Garcia explains why the Texas redistricting fight transcends the particulars of the Lone Star State as a central part of Donald Trump's plan not just to steal the 2026 midterm elections but to stay in office past 2028-and the Jefrey Epstein scandal, far from subsiding during the congressional recess, is only gathering steam.
