CNN Inside Politics: Texas Can't Hold 'Em
CNN Politics
Aug 4, 2025

First: Texas Democrats have fled the state in a last-ditch effort to block a Republican gerrymander. But is this a strategy or a stunt?

Plus: The White House is trying to justify President Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he did not like Friday's jobs report. But contrary to what they say, numbers don't lie. 

And: We have brand new CNN reporting on far-right activist Laura Loomer's role playing the administration's "loyalty enforcer" and who she wants to get fired next.
