“I warned the Speaker for months that a redistricting war was (1) bad for the country, (2) unpopular with Members on both sides, and (3) likely to end as a wash" Even Republicans are warning MAGA world that their redistricting war is not a smart move. https://bit.ly/4o0sKGV

Californians responded to Trump’s gerrymandering efforts in a crushing, double-digit win that stands in stark contrast to Texas’ partisan map. The lesson for Republicans is clear: ignore voters at your own risk. They see what’s happening, and they’re ready to fight back.

Donald Trump’s plan isn’t about ideas or solutions. It’s about cheating. That’s not strength — it’s desperation. Republicans are rigging maps because they can’t win fair fights. But Americans are fighting back. And it’s working.

For our 20th episode of Drawing the Line, we had the legendary @marcelias.bsky.social join us to discuss the current redistricting landscape, the major wins for Democrats we saw last week, and how we're fighting back against Trump's power grab. Watch now: youtu.be/36kumP4hYsU?...

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: @marinakjenkins.bsky.social & @johnbisognano.com are joined by @marcelias.bsky.social, founder of @democracydocket.com, to unpack Democrats' big wins on Election Night and the ongoing fight for our democracy. Tune in now ➡️ https://bit.ly/3JyZhpv

“This is a victory for democracy in Utah. For the first time since Proposition 4 was enacted at the ballot box seven years ago, Utahns will now finally be able to vote on a fair congressional map that adheres to that law” Check out @ericholder.bsky.social's full statement: https://bit.ly/489cMp3

Victory for democracy! Court rules for fairly drawn district in Utah.

BREAKING: A Utah court has ruled in favor of a new, fair congressional map that adheres to the state’s 2018 ballot initiative that bans partisan gerrymandering. This ruling is a win for voters at a time when the GOP is trying to shamelessly rig themselves a House Majority in next year’s elections.

The concerted effort underway to lock in Republicans’ hold on Congress by manipulating district lines is a result of their fear and desire to avoid accountability by the voters. And it’s happening without the consent of the American people.

Here’s another win from this week you might have missed: In a clear testament to the power of public pressure, Kansas Republicans have called off a special session on redistricting that would have led to another Trump-ordered gerrymander. https://bit.ly/4nFmpQT

Speaker Pelosi is a truly historic figure. Her record of accomplishment as Speaker is unparalleled. And she’s as compassionate as she is tough. Nancy Pelosi is the GOAT - she will be missed by the nation. And by me.

ICYMI: Despite strong public opposition, Indiana GOP leaders are bowing to Trump and will reconvene in December to consider mid-decade gerrymandering. After this week’s elections, it should be clear to Indiana Republicans that betting against voters is a losing strategy.

Across the country, Americans are rejecting Trump’s gerrymanders. In both blue and red states (even ones Trump won by double digits), voters are demanding fair maps that protect their power. Here are some recent wins in our fight for fairness! 🧵💪 1/

The concerted effort underway to lock in Republicans’ hold on Congress by manipulating district lines is a result of their fear and desire to avoid accountability by the voters. And it’s happening without the consent of the American people.

Conservative pundit Scott Jennings just said the quiet part out loud: Republicans aren’t sweating last night’s results because they’re betting on gerrymandered maps to hand them the House in 2026. They don’t want to win over voters. They want to rig the maps.

Republicans are gonna freak out when they finally realize that the most reliable way to win elections is to …. win over voters.

Californians overwhelmingly voted YES on Prop 50, protecting voters’ power and rejecting Trump’s gerrymandering push. This is a sharp contrast to how Gov. Abbott flat-out ignored Texans’ opposition to Trump’s meddling in the state’s maps.

Governor Moore’s proposal for a redraw process in Maryland is a responsible and responsive action to Trump’s demand for extreme and democracy threatening mid-decade gerrymanders in Texas and beyond. Our democracy is under attack— we have no choice but to defend it.

When people stand up, speak out, and get involved - we move our country forward.

NEW: California voters have decisively approved Prop 50, a measure designed to fight Donald Trump’s gerrymandering push ahead of the 2026 midterms. These results send a clear message to Republicans that voters won’t roll over as Republicans sell out democracy for Trump. 👏

Big wins for democracy tonight 🚨 From New Jersey to Virginia to Pennsylvania, voters proved that when we show up, we have the power to protect our rights and push our country forward.

