One thing should be clear: Yes, dominant parties draw maps to their benefit. Republicans do it, Democrats do it -- DURING REGULAR reapportionment. What's different here is Texas Republicans are trying to redraw maps for further advantage halfway thru the decade.

illinois gov. JB pritzker responds to ken paxton's threat to arrest TX democrats who fled the state: "they're here in illinois. we're going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them."

If Abbott does this, you’re going to see Democratic states start doing all kinds of legally questionable stuff to redistrict their states. You will have an all out districting war with constant escalation & no stopping point unless & until gerrymandering is banned. It will also

Put enormous pressure on liberal judges in those blue states to allow that stuff if the Texas courts allow this sort of nonsense.

I guess this is a needed reminder, but - AG opinions have no force or effect of law, they have no more consequence than citing a tweet from a bot #txlege

Remember how, in April, Stefanik’s nomination was pulled because R’s were worried her replacement couldn’t win a Trump+20 seat? Now they’ve somehow convinced themselves that several Trump+10-15 seats are safe even though the president is less popular??

This is the key message for TX Democrats. The TX GOP had plenty of time to address the Kerr Co. catastrophe, but chose to use it as leverage to get redistricting done. Now they can feign concern about the victims and blame Democrats for leaving the state. It's all horse shit.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul on amending the state constitution for redistricting: "The playing field has changed dramatically, and shame on us if we ignore that fact and cling tight to the vestiges of the past. That era is over. Donald Trump eliminated that forever."

I don't recall you expressing any concerns about bribery when Dan Patrick took $3 million from Ken Paxton supporters right before presiding as judge in the impeachment trial. This outrage seems selective, at best #TxLege

New: CALeg’s Democratic leaders appear ready to follow Gov. Newsom’s Congressional redistricting push. They were briefed on plans and polling last night, showing 52% of voters could approve if the ballot measure is written a certain way… kcra.com/article/califo…

Climate change reports, deleted. DEI initiatives, banned. Local TV and radio stations, defunded. The list goes on and on. President Trump and his government appointees keep asserting more control over ideas and information...

BTW, the party yelling “bribery” is the same one that cleared themselves of bribery charges. Every Republican accusation is just a confession in disguise.

“With a stroke of his pen, Abbott could have moved hundreds of millions of dollars by executive fiat. He could have called a session with the sole objective of addressing the still-unfolding crisis in the Hill Country.”

This tweet makes it hard for me to believe y’all when you say you’re not undertaking racist gerrymandering. I don’t know how you can darken the door of a church and say stuff like this.

You tried to rig the maps for Trump. They said no. Now you’re threatening felony charges? Not exactly a profile in courage.

Fact 1: Abbott is rushing Trump’s discriminatory map through #txlege before a single flood bill is even heard in committee. Fact 2: Abbott has all the power he needs to provide immediate relief but hasn’t. Fact 3: shameful to use footage of a tragedy in a political attack ad.
