U.S. President Donald Trump actually sent 700 U.S. Marine Corps troops to Los Angeles in June 2025 — alongside 4,000 National Guard troops.

President Donald Trump is pushing Republicans in Texas to redraw the state's congressional maps to help ensure the party keeps its majority in the U.S.

In order to stop the new maps from being created, House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries reportedly told Texas Democrats to “quorum bust,” or leave the state in order to prevent the legislature from meeting. Democrats used the tactic back in 2003 when Republicans did mid-decade redistricting to draw out several Democratic incumbents.

At least 24 people were dead and many missing after torrential rains unleashed flash floods along the Guadalupe River in Texas.

President Donald Trump toured the devastation from catastrophic flooding in Texas and lauded local officials amid mounting criticism that they failed to warn residents quickly enough that a deadly wall of water was coming their way.

Experts said the NWS did a good job warning about the flooding, but questions remain about whether the cuts played a role.

Recent storms have slowed recovery efforts in central Texas following the July 4 floods that killed more than 130 people. About 14,000 volunteers are searching for at least 100 people still missing.
