Tennessee divides its majority-Black 9th Congressional District
into three districts that extend into white suburbs, turning all
its districts into Republican seats. The NAACP has sued Tennessee
to block the redistricting. Other Republican dominated states are
rushing to redraw their own districts after the Supreme Court's
Louisiana v. Callais decision. The CIA releases a report that
contends the Trump administration is inflating its military

with Iran in the Hormuz Strait does not violate the ceasefire.
Tom Homan claims there are 20 million undocumented immigrants in

olive wood.
