  U.S. Tariff Revenue Hits Historic Highs Under Trump’s “America First” Trade Strategy Unprecedented Fiscal Windfall The United States has smashed all past records for customs‑duty collections in 2025. Tariff revenue reached $87 billion in the first half of the year—surpassing the entire total for all of 2024 ($79 billion)   . In July alone, the Treasury hauled in nearly $28 billion, setting a single‑month record and topping June’s $27 billion haul.

Texas Republicans Propose New Map to Gain Up to 5 House Seats, Threatening Several Democratic Incumbents Austin — July 30, 2025 — In a rare and controversial mid-decade move, Texas Republican lawmakers unveiled a proposed congressional map Wednesday that could expand their dominance in the U.S. House. If adopted, the new plan would boost GOP-held seats in Texas from 25 to 30 out of 38, flipping as many as five seats currently held by Democrats. What the Plan Does Targets Democratic strongholds in Houston, Austin, Dallas, and South Texas. Redraws districts such as Rep. Al Green’s (TX‑9) and the vacant TX‑18 to consolidate Democratic voters into fewer districts while dispersing Republican voters into neighboring Democratic-held seats. Creates potential contests between Democratic incumbents—most notably Greg Casar and Lloyd Doggett in the Austin area—by consolidating their districts.
