Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this fiery episode, Tom and co-host Drew break down a whirlwind week in global politics, economics, and culture. They kick things off analyzing the passage of the Epstein Transparency Act and the political maneuvering surrounding its release, digging into why only one member voted against it and what's really happening behind the scenes. From there, they dive into international developments, unpacking Texas Governor Abbott's controversial decision to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, Saudi Crown Prince MBS's jaw-dropping $1 trillion investment commitment to the US, and the financial turbulence shaking Japan as the yen carry trade unwinds. The looming tensions between China and Japan get a spotlight as well, with an exploration of what's at stake for Taiwan and global chip manufacturing. Finally, the conversation takes a turn toward culture, as Tom and Drew tackle a viral debate: do men really care about women's careers? Tom draws from personal experience to unpack the psychology behind modern relationships and the pressures at play—and what it means for both men and women navigating today's dating scene. Packed with hot takes, big questions, and sharp insight, this episode cuts straight to the heart of what's shaping our world right now. Let's dive in! What's up, everybody?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's one trillion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia, the political risk created by the lingering 9/11 lawsuit, the White House's continued push for foreign labor, and new polling that shows major headwinds for Republicans. The global brief then moves to Russian sabotage across Europe, Chinese made vehicles spying on Western militaries, and new research from Australia on autism and prenatal nutrition. Trump Signs One Trillion Dollar Saudi Deal: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to sweeping partnerships that span nuclear energy, rare earth mining, financial services, liquified natural gas, advanced AI chips, and the sale of up to forty eight F-35 fighter jets. The deal promises major job gains in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Arizona, and Louisiana. Bryan notes that Congress must still approve the fighter sales and that Israel will require a guaranteed technological edge before any jets reach Riyadh. He also warns that the 9/11 families' lawsuit against the Saudi government could disrupt everything. Court filings allege that two Saudi linked men assisted the first hijackers upon arrival in the United States, and a judge has ruled that the evidence is strong enough to move forward. Foreign Labor Controversy and Political Fallout: Trump defended his plan to use H-1B workers for new chip and battery factories, arguing that American workers are not trained for these roles. He acknowledged that the stance is hurting his poll numbers but insisted that "smart people" support his position. Bryan outlines why many conservatives see this as a repeat of past Big Tech abuses and why Silicon Valley's financial support could become a liability for the White House if working class voters feel sidelined. Polls show two thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Trump's approval rating sits around thirty eight percent in public surveys, and Democrats hold a fourteen point lead on the congressional generic ballot. Economic Signals Remain Mixed: The trade deficit fell twenty four percent as Americans purchased more U.S. made goods, suggesting the tariffs are strengthening domestic manufacturing. Construction data shows modest growth in housing but weakness in commercial projects. Foreclosures are rising, and Zillow reports that homeowners now face sixteen thousand dollars in annual upkeep on average. Bryan cautions that unless working families feel real relief by summer, the midterms could be difficult for Republicans. Russia Sabotages European Rail Lines: Poland confirmed that Russian intelligence directed two sabotage attempts on rail lines used to deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine. Explosives were placed to derail a passenger train, and investigators arrested two Ukrainian men recruited through online channels. Bryan connects this attack to a wider hybrid war across Europe directed by the GRU, including recent attempts to set off explosives in air cargo shipments. Italy's defense minister declared that Europe is under attack, although Bryan notes that European militaries are too hollowed out to respond meaningfully for years to come. China's Electric Cars and Buses Act as Spy Platforms: The United Kingdom warned that Chinese made hybrid and electric vehicles can record conversations and transmit data back to Beijing. Norway found that Chinese electric buses can be hacked and remotely controlled even in deep underground environments. Israel seized seven hundred Chinese government vehicles after discovering data gathering sensors. Bryan reminds listeners that he first warned of this surveillance threat years ago and says Western governments are only now catching up. Australia Links Prenatal Nutrition to Lower Autism Risk: Researchers found that prenatal supplements containing folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and other micronutrients are associated with a thirty percent reduction in autism risk. Scientists suspect a connection to the mother's gut microbiome and its influence on fetal development. Bryan notes that similar gut based treatments have shown promise in Europe and the United States and encourages listeners to remain open to emerging science.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Saudi one trillion dollar deal, F-35 sale approval Congress, Saudi 9/11 lawsuit al-Bayoumi al-Thumairy, Trump H-1B foreign workers battery factories, U.S. trade deficit drop tariffs, Poland Russia rail sabotage Ukraine, Chinese electric vehicle spying UK Norway Israel, prenatal vitamins autism Australia study

