John,
Republicans know they’re on the wrong side of history. Faced with the
fallout emanating from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, they’re working overtime to
rig the rules before voters can hold them accountable next year. 👇
[ [link removed] ]A headline from Democracy Now detailing Texas Republican's attempts to
gerrymander congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms.
In Texas, state Republicans are redrawing legislative maps ahead of 2026.
Not because voters asked for it — but because they’re afraid of what
voters will say at the ballot box.
This isn’t democracy, it’s desperation. And it’s happening right in front
of our eyes.
Faced with few options, state Democrats have left the Capitol to deny
Republicans a quorum needed to pass legislation. Governor Greg Abbott has
issued threats to arrest and remove the rebel lawmakers if they don't
return.
John, this is
serious. Redistricting experts and watchdogs have raised the alarm. The
GOP is exploiting off-cycle redistricting windows to draw even more
distorted maps that could lock in their power for years to come.
Their goal is clear. But so is ours.
We are not going to let Republicans get away with this authoritarian power
grab. When democracy is under attack, we don’t play along. We fight
back, John.
Texas State House Democrats are doing everything they can to defend these
lawmakers and elect even more like them, to even the playing field. And
right now, they could use your help.

GOP’s desperate map-rigging scheme?

Today, it’s Texas — but we know the GOP’s coordinated attacks on our
democracy won’t end there.
If we don’t show up now and speak up in one loud voice, we’re setting
ourselves up for failure down the road. And with so much at stake, we
can’t afford to get this wrong.
We’re not backing down — not now, not ever.
More to come,
