Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.

TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision

The Supreme Court has approved Texas’s heavily Republican-favored map for 2026. That means Prop 50 will now go into effect to counter the Texas redistricting. Virginia is also considering adding new Democratic-leaning seats to push back against Trump’s redistricting efforts in other states.
