Georgia Republicans Betray Voters, Reject Calls to Redistrict for 2028 Elections
Julia Cassady / Townhall Tipsheet
Citing time concerns, Georgia Republicans rejected Governor Kemp’s call to redraw congressional and legislative districts ahead of the 2028 election cycle. The redistricting plan came after an April Supreme Court decision weakened the Voting Rights Act, saying racially gerrymandered districts are unconstitutional. House Speaker Jon Burns (R-GA) announced the decision following a special session on Wednesday.
According to the AP, Burns said he wanted time to understand how race can and cannot be used according to the ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which ruled against a racially gerrymandered district in Louisiana. He said a full understanding of the ramifications is necessary for redistricting, and he is more focused on economic issues than playing “partisan games.”
“When the House learned that it was placed on the call for a special session, we knew it was not the right path forward for our state at this time. We believe that it is important to do things the Georgia way — responsibly, transparently, and with ample opportunity for public input,” said House Speaker Jon Burns in a presser at the state Capitol.

Hakeem Jeffries caught off guard when pressed on high gas prices under Biden compared to Trump
Lindsay Kornick / Fox News
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was confronted Monday morning over high gas prices under the Biden administration when criticizing President Donald Trump over “skyrocketing gas prices.”
Jeffries remarked on gas prices while discussing Trump’s peace deal with Iran after months of war and hostilities on “Good Day New York.”
“It was a reckless war of choice that has obviously cost the American people significantly, particularly as it relates to skyrocketing gas prices in an environment where the cost of living was already too high,” Jeffries said.
After Jeffries emphasized the importance of “solving our own problems” in America, co-host Rosanna Scotto reminded him that former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden also saw high gas prices during their terms.
“Gas prices were up under Obama too. And Biden, right?” Scotto said. Read more, and see video here.

‘Secure America Act’ Heads to President Trump’s Desk, Funding ICE and CBP
Cameron Arcand – Townhall
The House of Representatives passed the “Secure America Act” on Tuesday – a reconciliation bill that will fund ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through early 2029. The $70 billion proposal now heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for final approval.
The vote was 214-212 along party lines, and the legislation passed the Senate last week, with Democrats and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voting against it. Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) voted against the legislation, along with all Democrats.
Speaker Mike Johnson took a victory lap after the bill’s passage: “With today’s vote, House and Senate Republicans have officially ended the third Democrat government shutdown of this Congress,” Johnson said in a statement. “And here’s the end result of Democrats’ record-setting obstruction: CBP and ICE will now be funded for the remainder of President Trump’s term and Democrats will have no ability to…Read more here.

The Trump Administration Launches the Largest-Ever Denaturalization Effort
Dmitri Bolt / Townhall Tipsheet
The Trump administration is expected to launch a massive denaturalization campaign targeting legal immigrants who have committed fraud in the United States.
While federal law has long allowed officials to do this, administrations have typically shied away from the lengthy and complex process. However, the Trump administration plans to target 17 legal immigrants who have committed serious crimes, including lying on documents used to obtain citizenship, other kinds of fraud, and sex offenses against children.
“American citizenship is a privilege, and it must be earned honestly. If you come here break our laws, and lie in your immigration proceedings, you forfeit that privilege,” Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin wrote in a statement. “DHSgov will not stand idly by while Americans are harmed by criminals including sex offenders, perpetrators of fraud, and drug…Read more, see Xs and video here.
