Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is now directing an effort to counteract Virginia’s gerrymander, calling for a special session this week to explore whether the Sunshine State could redraw its own congressional districts. “Today, I announced that I will be convening a special session of the Legislature focused on redistricting to ensure that Florida’s congressional maps accurately reflect the population of our state,” DeSantis said in a January announcement, emphasizing changing demographics in Florida. If passed, Florida would have the opportunity to redraw at least three or four new Republican seats. Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York believes Republican redistricting is turning voters off, and it could turn Florida and Texas blue. “Our message to Florida Republicans is, ‘F around and find out,’” Jeffries told reporters on Wednesday. “Under no circumstances are Texas Republicans picking up five seats,” he added. “They’ll be fortunate if they get two or three, while in California, we are going to get all five.” DeSantis blasted the leader’s remarks, stating that Jeffries’ involvement would surely tip the scales in Republicans’ favor. “Please. Be my guest. I will pay for you to come down to Florida to campaign,” he countered. “I’ll put you up in the Florida governor’s mansion. We will take you fishing.” DeSantis added, “There’s nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Jeffries everywhere around this state.” Some Republicans warn that redistricting is fraught with problems. “No matter what else happens, that is going to have to be addressed,” DeSantis said last December, referring to a pending decision from the Supreme Court that could change the landmark Voting Rights Act. He’s argued that Florida should act before the high court weighs in on the case. Proposed lines haven’t been made public yet. The lawsuit, involving Louisiana’s congressional maps, regards how much race can factor into redistricting plans, and the court appeared inclined to limit the practice during October oral arguments Florida’s potential adoption would undo Virginia’s vote. The commonwealth currently consists of six Democratic seats and five Republican seats. The new measure will likely give them four more. Democrats would win 10 of the 11 House seats, while Republicans would receive one. However, the Virginia redistricting is in trouble. They didn’t follow the Constitution. A Virginia court found the redistricting unconstitutional, so we will have to see how that goes.

The Trump administration has dropped its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, which will pave the way for Trump’s nominee Kevin Warsh to be confirmed as Powell’s successor. The investigation centered on the cost of renovations at the Washington, D.C., offices of the Federal Reserve, and whether Powell lied to Congress about it. The project was expected to cost about $1.9 billion, but the number ended up closer to $2.5 billion, according to Bloomberg. “This morning the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve has been asked to scrutinize the building costs overruns – in the billions of dollars – that have been borne by taxpayers,” Jeanine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a statement posted to X on Friday morning. She added that the inspector general is being asked to provide a report “in short order” to ensure that it will answering “the questions that led this office to issue subpoenas.” “Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry. Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so,” she continued. Critics of the investigation said that it risked the independence of the Federal Reserve—as Trump has been a staunch critic of Powell over interest rates. The president has repeatedly demanded the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates much more aggressively. The decision to end the probe could satisfy an ultimatum from Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), a Trump critic, to move Warsh’s nomination out of the Senate Banking Committee. “You have extraordinary credentials. They’re impeccable,” Tillis said at a committee hearing with Warsh earlier this week, according to The Hill. Tillis bluntly stated over X that Warsh “is a great nominee to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and I look forward to supporting him out of committee once the DOJ drops their bogus investigation into Chairman Powell that threatens the independence of the Fed.”

On Thursday, St. George’s Day—which celebrates St. George, the patron saint of England—Great Britain’s leftist prime minister Keri Starmer took aim at the nationalists who want to take their country back from the wave of immigrants who have inundated their country, calling them “plastic patriots.” “St George’s flag stands for unity over hatred and decency over division,” Starmer wrote on X. “Those are the values I will always fight for. Some try to hijack our flag to spread hate, I reject their plastic patriotism.” St George’s flag stands for unity over hatred and decency over division. Those are the values I will always fight for.

Nearly two dozen people were injured, including War Department employees, when two commuter buses crashed head-on at the Pentagon Metro Station Friday morning.
