Texas' Republican-led legislature is expected to approve new congressional maps that add five new House seats that the GOP could win. The state House planned to vote Wednesday on a plan drafted at President Donald Trump's urging. Trump wants to stave off Republicans losing control of the U.S. House in next year's midterms. Texas Democratic state lawmakers delayed the vote by leaving the state, but enough returned this week for the body to reconvene. The GOP House speaker assigned round-the-clock police monitors to Democrats to keep them from leaving again. One state representative spent Monday night and Tuesday in the Texas House rather than agree to a monitor and was joined by other Democrats in protest.

From Florida to New England, people trying to enjoy some of the last hurrahs of summer along the East Coast have been met with rip current warnings, closed beaches and in some cases already treacherous waves as Hurricane Erin inches closer.

Israel’s military is preparing to widen operations in some of Gaza’s most densely populated areas, possibly in the coming days. On Wednesday, Defense Minister Israel Katz approved plans for a new phase of fighting, including calling up 60,000 reservists and extending the service of 20,000 currently serving. A military official told The Associated Press that troops will move into parts of Gaza City where Israel believes Hamas remains active. Gaza City is Hamas’ main political and military stronghold, and also where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering. The plans have drawn international condemnation as mediators scramble to secure a cease-fire.
