Judge Issues Critical Ruling On New Florida Congressional Map

A Florida judge on Tuesday declined to temporarily block the state’s new congressional map, which is expected to give the GOP four additional U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterm elections. As a result, the map will remain in place while a lawsuit challenging it plays out. Florida Circuit Court Judge Joshua Hawkes denied a request by several voting and civil rights groups, who argued that the map violates a state ban on partisan gerrymandering. The lawsuit is likely to reach the Florida Supreme Court. Axios: Florida judge denies temporary injunction to block newly enacted 24R-4D congressional map of the state “The fight likely ends at the Florida Supreme Court, where DeSantis appointed six of seven justices and all seven were appointed by Republican governors.” Link to… pic.twitter.com/o6NDzj1c2V — Politics & Poll Tracker (@PollTracker2024) May 26, 2026 The Hill shared further: DeSantis signed the map into law earlier this month after convening a short special session of the Legislature in which he pressed lawmakers to pass it. The new map could impact as many as four Democrats in the state, which currently has a 20-8 GOP advantage in its congressional delegation. Critics who sued over the new map argue that it violates the Florida Constitution, which bans lawmakers from redrawing maps for partisan gain and undercutting minority voters from fair representation. They also argue that the map has become less compact, urging the court to block it from being used before the November elections. Hawkes, however, argued that the groups didn’t sufficiently prove that the map was made with partisan intent and that it was too close to the election to introduce changes to voters. The plaintiffs said they plan to appeal. “Because Floridians of all political backgrounds are so clearly against partisan gerrymandering, we will exhaust all legal options to make sure a map this partisan does not last the rest of this decade,” said Amy Keith, executive director of Common Cause Florida, one of the plaintiffs, according to The New York Times. “The primary is less than three months away, and the general less than six months,” Hawkes wrote, according to the outlet. “The public interest weighs more in favor of certainty than a haphazard judicial mandate of discarded maps,” he added. A Florida judge declined to block the state’s new congressional map for the 2026 elections. pic.twitter.com/eHWt44TSk8 — SCOTUS Wire (@scotus_wire) May 26, 2026 More from The New York Times: Lawmakers were preparing to vote on it when the Supreme Court issued a long-awaited decision that weakened the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act; the ruling set off a scramble across Republican-held Southern states to redraw voting districts. The court found that Louisiana lawmakers had unconstitutionally relied on race when they drew a 2024 congressional map to include a second majority-Black district. Mr. DeSantis had predicted such an outcome and used it to justify redrawing Florida’s map, citing a majority-Black district in South Florida. The state’s new map not only carved up that Democratic-held district, making other districts around it more Republican-leaning, but also did away with Democratic-held seats in the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas. The case before Judge Hawkes, whom Mr. DeSantis appointed in 2020, did not center on race. Rather, three voting rights groups argued that the map violates the ban on partisan gerrymandering that Florida voters passed in 2010 under the Fair Districts amendments. The DeSantis aide who drew the new map told state lawmakers last month that he had done so based partly on the partisan breakdown of voters. “This case is unusual, because the map drawer admitted on the public record that the districts were drawn with partisan data and without the need to comply with the Fair District amendment,” Christina Ford, a lawyer with Equal Ground, one of three groups that sued, said in a virtual court hearing in mid-May. Lawyers for the DeSantis administration and for state lawmakers countered that the plaintiffs had not proven a partisan intent behind the new map, and Judge Hawkes agreed.

NFL Pro Bowler Arrested And Faces Multiple Domestic Violence Charges – “Vehemently” Denies Allegations

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was arrested on Tuesday in Wisconsin and booked on several domestic violence charges. “Jacobs, 28, was booked on charges of battery (domestic abuse, criminal damage to property), domestic abuse, disorderly conduct (domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation) and intimidation of a victim,” ESPN reports. “After a complaint on May 23 and a subsequent investigation, Packers RB Josh Jacobs was arrested this morning and booked into Brown County Jail on five charges,” ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter wrote.

