(AP) — Pooja Tilvawala knows it’s a gamble to use more than $46,000 of her own savings to help young people get to the United Nations climate summit in Brazil. But she thinks it’s a necessary one.

Missouri on Friday became the third state where lawmakers have approved new congressional districts since President Donald Trump began pushing for mid-decade redistricting.
