Famine in Northern Gaza, Epstein Docs, CA/TX Maps

This edition of NPR's "Up First" covers three main news stories: the declaration of famine in northern Gaza and the international response, including accusations against Israel; the House Oversight Committee's receipt of Jeffrey Epstein's Justice Department files and the debate over their public release; and the political battle over redistricting, with Texas Republicans pushing a plan and California Democrats responding with their own proposal that requires voter approval. The podcast also touches on the Justice Department's "weaponization group" and its controversial new hire. Additionally, the podcast promotes other NPR content, including the "Life Kit" podcast, the "1A" podcast, "Morning Edition", "The Indicator from Planet Money", "New Line", and the "NPR Politics Podcast".
