LOADING ERROR LOADINGWhen it comes to gerrymandering efforts by Democrats and Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms, redistricting expert Jonathan Cervas believes one party currently has an advantage. “If nothing changes, as [the districts] are right now, Democrats have clearly won this war,” Cervas said in a Wednesday appearance on Mediaite founder Dan Abrams’ SiriusXM radio show. The 2025 elections were widely characterized as the first electoral test of President Donald Trump’s second term. The Democrats won governorships in New Jersey and Virginia, and in New York City, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani defeated Trump’s candidate of choice, former Gov.

continually insisted they would be able to fix a looming spike in health care costs in December. The GOP’s failure to coalesce around a solution mirrors their yearslong failure to come up with a larger plan to lower health care costs or replace Obamacare. Voters largely do not trust Republicans to deal with health care, and many of the party’s ideas are unpopular. That has left Senate Republicans up in the air about whether to even offer a plan at all. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) speaks during the Senate Democrats' news conference on extending expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits in the U.S. Capitol on Dec. 4.

Justice Samuel Alito had previously temporarily blocked the order while the full court considered the Texas appeal. The justices have blocked past lower-court rulings in congressional redistricting cases, most recently in Alabama and Louisiana, that came several months before elections. The Texas congressional map enacted last summer at Trump’s urging was engineered to give Republicans five additional House seats. Texas state Sen. Pete Flores, R-Pleasanton, looks over a redrawn U.S. congressional map during debate over a bill in the Senate Chamber at the Texas Capitol in Austin, Texas, Aug. 22, 2025. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map,” Brown wrote.

“The order was basically: Destroy the drugs, kill the 11 people on the boat,” said Washington Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee.

At the time of the attack, Bradley was the commander of Joint Special Operations Command, overseeing coordinated operations between the military’s elite special operations units out of Fort Bragg in North Carolina. About a month after the strike, he was promoted to commander of U.S. Special Operations Command. Republican lawmakers who are close to Trump have largely stood by Hegseth and the administration’s decision to conduct the strikes.

“We never accept any kind of pressure,” Tomoko Akane, a judge from Japan and the ICC’s president, said during the ongoing summit. Critics of the warrants often cite doubts about Karim Khan, the ICC prosecutor who requested and secured them. This year, the court has rejected an Israeli request to quash the warrants, then an Israeli appeal against that rejection. The U.S. and many of Israel’s other allies, for instance, have previously welcomed an ICC warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over accusations of war crimes in Ukraine. Additionally, the ICC judges cited Israeli attacks that appeared directed at civilians, another potential war crime.
