Trump defends electoral redistribution in Texas that could give 5 additional seats to Republicans
President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Republicans are entitled to five more seats in Texas and reiterated their support for the redistribution of districts in that state of the south.
“We have the opportunity to win five seats in Texas. We have a really good governor and good people in Texas. And I won in Texas. I obtained the greatest amount of votes in the history of Texas, as they probably know, and we have the right to five more seats,” Trump said in the program “Squawk Box” of the CNBC.
The president defended the manipulation of the electoral districts in the state and assured that the Democrats “did it to us.”
“In Illinois, what they are doing is terrible. And, as you can see, they go to Illinois for security, but all that is manipulation of the electoral districts. California is also manipulated. We should have many more seats in Congress in California. Everything is manipulation of the electoral districts,” Trump said.
A nourished group of Democratic legislators left Texas to avoid quorum and thus the state legislature approves the redistribution of electoral districts.
The move, known in English as’ gerrymandering’, It is a long -standing problem in the US and its impact on democracy is increasingly notable, since it mine the power of citizen vote and its true reflection in the composition of the House of Representatives.

Trump wants to create a working group for security for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games
President Trump plans to sign an executive order on Tuesday to create a work group in the White House in charge of strengthening the role of the federal government in the organization of the Summer Games of 2028 in Los Angeles, he reported The New York Times.
The new group will focus on the security and other logistics aspects of the games, such as the visas, according to a White House official to Times.
The National Security Department has classified the event as “special national security”, which implies direct coordination with the FBI, the Secret Service and other federal agencies, the newspaper added.
It is not clear to what extent this group will collaborate with local authorities, who do not have good communication with the federal government, especially for the migratory raids that ICE is carrying out in the city.
But local authorities have expressed confidence that the event will be a success. Casey Wasserman, president of the Organizing Committee, thanked his team in a statement for his “leadership and unconditional support.”

Netanyahu plans to call Gaza’s “total conquest”, according to reports
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, seems to bow to expanding military operations in Gaza and seeks the support of the security cabinet for what has described as the “total conquest” of the strip, according to reports of Israeli media confirmed by a source cited by CNN.
His position complicates the negotiations for a high fire and the release of hostages, since Hamas conditions the return to dialogue to first relieve the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave.

Sources consulted by CNN indicated that the Israeli military authorities reject expand terrestrial operations in areas where they would mean for their lives.
The plan also received criticism from a group of mothers of Israeli soldiers while the Palestinian authority asked the international community to intervene.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said that expanding the offensive responds to the desire to recover all hostages and “end this war” after the failure of negotiations for a partial agreement.
For its part, the Palestinian authority has asked the international community to intervene.
It is not clear if this “total conquest” strategy of Netanyahu coincides with the position of Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
But the Israeli government faces increasing internal pressure.
Nearly 600 former security officials of Israel, including several former Mosad -Jewers and the Internal Security Agency, the Shin Bet, on Monday asked the US President Donald Trump, who presses Netanyahu to end the war and bring back to the hostages, AFP reported.

Dozens of Democratic state legislators in Texas moved this weekend to other states, in a last attempt to prevent a republican proposal from being approved in the State Chamber to redesign the electoral map of the Congress and that Donald Trump wants to implement before the intermediate elections of 2026.

The state governor, Greg Abbott, ordered the Department of State Public Security to arrest and return to the Chamber to those who did not appear to the session on Monday. However, when leaving the State, legislators are out of reach of the forces of the order of Texas.
But what is Trump’s proposal? What effects would it have and why cause so much rejection by the Democrats, to the point of abandoning their state to block their vote? Is this unpublished scenario? Find here the answers 👇

Abbott orders to arrest democratic legislators who left Texas to stop the redesign of the electoral map
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, ordered on Monday the arrest of Democratic legislators who abandoned the State to prevent a republican proposal from redesigning the electoral map of Congress.

Minutes before, the Texas Representatives Chamber approved to locate and arrest the Democrats who were not present at the session called for Monday afternoon. However, his vote was rather symbolic, since Arrest orders only apply within the limits of the State, which led Abbott to issue his order.
“To guarantee compliance, I ordered the Texas Public Security Department to locate, arrest and return to the camera to any member who has abandoned their duty with the Texans. This order will remain in force until all the disappeared Chamber members are identified and taken to the Texas Capitol,” said the governor.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also said he will do everything in his hand to pursue and arrest the representatives who “fled” of Texas “in a cowardly dropout of their responsibilities.”
