Our efforts to level the playing field against MAGA gerrymandering doesn’t end just because the map is set for 2026. Between now and 2028, we have to do everything in our power to 1) cancel out MAGA’s illegitimate redraws, and 2) pass legislation that prevents future gerrymanders.

NEW: Conservatives are sounding the alarm on Trump’s extreme SAVE Act! In this Time magazine op-ed, former Republican lawmakers break down how the SAVE Act would do nothing but make it harder for *eligible* Americans to cast their ballots. https://bit.ly/4eVFlKo

BREAKING: Trump reaffirmed today that he won't sign a bipartisan housing bill until the SAVE Act, his voter suppression bill, becomes law. Trump is blocking relief for struggling families to force through a voter suppression agenda.

"States should continue strengthening their safeguards. But the evidence does not support the claim that noncitizen voting is occurring at a scale that justifies burdening millions of eligible Americans.” Two former Republican lawmakers sound the alarm on the SAVE Act: https://bit.ly/4eVFlKo

Courts have repeatedly rejected Trump's efforts to manipulate our elections, but that doesn't mean he's giving up on trying to make it harder for eligible Americans to vote. From executive orders to the SAVE Act, he's made clear he'll keep pushing to restrict the vote all the way to November.

Right now, Trump is blocking critical, bipartisan housing legislation in an attempt to pressure Congress to pass his anti-voter wish list. American families are struggling and all MAGA Republicans care about is restricting your right to vote.

President @barackobama.bsky.social & AG @ericholder.bsky.social started the NDRC so people—not politicians—decide who holds office. Republicans are trying to dismantle our progress, but we're fighting back. Join us ➡️ secure.actblue.com/donate/ndrc-ad-apr26-obama1

BREAKING: A Florida court dismissed a Republican lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2020 Census. The lawsuit targeted Census methods that help ensure *every* community is fairly and accurately counted. This is a crucial victory that protects the integrity of the Census.

Republicans’ 2026 mid-decade redistricting push may have ended, but they’re already laying the groundwork for 2028. Our best bet at stopping their power-grab is electing leaders committed to defending our voting rights. Check our 2026 endorsed candidates: https://bit.ly/4ePYBrh

250 years ago, our nation was born out of promise of democracy and freedom. Delivering on that promise has never come easily. Every generation has had to fight to make us a more perfect union. We will not be the first generation of Americans that gives up on our founding ideals.

Every single expansion of American freedom has been fought for by people who refused to wait for progress. This Independence Day, as our democracy faces unprecedented threats, we celebrate 250 years of Americans who rejected the idea that some voices matter more than others.

Donald Trump isn't campaigning for the midterms. He's trying to rewrite the rules before a single ballot is cast. https://wapo.st/4gNHg4L

Our first wave of 2026 Democracy Defender endorsements is here. 🗳️ The midterms will make or break the ongoing battle against Republicans’ mid-decade gerrymanders. We're proud to support leaders across the country who are committed to protecting our democracy. https://bit.ly/4ePYBrh

When Trump demanded five new GOP seats, Texas Republicans rushed to comply. This November, voters can hold them accountable. We're proud to endorse @ginafortexas.bsky.social for Governor and a wave of Democracy Defenders for the Texas House who'll put Texans above Washington power grabs. 1/

Trump says he “doesn't care about the midterms.” But every move he makes, from pushing the SAVE Act to demanding MAGA redraws, is about clinging to power in November. Trump is desperate. He knows voters are fed up and is already bracing for a major MAGA defeat this November.

Pennsylvania has shown the country what happens when Democracy Defenders are in charge. Now, voters have the chance to build on that progress by re-electing Gov. @joshshapiropa.bsky.social and electing pro-democracy majorities in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. 1/ bit.ly/4eKti0U

Ohioans deserve leaders who answer to voters, not special interests. That's why the NDRC is endorsing Dr. Amy Acton for Governor, Allison Russo for Secretary of State, and Annette Blackwell for Auditor. Three candidates, one goal: a government that works for the people. https://bit.ly/4v0OvKi

Four years ago, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade and stripped millions of Americans of their bodily autonomy. Since then, gerrymandered state legislatures have been able to pass dangerous abortion bans without any accountability. If we want to protect reproductive freedom, we need fair maps.

We're proud to support Chief Justice Megan Cavanagh and Justice Noah Hood in Michigan, and Justice Jennifer Brunner in Ohio—leaders who understand that state supreme courts should protect people's rights, not overturn them.

In state after state, Republicans pushed aggressive new maps designed to maximize their partisan advantage. This November, we have to show them that the PEOPLE still have the power.

Grassroots organizing is one of the strongest tools we have against gerrymandering. When communities organize, politicians can’t quietly redraw the rules without scrutiny.

🎙️NEW PODCAST EPISODE: After a year of redistricting chaos, the 2026 map is set. @marinakjenkins.bsky.social and @johnbisognano.com unpack the court fights, special sessions, and gerrymandering battles that shaped the midterms. https://youtu.be/UfZgZWEm7aI

Trump is terrified of what happens if Democrats take back the House or Senate in November. He knows real oversight is coming, and that’s why he’s still pushing the SAVE Act. He’s desperate to block accountability. https://www.axios.com/2026/06/18/trump-save-act-thune-senate

"As more states come under similar pressure to gerrymander their maps on Donald Trump’s behalf, they should follow South Carolina and Georgia in rejecting these immoral tactics" https://democraticredistricting.com/ndrc-public-outcry-causes-georgia-republicans-to-push-off-gerrymandering-plan/

NEW: Georgia Republicans halted redistricting in their latest special session. After last night's primaries and months of public backlash, Georgia Republicans got the message that another gerrymander would be politically toxic. To be clear: this was about self-preservation, not principle.