According to the records, Jacobs was being held without bond. The Hobart-Lawrence PD was dispatched to the alleged disturbance involving Jacobs on Saturday. “This remains an active and ongoing investigation. No further information will be released at this time,” Michael Renkas, chief of the Hobart-Lawrence PD said in a statement. Jacobs, through his attorneys, denied the allegations. “Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public. We ask for fairness and restraint while the judicial process takes its course,” attorneys David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Clarence Duchac said in a statement. The Packers said the team is “aware of the matter involving Josh Jacobs,” the New York Post stated. “As it is an ongoing legal situation, we will withhold further comment,” the team added.

Pam Bondi Appointed To New Position By President Trump

President Trump has appointed former Attorney General Pam Bondi to a panel focused on AI policy, Axios reports. According to the outlet, Bondi will be on the “Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).” JUST IN – Trump appoints Pam Bondi to White House AI panel. Bondi will be tasked with facilitating coordination between the government and AI companies on the panel. Bondi will also serve in a newly established advisory role on national infrastructure. pic.twitter.com/zs4wMDPTI0 — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) May 27, 2026 Axios shared further: The panel is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios. It also includes more than a dozen tech executives, including Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Bondi will be charged with facilitating coordination between the government and the tech titans on the panel. “Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president’s team, and I’m thrilled for her and for all of us that she’s going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces,” Vice President JD Vance said in a statement. It was also disclosed that Bondi has quietly been battling thyroid cancer. Bondi reportedly received the diagnosis after leaving the Justice Department. However, she has undergone treatment and is now in recovery. REPORT: Former AG Pam Bondi Diagnosed With Cancer More from the New York Post: The ex-AG received praise on social media for how she’s handled the dreaded diagnosis. “Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s a** the last few weeks,” podcast host and former White House official Katie Miller wrote on X. “[Bondi] has a heart of gold,” Miller added. Most thyroid cancers are permanently curable with treatment, according to the Cleveland Clinic. With a five-year survival rate of over 98%, the prognosis for patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer is considered “excellent.” Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, secretly battled thyroid cancer while serving a high-profile role in the White House during the president’s first term, he revealed in his memoir.

REPORT: Former AG Pam Bondi Diagnosed With Cancer

This is terrible news. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly been quietly battling cancer over the past several weeks.

Per Axios: Driving the news: Bondi, whom Trump ousted as AG last month, will be on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). The panel is chaired by former White House AI adviser David Sacks and White House science adviser Michael Kratsios. It also includes more than a dozen tech executives, including Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison… What they’re saying: “Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president’s team, and I’m thrilled for her and for all of us that she’s going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces,” Vice President JD Vance said in a statement. Bondi will also serve in a newly established advisory role on national infrastructure. Between the lines: Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after departing the Justice Department, according to a source. She underwent treatment and is recovering. Most likely, Bondi will be okay. Thyroid cancer is one of the least deadly kinds, with a 98-99% survival rate. But still, cancer is awful to deal with. Sadly, we’ve been hearing about a lot of people getting cancer lately — including President Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Why? Because a healthy person wants a million things in life, but a sick person only wants one.  To get better. So if you have cancer or know someone who has cancer, you’re going to want to watch this immediately! Bookmark it too. I am so glad I got to meet Rick Hill today and hear his story. I have no idea how I never heard this before, but 50 years ago Rick was diagnosed with aggressive Stage 3 terminal cancer, which he has documented by a letter from the Mayo Clinic. It was real and it was bad. The doctors basically told him to say his goodbyes to his family because he would be dead in days or maybe weeks, but probably days. Then through a series of strange events Rick finds himself checking out of the Mayo Clinic and heading down to Tijuana for a treatment regiment that had him cancer free in 21 days. Look folks, I’m just telling his story and you can do with it what you will, but I want to get this message out to as many people as we possibly can. Oh, and it’s not just Rick’s story, not just some one off. In fact, there is a book documenting hundreds of case studies of similar results going back decades, all tied to the Richardson Cancer Clinic: I’m telling you folks, this blew me away! And speaking of books, have you heard of “The Creature From Jekyll Island”? It’s a pretty famous book exposing the Federal Reserve Bank, but until today I had no idea that the author wrote a second book….about the very protocol that saved Rick Hill’s life: This community has been MAHA 50+ years before RFK Jr. came along! It’s truly incredible, but they’re facing extreme censorship for their message so I was only able to upload this to Rumble and X, and I have those links for you below.

