For those wondering… U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: The Congress shall have Power… To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;…

The Indiana state senate did the right thing — put people over power, and refused to be bullied into an absurd reality where Trump doesn’t have to face any accountability in Congress. @marinakjenkins.bsky.social & I discuss on the newest episode of Drawing the Line — watch now 👉 youtu.be/2ZrcNtXrMQc

🚨Exciting update: All On The Line is now @redistrictingaction.org! This rebrand reflects the work we’ve already been doing: fighting for a representative democracy, educating people on the redistricting process, and empowering voters to hold map-drawers accountable. 1/

Provided without comment.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

We are ONE WEEK AWAY from “Safeguarding the Midterms with Marc Elias and @johnbisognano.com,” co-sponsored by Volunteer Blue and the Grassroots Democrats HQ. Sign up here to learn about Republican threats to the 2026 elections and what we can do about them: www.mobilize.us/volunteerblu...

📢 NEW: The Supreme Court has allowed Texas Republicans’ racist, gerrymandered maps to stand. This decision undermines fair representation, further divides communities, and rigs the political playing field for the future. The fight continues. Texans deserve fair maps and a real voice.

Just like he shrugged off January 6, Donald Trump is now turning a blind eye to the intimidation and threats Indiana lawmakers are facing for trying to do the right thing. It's concerning.

“They have no place to go but to cheat”: @johnbisognano.com, President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, explains the desperation behind Republicans’ redistricting efforts.

This weekend, I had the privilege of delivering the keynote address at the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers Foundation Gala. You can read my full remarks on my Substack.

I'm attending Volunteer Blue/Together We Elect's event, “Safeguarding the Midterms - with Marc Elias and John Bisognano” - sign up now to join me! # www.mobilize.us/volunteerblu...

This week’s ruling striking down Texas’s Trump-ordered gerrymander was a critical win for voters ahead of 2026. It’s also a reminder that no gerrymander is untouchable. Even when Republicans stack the deck against us, the will of voters can still WIN.

Our friends at @swingleft.bsky.social are launching Ground Truth—a new, innovative door-knocking program designed to fix how Democrats connect with voters. Ground Truth is about listening to voters and communities, not lecturing. Learn more and get involved at ourgroundtruth.org.

🚨BREAKING🚨 : Texas Congressional map STRUCK DOWN by a Federal judge as racial gerrymander!! Map returns to its prior iteration before Donald Trump picked up the phone and told Greg Abbott he needed him to gerrymander Texas to the most extreme degree.

Great to be with the incomparable @profmmurray.bsky.social at the @texastribune.org festival. Never underestimate the power of the American people. We need to keep organizing, making our voices heard and pushing back against Republicans efforts to gerrymander & circumvent the will of the people.

More from my Substack Live with president of @democraticredistricting.com, @johnbisognano.com, here:

Let’s be clear: Republicans launched this gerrymandering crisis — and they've refused to pump the brakes for even a second. They could end this chaos tomorrow. But instead of stopping, they’re doubling down with illegal, unconstitutional maps. And voters aren't having it!

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?...

…and we took it personally.

Incredible win for democracy coming out of Utah this morning (ET). The new map will finally reflect what the people want after the polls and asked for back in 2018. Really amazing work by everyone that never gave up and kept fighting so hard to make this happen!

Trump “needs to gerrymander to win”: Democratic election wins have upended the redistricting map. @democraticredistricting.com president @johnbisognano.com joins The Weeknight to break down what comes next in the battle for fair maps heading into 2026.

Trump: We are cutting off food for kids in the US, but must pay $40 billion to Argentina and I need to build my ballroom!!  Senate GOP: HOLD MY BEER, if Dems don't let us make huge cuts to Medicare we are going to make people work on the weekend!  This is like the Out of Touch Olympics...

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.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at every turn, showed us how to fight for what we believe in. She had the singular vision to lift us when we were down and broken—and to lead us when we were rising and strong. She's been a believer in the fight for fair maps since Day 1.

After great reflection, and upon trying the alternative, I feel confident in saying that I much prefer winning to losing. It has great benefits. 10/10 would do again. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GOP operatives have been melting down about this for weeks. Bold prediction: 2026 =/= 2024, and basing your gerrymandering and new maps on the GOP surge last year will prove to be a big mistake.

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.

IT’S ELECTION DAY! California: Vote YES on Prop 50 ✅ Pennsylvania: Vote YES to retain all 3 justices ✅ Virginia: Vote for Abigail Spanberger ✅ LFG!

“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

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.

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

We all need to take a step back for a min and try to absorb the insane fact that the White House has a "private whip" operation focused on gerrymandering the Indiana congressional map!  Not a whip team focused on votes to lower drug costs or fixing inflation???

“Republicans are openly stating that they need to take away the voting power of the American people through gerrymandering in order to win the 2026 midterms,” Bisognano said in a statement. “That alone is a sign of incredible weakness." www.cnn.com/2025/10/21/p...

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

Can you imagine a more un-American thought than a #NoKings rally being “a hate America rally”? These guys would have thrown the Boston Tea Party protesters in the slammer and thrown away the key. Paul Revere’s eyes just opened. They don’t understand what America is and the power the people have.

We will destroy our government and citizens’ lives unless you vote to let us completely destroy our government and citizens’ lives does not feel like a strong negotiating position. It’s certainly not the flex they think it is.

Today, Vice President of the U.S. is flying on Air Force 2 to Indiana to beg state Republicans to gerrymander their state because they know they can’t hold the US House on the existing maps. They need to cheat. Think about that. What an unprecedented admission of political weakness and desperation.

Republicans knows how deeply unpopular their policies have been. So they decided to gerrymander as many states as they possibly can, cheating the American people out of fair representation. Between the Big Ugly Bill & the nationwide redistricting battle, too many people are going to feel the damage.

In this episode of Drawing the Line, we cover all the latest on redistricting in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, and Utah, as well as the upcoming Supreme Court case on Louisiana's maps. There's *a lot* going on — so tune in now to get the updates! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTjJ...

They literally can not help themselves.

Honestly, inject this into my veins.

Just so we are all on the same page, he flew every general in US command in from around the world to tell them that they were fat and weak and most should quit…. That was an interesting choice.

I did not rob the bank. That said, $1 million dollars in cash is missing from the bank. Additionally, recently found $1 million dollars in cash in a bag in my home. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️
