Day in Photos: Texas Capitol Deserted, Waterspout in Cuba, and JD Vance Goes Fishing
Many seats remain empty during the House meeting at the State Capitol in Austin, Texas, on Aug. 8, 2025. Earlier this week, Texas Democratic lawmakers fled the state in an attempt to protest and deny quorum for votes on the proposed Republican redistricting plan, which would potentially secure five additional GOP seats in the U.S. House. Gov. Greg Abbott has asked the FBI to locate and retrieve lawmakers who have not returned. Brandon Bell/Getty Images
