Texas approves redistricting as California moves to counter with new maps – National

The national redistricting battle enters its next phase Thursday as California Democrats are scheduled to pass a new congressional map that creates five winnable seats for their party, a direct counter to the Texas House’s approval of a new map to create more conservative-leaning seats in that state. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has engineered the high-risk strategy in response to President Donald Trump’s own brinkmanship. Trump pushed Texas Republicans to reopen the legislative maps they passed in 2021 to squeeze out up to five new GOP seats to help the party stave off a midterm defeat. California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks about the “Election Rigging Response Act” at a press conference at the Democracy Center, Japanese American National Museum on August 14, 2025, in...

Global warming may worsen world`s well-being by 2.3 per cent by 2100: Study

A continued global warming could bring down the world`s emotional well-being by 2.3 per cent by 2100, according to a study that shows how climate change threatens one`s daily experience and not just health and economic stability. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others in the US, analysed 1.2 billion social media posts of 2019 from 157 countries. Findings published in the journal One Earth show that daily maximum temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius can worsen people`s emotional well-being, with poorer countries impacted disproportionately -- almost thrice -- compared to richer ones. Policymakers cannot truly assess the social costs of climate change or design equitable interventions to protect citizens` physical and psyc...

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. If you’ve been eyeing Samsung’s latest foldable, now might be the time to make the jump. Samsung just dropped the price of the 512GB Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's price to $1,779.99, a full $340 off its regular $2,119.99 price—maybe to take some attention off Google's recently revealed Pixel 10 lineup.

The deal applies to just the Jet Black color option, but you might need to take a few extra clicks to see the deal: The main product page defaults to the 256GB model. You’ll ne...
