One month after the Texas floods, some survivors are sounding the alarm, pleading for help they say still hasn’t arrived. Others are emerging from the nightmare with the support of a community rallying to clean up the devastation on their own. cnn.it/3ISa11w

Texas used the flooding special session to try and redistrict Texas to disenfranchise minority voters.
