How are Missouri Republicans redrawing congressional maps to help Trump?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. Republicans in Missouri have taken a major step toward redrawing their congressional map to help President Trump and to retain GOP control of the US House of Representatives. St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum has the story.
The Missouri House gave initial approval to back a new map that converts Democratic Representative Emmanuel Cleaver's Kansas City based district into a GOP leaning seat. It comes as Trump is asking GOP led states like Missouri to redraw congressional lines ahead of next year's elections. Republican State Representative Justin Spark says he's glad to help Trump keep the Democrats from retaking the House.
My constituents have said it loud and clear that they fear for their children's future because of insane policies of the left, and that is the real reason we're here.
Democrats say the mid decade redistricting proposal is illegal and shows how subservient their GOP colleagues are to Trump. For MPR News, I'm Jason Rosenbaum in Jefferson City.
The US House Oversight Committee has released documents on Jeffrey Epstein, including a copy of a two thousand three book of fiftieth birthday tributes to the late sex offender. The book includes crude jokes and a drawing allegedly signed by Donald Trump.
What new documents did the House Oversight Committee release about Jeffrey Epstein?
The President says the signature on that drawing is not his. The drawing was part of a birthday book compiled by Glenn Maxwell, the Epstein accomplice who's serving a twenty year prison sentence for sex trafficking. The oversight panel received the materials from attorneys for the Epstein Estate. A US Supreme Court ruling has cleared the way for the resumption of federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and the use of racial profiling to determine who gets detained. More from MPR's Adrian Florido.
In July, a federal judge in Los Angeles said immigration agents could not target people based solely on factors like their race, accents, or occupations. Agents had to scale back aggressive roundups in which they'd chased day laborers through hardware store parking lots and rounded up street vendors and car wash workers. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to lift that order.
How is the Supreme Court ruling affecting immigration raids and racial profiling in Los Angeles?
The six conservative justices have done so. Their order was brief and unsigned. Anga Udinum is with the LA Worker Centre Network.

Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to begin ICE operations in Illinois and other states. A federal appeals court has upheld the more than eighty three million dollar judgment in a defamation case against President Trump.
Why is President Trump claiming the U.S. needs more religion and new prayer guidance?
The award was granted to writer Eugene Carroll, who sued Trump for denying her claims that he sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store during the nineteen nineties. This is NPR. President Trump is suggesting America needs more religion. Tying national strength to religious faith. Trump says there's a strong anti Christian bias in the United States that his administration will end. Speaking at the Bible Museum in Washington Monday, the president also said there is Will be new guidance on prayer in public schools.
For most of our country's history, the Bible is found in every classroom in the nation, yet in many schools today students are instead indoctrinated with anti religious propaganda and Some are even punished for their religious beliefs.
What is the AI‑generated “AI Bible” and why are theologians concerned?
A nineteen sixty two Supreme Court ruling outlawed mandatory prayer in public schools. Videos made by artificial intelligence are being used to animate the Bible. As NPR's Jeff Brumfield reports, one company hopes to grab followers while theologians theologians are concerned.
It's called the AI Bible and it tells Bible stories through machine generated videos like this one about the prophet Elijah.
