Today’s Headlines: Republican lawmakers in Texas released a redistricting plan that would add five GOP-leaning congressional seats by slicing up Democratic cities—like moving part of Austin into a district with oil-rich Odessa—just ahead of a special legislative session called by Governor Abbott. Meanwhile, the Trump administration launched a new health data-sharing program with over 60 tech firms, and separately proposed major crypto reforms, urging Congress to treat digital assets like securities while pushing for IRS and regulatory rollbacks. Brown University agreed to dismantle its DEI programs in a $50 million deal to unfreeze federal funds, while Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands ramped up pressure on Israel over Gaza, warning of consequences if annexation continues. Trump is expected to greenlight a new Gaza aid distribution plan after today’s regional visits by U.S. envoys. He also extended Mexico tariff talks by 90 days, delaying steep levies on cars, metals, and fentanyl-linked goods. Lastly, the CDC reported a rise in kindergarten vaccine exemptions and the highest number of measles cases in over three decades.
