The redistribution of the confrontation increases in Texas after the Democrats disperse, refusing to the State House a quorum
By Ben Kamisar, Natasha Korecki, Ryan Chandler and Adam Edelman
The Texas State House briefly recognized this afternoon in the middle of a confrontation of the majority of the GOP on the majority of the GOP Plan to redraw the lines of the State CongressWith republican legislators who vote to approve civilian arrest warrants targeting the dozens of democrats who fled the state, preventing the Republicans from planning.
Most of the 50 and more democrats who left the state are in Illinois, where they were greeted by the Democratic Governor JB Pritzker. Others are in Boston and Albany, New York, where Democratic governor Kathy Hochul, In response to Texas, put pressure on a change in state law to allow redistribution in the coming years.
There, out of reach of the State Sergeant and the Department of Public Security of Texas, the mandates can have little practical effect. But at home, the Democrats are faced with montage fines, and the Republican Governor Greg Abbott threatens to start democratic legislators from his functions or send the police to force them to return to the state.
Because the activities of the Chamber require a quorum, 51 of the 62 members of the Democratic Chamber of the State can, by remaining outside the state, prevent the Chamber of State led by the Republicans from moving forward with the legislation.
Absences deprived the room of its quorum, confirmed a reality quickly after the legislators accelerated this afternoon.
Republican Dustin Burrows urged the dozens of democrats who fled the state as having “abandoned their post and turned their back on the voters they swore to represent”.
The Democrats have decreed the move of the Republicans as a power game and criticized them for having advanced the redistribution bill before having responded to the legislation with devastating floods this summer who killed more than 100 people in the county of Kerr, outside San Antonio. Today, Burrows retaliated by arguing that Democrats delay their ability to evolve other legislative priorities, as tackling the floods.
The representative of the Democratic State Ann Johnson of Houston, speaking last night after his arrival at a press conference in a shopping center about 30 miles west of Chicago, said that the redistribution bill only occurs because Trump is “afraid of the electorate next November”.
The White House is looking for a new BLS chef with “credibility” and “experience”
By Jonathan Allen, Katherine Doyle and Peter Nicholas
The White House officials began to rush the week to find a permanent replacement after President Donald Trump dismissed On Friday, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erika MCENTARFER, following a lower than expected July job report and the drastic recovery of employment for the previous two months.
Steve Bannon, a Senior White House advisor to Trump’s first term, influencing the Maga du Gop wing, pushes hard for EJ Antoni, the chief economist of the Conservative Heritage Foundation. Antoni, a contributor to the 2025 project political section, has been long -standing BLS data. On the Bannon podcast last week, Antoni asked that Mcentarfer be dismissed shortly before Trump attracts relaxation.
In an interview with NBC News this afternoon, Antoni said that he had not been contacted by anyone in the White House about work. West Wing officials are “still traps” on the candidates for the post confirmed by the Senate, said an assistant from the White House.
The White House did not make a request for a comment on the question of whether Antoni is being studied.
Trump said yesterday that he planned to announce a choice In the next three or four days.
“It will be to have to be someone who has enormous credibility and experience,” said a senior White House official who noted that Trump would probably listen to the thoughts of the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett and Stephen Miran, president of the National Economic Council.
The hiring of such a person could potentially be a challenge for Trump. By ousting Mcentarfer, he founded shamelessly that the number of jobs was subject to political manipulation – “faked in order to make Republicans and me, look bad“He said-raising the spectrum that a new commissioner would not publish figures that made Trump look bad.
“I find it so difficult to believe that your average person hears Trump has dismissed someone because he said he manipulated data and who replaced them was going to produce trustworthy data,” said Kathryn Anne Edwards, independent economic consultant and host of a podcast called Optimist.
