Congress remains on recess but redistricting and state fights keep pressure on federal politics

Although the House and Senate were largely in recess on August 10, state-level fights — including a contentious redistricting battle in Texas — kept Capitol Hill staff and outside groups busy. The Texas dispute has prompted warnings of prolonged litigation and possible special sessions, and national parties are monitoring the political and legal fallout. Meanwhile, leadership aides said they are preparing potential legislative windows after Labor Day to tackle high-priority items if the calendar allows. Advocacy groups on both sides continued fundraising and mobilization activities during the recess. All parties expect a heavy fall agenda once Congress returns. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
