Texas Governor Greg Abbott moves to remove Democratic lawmakers who fled to block a GOP-led redistricting plan, citing legal precedent and accusing them of abandoning their duties. The State Department introduces a visa bond program targeting high-overstay countries, and Trump names J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio as potential MAGA successors. The House Oversight Committee expands its Epstein probe but omits former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. suspends $500M in mRNA vaccine funding, citing ineffectiveness. Texas Rep.
