The plan reshapes Senate and House districts across multiple counties, with potential runs for the Senate by Alstat and Buzbee and a looming timetable for the reapportionment commission.

Congress Grants Itself Pay Raises and Benefits
Congress passed an emergency spending bill enabling automatic pay raises and expanded tax breaks for lawmakers, while delaying the government’s funding deadline. The measure, approved 64 to 28 in the Senate and by voice in the House, raises pay for judges and aligns congressional pay with white collar federal workers, repeals a living-expenses deduction cap, and allows outside income with limits.
