand Jury Rejects New Mortgage Fraud Indictment Against New York Attorney General Letitia James - npr/Associated Press, Nick Sortor, @amuse, Chad Prather, TomemanLives, and Sam E. Antar/NY AG James on X
The Justice Department failed Thursday to secure a new indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James after a judge dismissed the previous mortgage fraud prosecution encouraged by President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter. Prosecutors went back to a grand jury in Virginia after a judge's ruling halting the prosecution of James and another longtime Trump foe, former FBI Director James Comey, on the grounds that the U.S. attorney who presented the cases was illegally appointed. But grand jurors rejected prosecutors' request to bring charges...#6 Ice Begins Surge in Minnesota as Trump Pushes for Crackdown on Somali Immigrants - CBS News, Libs of TikTok, Dapper Detective, john jackson, Pat, and Brown Mwikwabe on X
Federal immigration authorities this week began conducting enhanced operations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, a U.S. official told CBS News, targeting a region with a large population of the Somali immigrants President Trump often rails against. The surge by Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expected to target individuals in the Twin Cities area with deportation orders, the official said. The exact scope and duration of the operation are not clear so far. The crackdown comes as Mr. Trump castigates Minnesota's large community of Somali immigrants, regularly pointing to the country — often in incendiary terms — as a justification for his administration's sweeping mass deportation campaign...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vowed Thursday to stop clearing homeless encampments throughout the Big Apple — ending a signature initiative pushed by the Adams administration since taking office. The Democratic Socialist flatly told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Manhattan that he would stop all sweeps of makeshift settlements come the new year when he is sworn in as mayor. “If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem anything you’re doing to be a success,” Mamdani said of the Adams policy, which has faced criticism for not getting those homeless people into permanent homes after the sweeps...

‘Our country will not survive if we continue to normalize this stuff.’ Remember when Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency started combing through federal spending with a fine-tooth comb and making commonsense cuts, and the Democrats had a tantrum of epic proportions? That’s because they didn’t want the American people to know about all their little NGOs that intentionally “fund our destruction.” They didn’t want us to find out about the billions of dollars in Obamacare fraud, Glenn Beck says. On Wednesday, the Government Accountability Office published a report addressing fraud in the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare...
