CONGRESSIONAL RECESS: Members of Congress have headed home for their summer recess. Several lawmakers are holding town halls tonight, including Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., Rep. Troy Carter, D-Iowa, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.

Redistricting typically occurs once per decade in each state following the census. But Texas Republicans broke that tradition last week by proposing a new map mid-decade after Trump pushed them to redraw the state’s congressional districts so that the GOP would be more likely to win more seats in the midterm elections next year.
