Good morning. It’s Wednesday, August 13.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Tuesday that his state would redraw its House maps after President Trump failed to respond to a letter the governor sent him urging Trump to have red states call off redistricting efforts.

“DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, ‘MISSED’ THE DEADLINE!!! CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE ‘BEAUTIFUL MAPS,’ THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!),” Newsom wrote in a statement on the social platform X put out through his press office, meant to mock how Trump writes his posts on Truth Social.

“BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR ‘MAGA.’ THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN,” he added.

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that President Donald Trump can withhold nearly $2 billion in previously approved foreign aid payments, delivering a significant legal win to his administration’s effort to scale back the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia voted 2-1 to overturn a lower court’s order requiring the administration to pay out the funds, which were frozen earlier this year. Judge Karen L. Henderson, appointed by former President George H.W. Bush, wrote for the majority that the plaintiffs, a coalition of contractors and nonprofit organizations, lacked legal standing to challenge the freeze.

The ruling follows what Trump and his supporters saw as an early blow by the Supreme Court in March, after a majority of the justices temporarily allowed the payments to proceed over the dissent of four Republican-appointed justices who warned that taxpayers might never recover the money if the Trump administration went on to win its case.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday asked a Tarrant County judge to jail former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, in another escalation in Republicans’ broader effort to put an end to Texas Democrats’ walkout over a new congressional map.

Paxton sued O’Rourke and his political group, Powered by People, last week, arguing that the group was deceptively fundraising for and illegally supporting Texas Democrats’ walkout. Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey quickly granted Paxton’s request to temporarily block O’Rourke and Powered by People from fundraising for Democrats or spending money to cover their expenses.

On Tuesday, Paxton claimed that O’Rourke had violated that temporary injunction at a Fort Worth rally Saturday, when he told the crowd, “There are no refs in this game, fuck the rules.”

The US government is in the process of designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview on Tuesday.

In response to a question about designating Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as terrorist organizations, Rubio said that “all of those things” that were “just discussed” were “in the process.”

“We are constantly reviewing for groups to designate for what they are: supporters of terrorists, maybe terrorists themselves, whatever it may be. We haven’t done this in a long time, so it’s – we’ve got a lot of catch-up to do. And you’ve mentioned a couple names, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, that are of grave concern,” Rubio said on Sid and Friends in the Morning according to a US State Department transcript.

Three MS-13 migrants who allegedly terrorized Nassau County were busted in a joint operation between ICE, local police and the FBI — and charged last week with a spate of violent crimes including 14 counts of attempted murder and 49 counts of assault, The Post has learned.

The arrests of the baby-faced gangbangers — two of whom sources say crossed into the US illegally during the Biden administration — was confirmed by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who vowed to keep supporting the feds in their immigration crackdown.

“As a result of a joint operation between the Nassau County Police Department and ICE, three alleged dangerous gang members charged with murder and other serious crimes were apprehended and are now incarcerated pending trial or deportation, making us an even safer county and region,” Blakeman told The Post in a statement.

Jerry Jones revealed that he battled cancer in a stunning development.

The Dallas Cowboys’ longtime owner, 82, announced that he battled cancer for over 10 years.

Jones and the Cowboys are tasked with their second preseason game this upcoming weekend.

Female cops in England went undercover as joggers, wearing tight-fitting clothes in a bid to elicit catcalls — and then arrested some of the men who hit on them, according to a report.

The Surrey Police Department created a trial task force, which lasted about a month, and led to 18 arrests for offenses like sexual assault, harassment, and theft, the Telegraph reported.

The female officers were sent during rush hour to “hot spots” where open sexual harassment of women is commonplace and pretended to be joggers, the report stated.