Today's Headlines: The Senate unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but Trump still hasn't signed it — and with new “active investigations” conveniently launched by AG Pam Bondi, there's a built-in excuse to redact whatever he wants. And again: Trump could release the files anytime, so the delay is… telling. Trump's politically motivated case against James Comey is unraveling after it came out the grand jury never saw the actual final indictment. On Ukraine, Trump is floating a plan that would hand Russia more eastern territory in exchange for a U.S. “security guarantee” for Ukraine — which seems like a great way to encourage more Russian aggression. At the U.S.–Saudi investment forum, Trump publicly trashed his own Fed chair and threatened his Treasury Secretary over interest rates. Totally stable behavior. And finally, Nicki Minaj is now functioning as Trump's unofficial diplomat, giving a U.N. speech about alleged anti-Christian extremism in Nigeria — a claim contradicted by actual data and Nigeria's own government, but politically useful for the administration, so here we are.

On this episode of the Cajun Knight Live, we spend a fair amount of time talking about the situation with American politics. Specifically the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and what this could mean moving forward. We also talk about the Saudi prince upping the ante and promising to invest $1 trillion into the US. We then shift over to a former Canadian snowboarder who just made the CIAs top 10 most wanted list for his cartel affiliations, before shifting back over to Trump where the media is falsely claiming he slept with his assistant and the MAGA movement may be in the process of being replaced with the America First movement. Some are speculating this to be a foreign psyops. Speaking of foreign psyops, we then shift over to China, and discuss the AI driven cyberattack that was just launched on the US. We also talk about the 3 new Chinese astronauts stranded in space, and the Chinese bridge that just collapsed, showing the infrastructure issues within the country.To join us next Wednesday at 9pm cst, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

“Trillions on the line: Trump, Saudi Arabia, and the global dollar

In the 7 AM hour, Andrew Langer & Julie Gunlock discussed: WMAL GUEST: MORGAN WRIGHT (Cybersecurity Expert) on Yesterday's Cloudflare Outage NY POST: Trump Announces Saudi Arabia Will Be Designated a ‘Major Non-NATO Ally’ WMAL GUEST: JOSH CHRISTENSON (New York Post DC Bureau Chief) on Would-Be Trump Assassin Thomas Crooks Where to find more about WMAL's morning show: Follow Podcasts on Apple, Audible and Spotify Follow WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" on X: @WMALDC, @LarryOConnor, @JGunlock, @PatricePinkfile, and @HeatherHunterDC Facebook: WMALDC and Larry O'Connor Instagram: WMALDC Website: WMAL.com/OConnor-Company Episode: Wednesday, November 19, 2025 / 7 AM HourSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine fire up a powerhouse episode centered on Trump's signing of the Epstein files release, an event they frame as a masterclass in strategic timing and narrative jiu-jitsu. They walk through the history of Epstein in the Q drops, the media's panic, the Clay Higgins “no” vote, and Trump's statement detailing how Democrats were far more entangled with Epstein than he ever was. From Congress' unanimous vote to the DOJ's document handoff, they argue Trump forced his opponents to beg for their own exposure. The conversation expands into global geopolitics, including Trump and Elon Musk's coordinated “breakup,” the Saudi summit, MBS' trillion-dollar investment commitments, and the role of the Sovereign Alliance in reshaping the world order. Brad and Zak dismantle claims that “MAGA is dead,” listing major wins: mass ICE removals, DEI rollback, massive foreign investment, border expansion, the destruction of narco-terror pipelines, and the quiet prosecution of corrupt officials. They push back on doomerism and remind listeners that real change takes time, but the trajectory is unmistakably rising.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the 9/11 families still lack answers from Saudi Arabia's involvement in September 11th. Mohammed bin Salman's claim that Osama bin Laden used Saudis to destroy U.S.-Saudi relations is crap. MBS says he wants a two state solution with Israel and Palestine but he won't take in one Palestinian from Gaza. Later, NY Post's Miranda Devine criticizes the FBI and Secret Service for mishandling the investigation into Thomas Crooks' attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania rally. An independent source uncovered Crooks' 17 online accounts revealing his ideological shift from pro-Trump supporter in 2019—issuing threats against Democrats—to anti-Trump critic by 2020, with increasingly violent rhetoric advocating terrorism, assassination, and interactions with a neo-Nazi. The Crooks files need to be released.  Also, Gov Mike Dunleavy calls in to discuss a new discovery at Alaska's Graphite Creek site near Nome which has uncovered vast reserves of graphite and rare earth elements potentially dealing a major blow to China's 90% dominance in these minerals. The project qualifies for Defense Production Act materials and plans to ship resources to an Ohio plant, maximizing value through by-product recovery. This find allows the U.S. to wean off China's rare earth minerals. Afterward, all of the so-called Epstein files will be released. Rep Clay Higgins was the only Congressman to vote against it, but he has a good point. There are innocent victims, witnesses and people who were helping investigators that do not want there name out in the media.  Finally, Dr Marc Siegel calls in to discuss his new book – The Miracles Among Us: How God's Grace Plays a Role in Healing.