BREAKING: Democrats are retaining their majority to the House of Delegates, ensuring a crucial safeguard as state legislatures face mounting pressure from the White House to impose GOP gerrymanders. This victory reminds us that people hold the power in our democracy. Not politicians.

BREAKING: Pennsylvanians have voted to retain Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht to the Keystone State’s highest court! This victory ensures the court remains independent and accountable to the people — not the billionaires and special interests trying to buy our democracy.

BREAKING: Virginians have chosen progress over extremism, electing Abigail Spanberger to be their next governor! 🗳️👏 This win strengthens our fight for fairness and a government FOR the people. Congratulations to the Governor-elect and every voter who made this victory possible.

“If Prop 50 is successful, it should fortify in every Democratic elected official and leader that the voters are on the side of action in order to prevent a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives and the 2026 midterms” says @johnbisognano.com

American families are losing food stamps and healthcare while the GOP gives billionaires another tax break. And since they know they can’t sell this agenda, they’re selling out voters by rigging maps and taking away their power to hold leaders accountable.

The GOP is so focused on keeping billionaires happy and rebuilding the White House to notice (or care) that they've wrecked the middle class. This is what a MAGA government trifecta gets us.

This is an act of voter intimidation from the Trump administration. Don’t let the GOP scare you away from the polls. Know your rights when voting, and show up on Election Day. https://nyti.ms/4ntPazS

Skyrocketing grocery prices, gutting healthcare, and now cuts to food stamps. The GOP has failed working families, so now they’re trying to silence them with gerrymandered maps.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of attacks on our democracy. But doing nothing is not an option. If you live in Virginia or Pennsylvania, your vote can push back against Republican extremism. Make your plan to vote before Tuesday: http://iwillvote.com

Passing Prop 50 in California is absolutely essential to fighting back against Trump and the GOP’s gerrymandering agenda.

Instead of spending their time working on behalf of the American people, Republicans are actively spending their time trying to undermine them, decimating voting rights and democracy to hold onto power.

If SCOTUS bends the knee to partisanship, state courts are our firewall. Let's vote to keep them fair and just. Starting with Pennsylvania. Make a plan to vote in next week’s election: https://bit.ly/3ztMyzr

Donald Trump is successfully strong-arming GOP lawmakers into rigging electoral maps. This is uncharted territory for our nation, and the urgency of this moment demands we act decisively. Otherwise we run the risk of backsliding into a country of one-man rule.

BREAKING: Indiana Governor Mike Braun has called for a special session for mid-decade gerrymandering. Let's be clear: Governor Braun clearly called this special session solely because he got orders from Washington—Hoosiers have made it known they do not want a mid-decade gerrymander.

Nobody wants a redistricting race. But we’re not going to roll over and watch lawless Republicans rig our democracy. As NDRC President @johnbisognano.com told @nytimes.com, the more Trump escalates his gerrymandering crisis the more states are going to look for "responsive options." nyti.ms/3JdhUPA

Nothing says “small government” or “states’ rights” like the president’s allies intimidating state lawmakers into rigging an election. Trump has made the GOP burn down everything it once claimed to stand for.

North Carolina Republicans are abusing their power to silence voters. The map they passed today is an even more extreme gerrymander than before, and it denies Black voters in the state equal representation. We stand with North Carolinians fighting this outrageous power grab.

If Republicans were proud of/confident about their record - and didn’t fear the voters - they wouldn’t have to do these awful gerrymanders that attack our democracy. They know they have nothing to run on. They’re scared.

BREAKING: The NC House just passed a congressional gerrymander that dismantles a district built on Black political power. Republicans fear the people they claim to represent, so they’re willing to lock in an illegitimate majority at the cost of fair representation for voters of color.

A conservative pollster found 84% of North Carolinians — across party lines — oppose partisan gerrymandering. Yet GOP lawmakers are doubling down, redrawing maps to strip the Black Belt of real representation and revive Jim Crow–era tactics to lock in power.

The gerrymandered map passed by the North Carolina Senate today is a shameful abuse of power that targets communities of color with precision. Republicans are selling out their constituents to Trump with another gerrymander. Voters won’t forget—or forgive—this attack on their voice. buff.ly/b6SZfOd

Over the weekend, Trump embraced the image of himself as a king and released obscene AI generated videos mocking peaceful protesters. In two weeks, voters in PA, NJ, VA, & CA have a chance to remind the White House that we don’t bow to kings. Make a plan to vote: iwillvote.com
