Texas Democrats have fled the state for the second time since 2021, this time to block a redistricting push ahead of the midterms. But “so far, no word from Trump,” Jake Traylor says on #playbookpod, even though the fight was fueled by the president: ow.ly/om8s50Wzj7K

Trump's silence changes soon. He will send federal marshals to kidnap the Texas Dems and bring them back to Texas. Where they will be locked at the statehouse chambers until the session ends.

Participate in the process. Give Texas enough rope to hang themselves. Gerrymander the heck out of Texas. Just don't complain when California and New York do the same thing.

Trump is looking for them in the rough on his golf course, a place he never visits because all of his errant shots miraculously hit trees and always rebound into the fairway, thanks to his Secret Service detail.

In regard to Texas redistricting, it should be committee driven, publicly accountable process that adheres strictly to equal-population and anti-discrimination laws. Texas should move to an independent commission for long term fairness and public trust.

The republicans need to gerrymander the districts in order to gain more seats? Huh. I guess that’s because they realize that the voters think they suck?

Good! I hope the DEMS keep leaving for these votes! Texas needs a good dose of Governor Ann Richards and Representative Charlie Wilson right now to clean up the state! What happened to you, Texas? Texas used to be a state to be admired instead of a state to be avoided.

If Trump and Maga can not win elections fairly, then the election will be fixed, or not held.