President Donald Trump joyously welcomed Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, also known as MBS, to the White House on Tuesday. That's despite the fact that, according to US intelligence, MBS allegedly ordered the 2018 murder of Saudi dissident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The meeting was supposed to center on Saudi investments in the United States in exchange for military equipment and possible access to nuclear technology – as the US and Saudi Arabia become closer partners than ever before. So for more on what MBS's very friendly visit means for U.S.-Saudi relations, we spoke with Pod Save the World co-host Tommy Vietor.And in headlines, Education Secretary Linda McMahon works to "break up federal bureaucracy", the US takes one step closer to maybe possibly finally seeing the Epstein files, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he'll take the state's redistricting fight to the Supreme Court.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save The World – tinyurl.com/4n6y99muCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

SHOW  11-18-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1894 "THE ANGEL OF THE REVOLUTION" THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT GAZA. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Liz Peek Liz Peek discusses the "AI bubble," noting the Magnificent Seven stocks are priced to perfection amidst concerns that massive investments may not yield adequate returns, observes that although the market is "risk off" the US economy seems "okay" according to data points, and expresses alarm about New York Mayor-Elect Mamdani, a socialist without management expertise who is surrounding himself with ideologues, including Hassan Sheheryar, his transition director, who is "clearly anti-Semitic" and anti-Israel, raising significant concerns for the city.E 915-930 CONTINUED 930-945 Judy Dempsey Judy Dempsey addresses the rising costs and future decline of the global cocoa crop, linking it to transcontinental climate change caused by Amazon deforestation, criticizes the EU and NATO for reacting too slowly and lacking strategic vision concerning the Ukraine war and defense, notes European military infrastructure is inadequate for rapid deployment forcing reliance on ships instead of trains, and observes that while the Russian threat is understood by most member states, political fumbling in Germany is allowing the anti-NATO, pro-Russia AfD party to gain significant ground. 945-1000 Gregory Copley Gregory Copley discusses the US military presence off Venezuela, noting President Trump seeks a negotiated outcome with Maduro to avoid long-term intervention, covers Mohammed bin Salman's influence in the Abraham Accords and the challenge posed by Turkey-backed Hamas, analyzes the symbolic rail sabotage in Poland questioning Russian involvement, and addresses the declining viability of NATO's Article 5 and the potential for King Charles III to intervene in UK political chaos. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Charles Burton Charles Burton discusses his book, The Beaver and the Dragon, illustrating China's fundamental untrustworthiness and statistical manipulation, which has intensified under centralized leadership, noting Canada's past cooperation with China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) failed as officials often falsely reported data, and despite historical deception and security risks, there is a push in Canada to increase trade with China to offset trade issues with the United States, with Burton cautioning that trusting the Chinese Communist Party has always "gone badly wrong." 1015-1030 CONTINUED. 1030-1045 Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer discusses Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), calling him a deeply flawed but essential leader driving Saudi modernization and normalization with Israel, with a "pathway to a Palestinian state" as the current diplomatic objective, emphasizing that resolving the Gaza situation and achieving broader peace hinges on eliminating Hamas, while the region faces long-term challenges from Iran and Turkey, the latter complicating Israel's security operations in chaotic Syria, with the UN endorsement of the Trump 20-point plan for Gaza reconstruction considered a landmark win. 1045-1100 CONTINUED CONTINUED KING CHARLES THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Gregory Copley Gregory Copley discusses the US military presence off Venezuela, noting President Trump seeks a negotiated outcome with Maduro to avoid long-term intervention, covers Mohammed bin Salman's influence in the Abraham Accords and the challenge posed by Turkey-backed Hamas, analyzes the symbolic rail sabotage in Poland questioning Russian involvement, and addresses the declining viability of NATO's Article 5 and the potential for King Charles III to intervene in UK political chaos. 1115-1130 CONTINUED MBS 1130-1145 CONTINUED KING CHARLES 1145-1200 CONTINUED FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Mary Kissel Mary Kissel addresses three foreign policy dilemmas: regarding Venezuela, the US military buildup is seen as leverage to force dialogue with Maduro following a successful playbook used against North Korea; in Europe, she notes a dichotomy between committed Eastern European states and "weaker lazier" Western powers regarding support for Ukraine; and the China dilemma involves whether to treat Beijing as a legitimate trading partner or an enemy narco-terrorist state responsible for exporting fentanyl precursors, with Kissel suggesting current US policy is confused and benefits the CCP. 1215-1230 1230-1245 oseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg analyzes the BBC political bias scandal, which is significant because the BBC is "omnipresent" and arranges the "mental furniture for British society," noting the BBC, funded largely by a mandatory license fee, faced allegations ranging from deceptive editing of President Trump's remarks to the Arabic service pushing Hamas propaganda potentially fueling anti-Semitism, while domestically discussing the UK Labour Party's dilemma over controversial immigration policies to control illegal channel crossings, a crisis that has strengthened Nigel Farage's Reform party. 1245-100 AM

