BREAKING: Texas Republicans release their proposed congressional map that could add 5 new Republican seats and set off a consequential redistricting battle between red and blue states over control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterm elections. From: @jenrice.bsky.social
This only works if people in those district show up and vote. Gerrymandering is using past votes to predict future votes. If majority people don't bother to show up, and the other party does, it may not work as designed.
When Texans get tired of living in a fascist state, they'll elect different leaders. I'm talking statewide here.
Could we please not pull back from this and do some shit. The retaliatory redistricting seems like a good idea.
Trump ordered it, so it's going to happen.
So, all states can play that game….
Only Republican controlled states. You’ll see.
..well, that’s not what I’m hearing…it sounds like Newsome is pretty determined.
Always need to cheat.
Why does God plague Texas with fires, floods, hurricanes and, now, tarantulas?
I hope Texans are watching, the MAGATS are trying to steal and change where you vote. So in fact, they are stealing your vote and your voice. Call out your representative in your district. If Texas can change their districts, then so can every blue state.
Time to start redistricting blue states...start with California

The GOP is going to gerrymander. The GOP has relied on gerrymandering and voter suppression for decades because they are so unpopular they can only win by cheating.
Isn't it supposed to be based on population, not how they draw maps? Because I can draw a map too and I don't think the GOP would like it.
I’m not expecting an election. Sadly.
I expect an election, unfortunately like the sham elections in Russia.
The Texas GOP has successfully hijacked the government of Texas. They are now attempting to do so on a national scale. If they ram this gerrymander through, Democrats in Blue states should counter with their own gerrymander #FightFireWithFire
This is shocking. Imagine a state (where parents offer their children as tribute to republicans) doing something so shitty!!!
Republicans have been waging an unopposed redistricting war for decades. Maybe it's time Democrats considered, uhm, fighting back?
If they don't they will be like he said "might not be any blue left on the map". Dems it is time to get into fight not flight mode.
Dickwads.
NY Gov said they think they can gerrymander +30 dem seats.
I will believe that when I see it. They focused on incumbent protection last round, and it gave us today's GOP majority. We would not be in this, if not for the last NY redistricting.
Me too. The cheating works for GOP because they know dems are weak and stupid. They know if dems wake up, they're fu**ed.
With complete control of Congress, the SCOTUS, and the state government of Texas, Republicans don’t even pretend to act fairly.
