Reports from Indiana about the meeting did not exactly describe a ringing endorsement of the Trump administration’s ratfuckery.

The pilgrimage to Indiana on Thursday was, of course, one prong of a broader Trump administration effort to try to force red states to engage in midcycle redistricting and redraw congressional maps to flip seats from Democrat to Republican.

They’re doing this because they are worried that Democrats are going to take back the House in the 2026 midterms, presumably due to polling on the unpopularity of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, Medicaid cuts and constitutional norm shattering, among other things.

As things currently stand, Democrats would have to pick up just three seats in order to take back the House, which would not just end Trump’s trifecta in Washington, but also open the Trump administration up to a wave of investigations as Democrats would then hold subpoena power.

So this means the Dem leadership will support popular policies to ensure victory, right?

Do you think this could also be about making sure a repuboican-friendly house is in place for the 2028 election? I'm not big on the "trump is seeking a third term" train but odds are good they're going to try to steamroll democracy in 2028