Today's Headlines: The House finally voted on releasing the Epstein files, and it was a blowout: 427–1, with Louisiana Republican Clay Higgins as the lone no vote. Speaker Mike Johnson is still trying to get the Senate to redact names (interesting), but survivors held a powerful press conference beforehand urging Trump to stop playing politics and just release the files himself. Meanwhile, the first real accountability domino fell: Larry Summers is stepping back from Harvard and the Center for American Progress over his deep Epstein ties — though OpenAI's board is staying suspiciously quiet about whether he's out there too. Over in the Oval Office, Trump hosted Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman for what was supposed to be a big investment-and-F-35s photo op, but it immediately derailed when reporters asked about Epstein and, awkwardly, MBS's role in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Trump waved that off with a casual “things happen,” then snapped at ABC's Mary Bruce for asking why he hasn't released the Epstein files, calling her a “terrible reporter” and demanding ABC lose its broadcast license. Very normal, very innocent behavior. In foreign policy news, the UK has reportedly stopped sharing intel on drug smuggling boats over concerns about recent U.S. strikes — something Secretary of State Marco Rubio swears is absolutely not happening because “it didn't come up once.” The courts were also busy. A federal judge said the DOJ's case against James Comey may have been tainted by “profound investigative missteps,” another court blocked Texas's new gerrymandered congressional map for 2026 (pending the inevitable SCOTUS appeal), and a bankruptcy judge finally approved a $7 billion Purdue Pharma settlement after six years of legal trench warfare — money that will go to families, governments, hospitals, and tribes devastated by the opioid crisis.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told US President Donald Trump that he wants Riyadh to join the Abraham Accords, the framework for the normalisation of ties between Israel and several Muslim states, but also wants to secure a “clear path” to Palestinian statehood. Saudi Arabia's de facto leader was speaking during a visit the White House, his first since the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which occurred inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.Also in the programme: Europe's uneasy standoff with Russia's so-called “shadow fleet”; and we hear from one of the scientists behind a new study which traces the origins of kissing back more than 21 million years...Photo: Donald Trump speaking at black-tie dinner.

Beyond a defense agreement and talk of the kingdom’s human rights record, the visit focused on joint U.S.-Saudi ventures, including minerals and helping Saudi Arabia build a civilian nuclear program.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pledged to boost Saudi Arabia's investment in the United States from $600 billion to $1 trillion.House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein files. The U.S. Senate has agreed to unanimously pass the bill and will send it to Trump once it arrives. The president has previously said he will sign it if it reaches his desk.A three-judge panel today blocked a congressional map redrawn by the Republican-led Texas legislature. The new map could have given Republicans five additional seats in the U.S. House.

President Trump just dropped a geopolitical bombshell approving the sale of the stealth F-35 to Saudi Arabia, potentially shattering Israel's decades-long aerial supremacy. As Riyadh inches toward the Abraham Accords on the condition of Palestinian statehood, the stakes skyrocket. Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum dissect the consequences for Israel, the U.S. and the broader Middle East...questioning everything from Saudi trustworthiness to the future of peace and war in the region.

Jon Herold unpacks a chaotic news cycle with equal parts analysis, frustration, and humor as he dives into the latest Epstein bill drama, Trump's remarks, congressional backroom deals, and why the media is spinning the vote as a humiliation. He questions whether the trillion-dollar Saudi commitments have produced any real-world investment yet, breaks down Trump's messaging on the MBS meeting, and highlights the White House's carefully crafted optics. Jon dissects Clay Higgins' lone “no” vote, MTG's claims about Plaskett's Epstein-era texts, and the bipartisan maneuvering that kept multiple censure resolutions off the table. He explores the psyop landscape, bots, infiltrators, influencers, suppression, and attempts to fracture Trump's base under the guise of “America First.” Jon also confronts the Comey indictment meltdown as DOJ attorneys admit the grand jury never saw the operative indictment, raising the possibility of dismissal on a procedural failure. With side tangents on scissoring, shrooms, Badlanders meetups, Twitter chaos, dental trauma, and the Gong Show energy of modern politics, Jon delivers a dense, irreverent, and revealing walk through Clown World's latest chapter.

