Texas Democrats block GOP redistricting plan by fleeing the state

Texas Redistricting WAR: Democrats Flee State to Block Republican's GOP Map |Abbott’s Vote Collapses

A dramatic showdown erupts in Texas as 51 Democratic lawmakers flee the state, heading to Illinois to block a Republican redistricting map backed by former President Donald Trump. The GOP-drafted map would add five Republican-leaning seats to the U.S. House, but Democrats say it's a blatant power grab that silences millions of voters. Without the two-thirds quorum needed to proceed, Governor Greg Abbott’s special session is now in chaos. As the redistricting war intensifies, Democrats call this political exile a fight for democracy, while Republicans label it cowardice. Will the runaway lawmakers succeed—or be hunted down, fined, or even removed from office? #TexasPolitics #RedistrictingCrisis #RunawayDems #TrumpBackedMap #GregAbbott #GOPPowerGrab #TexasDemocrats #Illinois #Election2026 #BreakingNews #PoliticalShowdown #USHouse #VotingRights #TrumpNews #AbbottVsDems

Donald Trump Swoons Over Sydney Sweeney After Reports That She's a Registered Republican | THR News Video

Donald Trump is weighing in on reports that Sydney Sweeney is a registered republican in the wake of her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign. Citing public records, The Guardian reported over the weekend that Sweeney registered with the GOP last June in Florida. The 'Euphoria' actress has not commented on the reports. Trump was asked about the story while taking questions from reporters in Pennsylvania on Sunday. He responded, "She's a registered Republican?! Oh. Now I love her ad! Is that right? Sydney Sweeney ... You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic."

Trump Defends Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Jeans Ad — It’s 'Fantastic' Because She’s a Republican

U.S. President Donald Trump is under fire after praising actress Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad — one critics are calling a "white supremacist dog whistle." Trump called the ad “fantastic” during a media interaction, but only after being informed that Sweeney is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The ad, which uses the pun “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” has been accused of having racial undertones and promoting problematic narratives. Online backlash exploded, yet Trump doubled down on his support, further politicizing the already heated campaign. This isn’t the first time Sweeney’s political affiliations have made headlines. From her MAGA-themed family party photos to her current GOP registration, the actress is quickly becoming a lightning rod in Hollywood’s culture wars. Watch the full video to see how fashion, politics, and celebrity culture collided — and why Trump’s comments may have made it worse. #Trump #SydneySweeney #AmericanEagle #TrumpSpeech #GOPHollywood #ControversialAd #WhiteSupremacy #MAGA #BreakingNews #RepublicanCelebrity #SweeneyAdBacklash #CultureWars #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpControversy #JeansAdScandal #TruthSocial #PoliticsAndFashion ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~
