Republican leaders in Texas threatened to arrest or expel Democratic lawmakers if they do not return to the state House. Democrats left the state to block a bill redrawing congressional maps, which could create five new GOP-leaning districts favored by Trump. This action is seen as targeting Black and Latino districts. Concurrently, the Trump administration has proposed terminating two critical NASA satellite missions that track carbon dioxide, crucial for monitoring greenhouse gases. These actions may initiate extensive national disputes over voting maps and environmental monitoring.
