A Democratic Texas lawmaker has chosen to spend the night in the state House chamber to avoid being shadowed by law enforcement. Republicans in the Texas House require Democrats to sign agreements for constant surveillance by state officers. Rep. Nicole Collier refused and stayed on the House floor. This move is part of a larger battle over redrawing U.S. House maps. Democrats returned to Texas, allowing the Republican-run Legislature to proceed with redistricting. The fight over control of Congress is intensifying, with California Democrats also advancing new congressional boundaries in response.
Authorities are investigating the cause of an explosion aboard a cargo ship that was leaving the Port of Baltimore when it issued a mayday call. Officials say no injuries were reported. The ship W-Sapphire was transporting coal en route to East Africa when the explosion occurred near the site of last year’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The Port of Baltimore’s main shipping channel was closed Tuesday morning after the Coast Guard established a safety zone around the incident site. Officials didn't provide a timeline for when the channel was expected to reopen.
Hurricane Erin is forcing evacuations on North Carolina’s Outer Banks as it threatens to whip up wild waves and tropical force winds. Forecasters say the monster storm will turn away from the eastern U.S. and won’t make landfall. But they predict it will churn up dangerous rip currents along North Carolina’s barrier islands and could swamp roads with waves of up to 15 feet. Coastal flooding is expected to begin Tuesday and continue through Thursday on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Erin was a Category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds Tuesday morning.
President Donald Trump said he’s begun arrangements for a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a pathway to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump also affirmed that the U.S. would back European security guarantees but stopped short of committing U.S. troops to a collective effort to prevent Moscow from reinvading its neighbor. Trump also has threatened to upend U.S. elections, getting rid of both mail voting and the voting machines used nearly nationwide. Based on the Constitution, U.S. elections are managed by the states, and there is little to no way for Trump to change this.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that the illegal immigrant truck driver, accused in a deadly Florida crash, received a work permit under the Biden administration after being denied one during the Trump administration.
