19:02:54Now PlayingTune in live as the Texas House reconvenes in Austin amid a heated redistricting standoff. Over 50 Democratic lawmakers fled the state on August 3 to block a GOP‑backed map drawn under President Trump’s influence — one that would likely add five Republican‑favored U.S. House seats ahead of the 2026 elections. Governor Greg Abbott has responded by issuing civil arrest warrants and pursuing legal avenues to potentially vacate vacant seats via the state Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the Democrats, now scattered across Illinois and other blue states, are raising funds to maintain their protest and pay fines. The outcome of today’s session could have major implications on national balance of power — don’t miss a moment of the unfolding showdown.
