C-SPAN’s “Ceasefire” — Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) analyze the fight over control of the Strait of Hormuz and which side appears to be gaining the upper hand in the region.
“He (Pres. Trump) tried to pick a kinetic war with Iran in 2026, he lost it, he has lost this war, because they exercised chokepoint control over the Strait of Hormuz,” Rep. Auchincloss said. “There is no plan, and there is no credible way that we can demonstrate to the world the Strait is truly internationally passable.”

During his Thursday press conference on California’s state budget, Democratic governor Gavin Newsom criticized recent redistricting efforts across several states, calling them “Jim Crow 2.0” and “sick.”
“This is Jim Crow 2.0…The number of African Americans that have been eliminated from key positions…it’s sick.”
Gov. Newsom specifically pointed to Jeff Landry and Louisiana’s efforts to redraw its congressional map following a Supreme Court decision — a move critics argue could eliminate a significant share of the state’s majority-Black congressional districts.
“I feel deep responsibility to do something about this. Nothing to do with me as governor, just as a human being.”

Vice President JD Vance praised Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) for her independence at a rally in Bangor, Maine on Wednesday.
“Sometimes, I get frustrated with Susan Collins. I almost wish that she was more partisan,” the Vice President said. “But the thing I love about Susan Collins is that she is independent because Maine is an independent state.”
“Frankly, if she was as partisan as I sometimes wish that she was, she would not be a good fit for the people of Maine,” Vice President Vance said.
Vice President Vance said the Maine Republican could not attend the rally for fear of missing votes in the Senate on Wednesday.
Sen. Collins, a long-time Republican representing Maine, is the only GOP elected official statewide office in Maine and the only Republican member of Congress from any New England state. She is set to face a tight re-election battle this November against presumptive Democratic nominee Graham Platner.
