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. ⬇️

Missouri Gov Kehoe is going to sign the new gerrymandered Congressional map on Sunday. The map cuts Kansas City into three slices, like a 🍕 , and notably puts one precinct into two different congressional districts… governor.mo.gov/press-releas...

Imagine caring so little about the voters in your state that you trade making the most rigged map in the country EVEN MORE RIGGED, all just for Trump’s endorsement.  "I'll do anything for you as long as you tweet about me"... what a sad existence. www.cbs17.com/news/capitol...

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is horrifying. It's deeply sad that this murder aims to instill fear in those wanting to shape the country's future, regardless of ideology. I wish to live in a place that supports ideas, speech, and non-violent disagreement.

🎙️ NEW: Trump and Republicans are trying to rig the system through gerrymandered maps. In the latest episode of NDRC’s Drawing the Line, @johnbisognano.com & @marinakjenkins.bsky.social break down Trump’s gerrymandering ploys and how Democrats are fighting back. youtu.be/_mJ_Y9IgqBM

Missouri Republicans just proposed a new congressional map — and it’s an extreme gerrymander. MO Republicans are choosing to cater to Washington instead of standing up for their constituents. They can and should back down from pursuing this power grab before it’s too late. bit.ly/45L0xhs

When gerrymandering has transcended to the funny pages you know it’s bad…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Yankees suck.

For a man that claims to be sooo big, strong and proud of his extreme gerrymander… signing this bill in a basement?? Surrounded by no one?? on a Friday evening should tell you all you need to know about how unpopular this is. Hide. Duck. Lie.

What a completely absurd and weird lie. It’s obvious he is trying to shirk responsibility for completely abandoning of his 5 members in California… and likely more. Donald Trump and Mike Johnson own this.

I've said it before and will keep saying it, NO ONE THAT ISN'T A GOP MEMBER OF CONGRESS OR DONALD TRUMP LIKES THIS GERRYMANDERING WAR. No voters are asking for this. No businesses are asking for this. No one likes this. apple.news/Ax6Agov_2T9y...

Imagine if Donald Trump and JD Vance spent half the energy they are spending begging states to gerrymander, on passing legislation that would lower the price of drugs or groceries? Their priority is to cheat, not to solve.

Let’s. Fucking. Go.

At 2:00 a.m., Texas Republicans passed their racially gerrymandered congressional map. At 8:00 a.m., we at the National Redistricting Foundation, with ELG sued Texas. As everything moves at light speed, let this serve as a reminder that racial gerrymandering is illegal.

For years I’ve been told that the 2nd Amendment + the NRA are critical to ensuring that a tyrannical government can’t run the country. … and yet we have armed troops marching the streets in our cities, and those folks now seem quite silent. Think they just forgot?

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.

Nobody likes gerrymandering. Republicans know exactly what they need to do to end this madness—demand that Trump call off his gerrymandering scheme in Texas and elsewhere before it’s too late.

Republicans in Texas, at the behest of Abbott and Trump, are tearing down the checks and balances our democracy depends on — handing power to a small group of Republican politicians to decide for millions of Texans, against the will of the voters.

To California Republicans: There's a way out of this. Call Donald Trump and tell him to stop his Texas gerrymander before it's too late. It doesn’t need to be this way.

Politicians should serve the people. Not Donald Trump. But Texas Republicans are selling out their constituents. @johnbisognano.com breaks down the importance of getting involved in this high-stakes redistricting fight ahead of 2026: bit.ly/4mQq1zH

Donald Trump created a crisis by pushing his gerrymandering scheme in Texas. He should end this power grab. But if he won’t, California is ready with a measured, fair response. ⬇️ democraticredistricting.com/ndrc-califor...

Want to understand how deeply scared Republicans are of the midterms? Look at how they are spending their time and money: - coming up with new policy ideas? ❌ - running ads about their accomplishments? ❌ - attacking fellow Republicans to pressure them to gerrymander? ✅

For anyone that needs the reminder after two weeks of endless scenarios (which state will go? When?? Will they/won’t they?? )… As of this moment, NO new map has passed in Texas. There remains no reason for Texas to do this and… IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

Jenkins: Trump strips medical care from millions of Americans, realizes he can’t actually hold onto power because the American people are furious. So instead of trying to convince the public to let his party keep control of the House—they come up with this scheme

Breaking on MSNBC: President Obama and former attorney general Eric Holder held a virtual call with Texas Democrats today, thanking them for blocking state Republicans' gerrymandering efforts.

OK, a few things on this absurdity: 1. The 2020 Census was conducted by the Trump administration. 2. The only systematic results of undercounts that the Census has acknowledged were undercounting communities of color in almost all states.

“He's trying to do is entirely reshape the American electorate. He wants to make people that voted for him and look like him more representative with more power and a bigger vote chair than they currently have.” – @johnbisognano.com on @npr.org n.pr/4lgJlos

My conversation with @steveinskeep.bsky.social is live on @npr.org – we discuss Trump's proposed new Census, and why it’s unconstitutional. www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...

This is yet another affirmation by a federal court that under the STILL NEEDED Voting Rights Act, Alabama must have two Black opportunity districts. Alabama Republicans tried AGAIN to deny Black voters the power they are due and once again they were stopped. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

So… we can’t afford all the U.S. Park Rangers that DOGE fired, but… BUT we CAN afford to use the Army Corps to adjust water levels to ensure that the VP and friends have a lovely kayaking day on the river. Got it.

Let me get this straight. - American tax payers foot the bill for VP Vance to fly to Indiana. - He does NO public events. - He hides behind a LITERAL BLACK CURTAIN - He meets with the Gov and legislators to beg them to gerrymander their map. This is astonishingly cowardly.

If Republicans are SO outraged that Texas Dems have left the state to prevent Republicans from voting on horrifically gerrymandered map… WAIT UNTIL THEY FIND OUT WHY MIKE JOHNSON CLOSED THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENT EVERYONE HOME… 😱

Food for thought as Vance heads to Indiana for only private meetings… www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Want to better understand wtf is happening in Texas and with redistricting across the country? I got you - check out this pod I recorded of Fast Politics with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

God, they are such snowflakes when everyone doesn’t do exactly as they say all the time…

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

👀 INBOX👀 :

I joined @hawkkoh.bsky.social on the @peoplescabinet.bsky.social podcast to discuss why Texas is trying to redraw the lines, what other states are doing in response, & how these fights could reshape power for years to come. Listen wherever you get your podcasts: open.spotify.com/episode/7nJb...

"ENTITLED"??? Trump thinks they are ENTITLED to 5 more congressional districts in Texas? I've never seen a President working from such a position of weakness.

‘It’s all about race’: Texas Dems blast GOP’s redistricting game, tout winning strategy to fight it www.msnbc.com/the-weekend/...

LFG.

Audience of one. Started the day with the good folks on the @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social to talk about Trump’s outrageous plan to gerrymander Texas even worse than it already is!

“I don’t care what the DOJ letter says.” GOP Chair of Texas redistricting committee claims they drew maps without considering race, despite Texas using constitutional concerns raised by the DOJ to justify redistricting.
