In a stunning rebuke of President Trump, Republicans in Indiana rejected a bill to redraw the state's congressional map.

The Indianapolis Star reports the 19-31 vote against the measure caps off months of pressure from Trump, who's asked several red states to help maintain a Republican majority after next year's midterms through redistricting.

The vote total in Indiana means the effort is now dead.

Trump on Wednesday said he would support primary challengers to Republicans who voted against the bill and personally attacked Indiana's Senate leader by name.

Republicans have a supermajority in the Indiana House and Senate.

The failure of this bill, which could have netted Republicans two more seats in the U.S.

Garcia now heads back to his home in Maryland.

And his lawyer said it was, quote, an extraordinary victory for our client and for due process.

Meanwhile, yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the administration's immigration enforcement policies at a House committee hearing, while some Democratic lawmakers called on her to resign.

She said she, quote, would not back down.

And finally, some of the oldest cartoon characters could be jumping into a whole new world.