In one of their most explosive episodes yet, Brad and Abbey break down the historic convergence of three massive storylines: the Epstein file release, MBS's White House visit, and the sudden reactivation of long-dormant Q-related themes. They analyze how Congress's overwhelming vote to release the Epstein records aligns with Trump's timing, MBS's trillion-dollar U.S. investment announcement, and the media's desperate attempts to redirect the narrative. Brad digs into the Q posts on Epstein, tunnels, temples, handlers, flight logs, Rachel Chandler, Maxwell, royal connections, and shows how they're all resurfacing at the exact moment MBS steps onto U.S. soil. Abbey connects the dots on psychological operations, Trump's bait-and-trap strategy, and why major players like Larry Summers and Reid Hoffman are suddenly on defense. Together they dissect Trump's brutal ABC takedown, the political fallout, Italian “human safari” investigations, Saudi purges, and the global power shift underway. With live clips, receipts, historical context, and raw emotion, this episode maps the moment the past, present, and the Q timeline crash into each other.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid plunge into a high-voltage episode of DEFCON ZERQ, exposing how coordinated global smokescreens are masking a much larger battle for control over energy, economics, and human perception. They break down the media's obsession with distractions...from Epstein theatrics to psychological operations, and map them against the real moves playing out behind the curtain: U.S.–Saudi energy dominance, BRICS fractures, China's weakening position, and a worldwide power struggle over resources and currency. Josh details the shift toward a bipolar world order, explaining how puppet governments, intelligence agencies, and proxy conflicts are being deployed to reshape alliances. Alpha ties it all together through the lens of spiritual warfare, collective awakening, and the growing collapse of “The Narrative.” With rapid-fire geopolitical analysis, economic modeling, energy-sector intel, and their trademark no-nonsense approach, the hosts show how every headline is part of a coordinated battle to control the future. A dense, sharp, and eye-opening deconstruction of the global chessboard.

Ghost hosts a special live breakdown of President Trump's highly anticipated speech at the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum, offering real-time insight into one of the most consequential geopolitical and economic events of the year. As Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman outline unprecedented levels of cooperation, including America's new major non-NATO ally designation for Saudi Arabia, a strategic defense agreement, and a massive $1 trillion investment commitment, Ghost highlights the scale, symbolism, and momentum behind the partnership. He digs into Trump's focus on energy independence, AI and data-center innovation, micro-reactor development, streamlined permitting, and the revival of American manufacturing through tariffs and deregulation. Ghost also explains why MBS received a reception “unlike anything we've ever seen,” how global capital follows political momentum, and why this summit could accelerate a broader realignment of world power. The episode closes with a wider look at economic strategy, regulatory reform, corporate influence, and the implications for small businesses and the American workforce.

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running as they break down a frantic 24 hours of media panic, political spin, and global power realignment. With MBS's historic White House visit still echoing through the news cycle, they highlight how corporate media is desperately trying to bury the trillion-dollar announcement by flooding the zone with Epstein noise. MSNBC flails, ABC scrambles, and journalists push synchronized talking points that collapse under scrutiny. To dig deeper into the geopolitical stakes, they bring on Ghost, who outlines why MBS's arrival marks a generational power shift, how the U.S.–Saudi partnership is being re-engineered, and what Trump's timing reveals about the emerging world order. CannCon unpacks Epstein hypocrisy and the bizarre behavior of both left-wing media and certain “right-wing allies,” while Ashe tracks the accelerating narrative warfare and strategic misdirection pouring out of Clown World. A sharp, fiery, fast-moving episode capturing a moment where everything seems to accelerate at once.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss reports of a “secret” peace plan that is being negotiated by President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterparts without input from Ukraine. Then, they talk about fallout from yesterday's Oval Office comments by President Trump and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the murder of Saudi dissident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Next, RCP White House reporter Phil Wegmann joins the guys to discuss what's next in the efforts to compel the Justice Department to release documents related to the Epstein case. And, they chat about Trump's relations with the press: he insults Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, calling her “piggy” on Air Force One, and during yesterday's Oval Office press opportunity, he tells ABC News White House reporter Mary Bruce that the FCC should revoke the network's license. Then finally, they discuss the state of the redistricting battle across the country, including Texas where Republicans have filed an appeal to the Supreme Court challenging a federal three-judge panel's rejection of the most recent remapping of the state's congressional districts.
