Last year, President Donald Trump urged Republicans in Texas to draw a new congressional district map five years ahead of schedule. But less than a year later, Republicans are actually lagging behind Democrats in the redistricting battle. That's according to CNN data analyst Harry Enten, who laid out how Democrats have so far out-maneuvered Republicans in congressional redistricting. Democrats in California countered Texas' maps by voting overwhelmingly for Prop 50, which put in place new maps giving Democrats an advantage in five Republican-held districts. And in deep-red Utah, a judge struck an all-Republican redistricting map, giving Democrats an additional seat in the Beehive State.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota activist who was charged for her role in an anti-immigration enforcement protest at a church released her own video of her arrest Friday after the White House posted a manipulated image online. The White House on Thursday posted a picture on its X page of civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong crying with her hands behind her back as she was escorted by a blurred person wearing a badge. “Why are you recording?” Levy Armstrong asked. At no point in the more than seven-minute video ― which shows Levy Armstrong being handcuffed and led into a government vehicle ― did Levy Armstrong appear to cry. In an audio message that Levy Armstrong’s spokesperson shared with The Associated Press, Levy Armstrong said the video of her arrest exposes that the Trump administration had used AI to manipulate images of her arrest.

Cleveland is facing a shortage of road salt as the massive winter storm approaches, officials say, and the city will have to prioritize which streets receive salt treatments. “In the past, we would try to use salt in the residential areas to get down the pavement,” John Laird, Cleveland’s director of Public Works, said at a news conference Friday. The snow is forecast to arrive tonight, but the peak intensity of it will be Sunday. The city’s salt shortage stems from delivery issues with a state-contracted supplier, according to Laird. “The delivery is a little shorter than what we want, but we still have salt to work with,” he said, adding that the Ohio Department of Transportation has sent additional salt to the city.
