At Center for American Progress. Former Rep Beto O’Rourke on Texas: “The President is growing increasingly unpopular.” He cannot retain his narrow majority in the House so he is asking for districts to be redrawn mid-decade.

Lawyer Norm Eisen on Donald Trump: “He said he wants to be a dictator on day one and he has never abandoned that ambition… We’ve got to fight in the court of public opinion and we’ve got to fight in the court of law.”

Eisen on redistricting: "I've seen some modelling of what the Texas legislature will have to do. It looks like a jigsaw puzzle cut be someone who took LSD."

O'Rourke: "Look at how Trump uses power: it is awe-inspiring. He is using it to evil ends. Imagine, keeping with the constitution and rule of law, a Democrat in that White House with a Democratic majority in the House and Senate."

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq
