The newsletter provides updates from the NBC News Politics team, covering developments from the White House, Capitol Hill, and the campaign trail. Today's edition features analysis of redistricting efforts and a report on Israel's planned operation in Gaza City.
Following the redistricting battles in Texas and California, the focus shifts to other states where similar efforts are underway. The Republican-controlled Texas House is set to pass a new congressional map, aiming to increase the GOP's majority. Meanwhile, California Democrats are working on a plan to counter Texas's efforts.
Several other Republican-led states are considering their own redistricting pushes, potentially impacting the 2026 House elections. Ohio is legally required to redraw its congressional lines. Indiana's Republican delegation is supporting a redistricting effort. Missouri Republicans are pushing for a special legislative session. Florida's governor has indicated a mid-decade redraw is likely.
In the context of the ongoing war, Israel is preparing to take control of Gaza City, mobilizing thousands of reservists. This operation comes despite internal disagreements and public opposition.
The Israeli government has approved new homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank, a move that has drawn international criticism. This decision occurs amid growing international pressure for a ceasefire and recognition of a Palestinian state.

“Using redistricting as a tool for political gain is just another sign that democracy is under attack. It’s disgusting.”

“Redistricting should not be a game. It's disenfranchising millions of voters just to serve party agendas. Enough is enough!”

“This is just political theatre. Redistricting serves the elite while ignoring the everyday struggles of the American people.”
