Indiana state House Republicans passed a new state congressional map Friday at the behest of President Donald Trump, advancing the legislation to the state Senate, where it is unclear if enough lawmakers will support its final passage. Lawmakers in the Republican-majority House voted 57-41 in favor of the map, which splits the city of Indianapolis into four districts to help the GOP potentially win all nine Indiana congressional seats.

Republicans kill bill to rename a DC post office after Chuck Brown—the ‘Godfather of Go-Go’

Eleanor Holmes Norton’s efforts to name a city post office after local musician Chuck Brown, known as the “Godfather of Go-Go,” seemed like a natural effort to honor D.C.’s rich culture.  However, on Tuesday, Republican members of the House Oversight Committee took Norton’s bill off the agenda, preventing it from moving forward.  […]