And I would also add this: I would never advise anyone to STOP their current cancer treatments if you are on them.  The only thing I would say is what do you have to lose?  Why not try this in parallel?  If Rick and all the other people giving their testimonies are wrong and it doesn’t work for you, what harm is there in trying?  It reminds me so much of when President Trump passed “Right To Try” and said let them try!  What do you have to lose?  Exactly!  That would be how I would approach it, and I also plan to start taking a daily dose as preventative care.

BREAKING: President Trump-Backed Ken Paxton Surges in Texas Runoff as Early Returns Show Massive Lead

The Texas GOP Senate runoff is turning into a rout. As polls closed Tuesday night, prediction markets gave President Trump-backed Attorney General Ken Paxton a 97% chance of defeating incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Then the actual votes started coming in, and the numbers were even more brutal than expected.

Up 22 points with 25% reporting! https://t.co/rNYMdvVR7K pic.twitter.com/3ZxFUpNQmc — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) May 27, 2026 One election-day batch showed Paxton pulling 87% of the vote, a jaw-dropping number that left even MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki stunned on air. Kornacki called it a “74-point margin” in that drop and noted it came with “full knowledge of the President Trump endorsement.” OMG. Ken Paxton just WON an election day vote drop in Texas with **87%** of the vote KORNACKI: "Oh my goodness! Election day, full knowledge of the Trump endorsement…WOW. A 74-point margin!" Time to BRING IT HOME! pic.twitter.com/T647M2X9vu — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 27, 2026 The writing was already on the wall before the first ballot was counted. Cornyn’s campaign confirmed the senator would not appear at his own watch party, choosing instead to monitor results “privately.” The room itself reportedly had only about 50 chairs. President Trump endorsed Paxton ahead of the runoff, turning the race into a direct test of his ability to remove Republican incumbents he views as insufficiently loyal to the America First agenda. AP laid out the political setup before election night: President Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the GOP runoff for U.S. Senate, supercharging Paxton’s effort to oust Sen. John Cornyn. The endorsement arrived late in the race and immediately gave Paxton a major boost among Republican voters who see loyalty to President Trump as the defining issue. Cornyn entered the race with the power of incumbency and a massive spending advantage. His campaign and allied groups had spent roughly $90 million on advertising since last year, with much of the money aimed at attacking Paxton. But the race had become another test of whether old Senate Republicans can survive when President Trump chooses a challenger. Paxton’s side quickly turned the endorsement into campaign fuel, while Cornyn acknowledged the endorsement would matter but insisted Texas voters would decide the race. The timing was brutal for Cornyn because the President’s endorsement came as conservative voters were already questioning whether the longtime senator truly represented the MAGA base. Election night returns now suggest that argument landed hard. For Cornyn, it meant money could not erase the endorsement problem. It does not appear to have mattered. AP also explained why the runoff had national stakes beyond Texas: The runoff set up President Trump’s next opportunity to reshape the Republican Party by pushing out an incumbent he viewed as insufficiently loyal. Cornyn had criticized Trump before the 2024 campaign, and much of the primary fight centered on which candidate was more aligned with the President and his agenda. The geography mattered, too. Counties where President Trump had the strongest support were expected to help decide the outcome, especially if Paxton could turn the endorsement into a late surge among election-day voters. The winner of the Republican runoff will face Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in November. Democrats have been looking for any opening in Texas as they try to retake control of the U.S. Senate, but the GOP nominee will still begin the general election in one of the most important Republican states in the country. That is why tonight is bigger than one Senate race. It is another test of whether Republican primary voters are still rewarding President Trump’s picks over Washington incumbency. Early returns are answering that question loudly. In deep-red Texas, the Republican nominee is the heavy favorite in November. No major outlet had officially called the race at the time of this report, but with numbers like these, the math is running out fast for John Cornyn. The Trump endorsement appears to have broken the race open. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.
