Believe it or not, Dave will be back in less than three weeks, which means August is flying by 😅, and even though Dave took the month off, the news cycle certainly didn’t.
Which is where we here at The Rubin Report come in. It’s Hump Day, and we want you make sure you know what’s going on with Trump taking over the local police force in the nation’s capital, the latest on redistricting in Texas, and the White House getting tough on homelessness.
Here we go:
Texas goes redder: The Texas Senate just passed a new redistricting plan flipping 5 Democrat House seats to Republican. Lone Star politics just got a whole lot redder — and the left is already howling. Hopefully, this is the beginning end for Lady Eyelashes.
🚨 BREAKING: Texas Senate passes redistricting that shifts 5 Democratic seats to Republicans.
Don't let the left gaslight you into thinking that this is undemocratic. Dems have been doing this for decades.

D.C. police leadership in total shambles: When asked if she knew the chain of command after Trump took control of D.C.’s police force, Chief Pamela Smith’s response? “What does that mean?” Comforting. Real confidence builder there.
Reporter: "Do you know what the chain of command is now?"
D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith: “What does that mean?"

White House finally gets tough on homelessness: The Trump White House will require homeless individuals to enter shelters or get treatment. It’s about time — cleaning up the streets, getting people the help they need, and restoring public safety shouldn’t be controversial — no matter what crazy progressives may say.
🚨 HOLY SH*T! THE WHITE HOUSE WILL FORCE HOMELESS INTO SHELTERS OR “TREATMENT”
Refuse? You face fines or jail time.
The government deciding where you live, what “treatment” you get and locking you up if you say no.