When SCOTUS rulings align so consistently with the GOP’s electoral interests, it becomes harder to see their decisions as purely legal ones.

Georgia families are struggling to afford basic needs like groceries and healthcare. Meanwhile, Republicans are kicking off a special session today focused on rigging maps to keep themselves in power. Their priorities are clear. Power for themselves, zero solutions for Georgia families.

Republicans have made clear their disdain for voters by pursuing a gerrymandering strategy designed to insulate the president and his puppet congress. But the American people still have power. We still have opportunities to stop further gerrymanders. And we have a plan to do so.

🧑‍⚖️Quick legal lesson: The Purcell doctrine is a legal principle that holds that federal courts shouldn't inject themselves into elections by changing rules, voting requirements, or district maps too close to an upcoming election. But it is consistently misapplied. 🧵1/6

Some *positive* news: New York's state legislature introduced a referendum that would let them redraw the congressional map in response to Republican gerrymandering, similar to what we saw in California and Virginia. Step one is done. We're watching it closely.

REDISTRICTING UPDATE: →SCOTUS allowed Alabama to use an intentionally racially discriminatory congressional map →Florida court allowed use of new Republican gerrymander →NY introduced a referendum to respond to Republicans’ mid-decade gerrymanders We must reform the court & ban gerrymandering.

June 11, 1963. My late sister in law - Vivian Malone - with the help of the Department of Justice and President Kennedy integrated the University of Alabama. The Governor of the state, George Wallace, stood in the school house door to prevent her from enrolling.

The path to restoring voting rights won’t be easy, but the roadmap is clear: 1) Counter MAGA gerrymandering 2) Elect Democratic majorities 3) Pass a nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering

Quick gut check: has your congressional district changed this cycle? Drop your state in the replies!

Tomorrow, Georgia Republicans will start a special session to redraw maps for 2028. Their last power grab is still under challenge, but that’s not stopping them from doubling down. Because when Republicans are losing, they rewrite the rules to keep themselves in power.

The state leaders we elect this year will determine how maps are drawn for 2028 and beyond. We’re mapping out a 14-state battleground strategy to make sure we elect candidates who will safeguard democracy. https://democraticredistricting.com/ndrc-announces-14-priority-states-for-2026-elections/

🚨NEW: This year, we’re investing in 14 key states and supporting candidates for offices that are crucial to achieving a competitive national congressional map. We plan to take back the House. Find out how: https://democraticredistricting.com/ndrc-announces-14-priority-states-for-2026-elections/

The GOP wants voters to believe the redistricting fight is over. They’re wrong. It’s just entering a new phase — and we will be fighting against GOP gerrymanders every day between now and 2028. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/06/how-democrats-can-still-win-the-redistricting-war-by-2028/

One gerrymander leads to another. The only way to break the cycle is to pass a national gerrymandering ban. But until Congress steps up, we’re fighting back against every Republican scheme to lock in minority rule.

Republicans aren’t backing down from their assault on fair maps. They’re counting on voters to accept a democracy where they lock in power and silence voters. We won’t give that to them.

Republicans are counting on us to accept their attacks as the new normal. We will not. Just because we will overcome these obstacles, doesn’t mean they should’ve been put there in the first place.

One gerrymander leads to another. The only way to break the cycle is to pass a national ban on gerrymandering. But until Congress steps up, we’re fighting back against every Republican scheme to lock in minority rule.

🎙️NEW PODCAST: This week, @marinakjenkins.bsky.social & @johnbisognano.com discuss SCOTUS's latest decision to allow Alabama to move forward with a map that discriminates against Black voters. We cover the need to reform SCOTUS & pass a national ban on gerrymandering. ➡️ https://youtu.be/KrvkpW9lpf4

The right to fair representation should not depend on where you live or what community you belong to. Protecting the voices of minority voters remains essential to a strong democracy.

As Republicans push mid-decade gerrymanders across the country, New York is taking action to give voters a say. Voters shouldn’t be forced to sit back while politicians rig the rules. https://bit.ly/49SDuD0

It’s been a tough year for democracy. The good news is we mobilized and made progress in key states where Trump was trying to silence voters. But the bad news is, with SCOTUS gutting the VRA, we are entering a new stage of this crisis — which is why we need to stay in this fight for fair maps.

While Republicans gerrymander maps across the country, the New York State Legislature is moving to put redistricting reform directly on the ballot. This is a responsible and necessary step that would let voters respond to the reckless wave of GOP gerrymanders. https://bit.ly/4aDkbxK

“The effort to destroy Black political power in the South is among the greatest betrayals of Black Americans, and those who have voted alongside them, by the federal government in living memory.” https://nyti.ms/43X7t9l

Calling the Supreme Court political is valid – they’ve gone farther than we ever thought. The Court needs to be accountable to the people. Not the politicians.

Georgia's redistricting special session starts June 17, and the maps they draw will control who holds power for the next decade. We have to pay attention and show up — or we risk letting a handful of politicians decide whose voices count and whose don't.
