Cal­i­for­nia Gov­er­nor Gavin New­som push­es for a spe­cial elec­tion to redraw the state’s con­gres­sion­al map, coun­ter­ing Texas GOP’s redis­trict­ing efforts. Mean­while, Texas Democ­rats return after flee­ing to block a spe­cial ses­sion, as Gov­er­nor Abbott plans anoth­er ses­sion. In Win­ston-Salem, Forsyth Coun­ty Schools face a $50M deficit for 2024–2025 due to mis­man­age­ment, with a state audit uncov­er­ing $75M in COVID fund bonus­es paid in 2022–2023, high­light­ing nation­wide issues of finan­cial mis­man­age­ment while home­less­ness and edu­ca­tion strug­gles per­sist.

  • Gavin New­som calls for a spe­cial elec­tion to allow for a new con­gres­sion­al map in Cal­i­for­nia. 
  • The democ­rats will go back to Texas today. The spe­cial ses­sion in Texas ends. The arrest was for them get­ting out of town while leg­is­la­tion was in ses­sion. Gov­er­nor Abbott says he will call for a spe­cial ses­sion again. 
  • Win­ston-Salem Forsyth Coun­ty Schools is not only rough­ly $50M in the hole for the 2024–2025 school year from mis­man­age­ment of funds, but now the state audit revealed that the board gave out $75M in staff bonus­es from COVID funds in 2022 & 2023. This is just an exam­ple of what has hap­pened all across the coun­try as home­less peo­ple are lay­ing in the streets and our chil­dren can’t read and write.
