Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans dropped $200M on mid-decade gerrymandering expecting a guaranteed House majority. His plan fell flat on its face. I sat down with CNN yesterday to break down how AG @ericholder.bsky.social and the NDRC helped us get to this point.

Ending partisan gerrymandering nationwide is our ultimate goal. Full stop. But letting Republicans gerrymander the South without a Democratic response only moves us further from that ultimate goal.

13 days to Election Day, but the fight continues... 😬 We're keeping an eye out for a FL lawsuit aiming for a mid-decade census & more mid-decade redistricting. Voters backed by @redistrictfdn.bsky.social asked SCOTUS to reject it: buff.ly/zOV8vPG

As soon as the midterms end, Republicans plan to rush through new 2028 gerrymanders in lame-duck sessions. We'll fight back, but ending this redistricting whack-a-mole for good requires a national ban on partisan gerrymandering. Read more here: bit.ly/4iymFRx

The mid-decade gerrymandering crisis that Donald Trump started has failed. Republicans' plot to rig the midterms did not fail on its own—Democrats, led by @ericholder.bsky.social—fought back. I wrote about it for @democracydocket.com: www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Only one party has consistently fought to end partisan gerrymandering. (Hint: it’s not the GOP)

Mid-decade gerrymanders turned maps into a political weapon this cycle. We avoided a worst-case scenario this time, but case-by-case lawsuits aren’t a permanent fix. We need a national ban with a clear, measurable fairness standard to take that weapon off the table for good.

The fallout from Trump’s rigged maps will hang over our elections until we pass a national ban on partisan gerrymandering. Step #1: take back the House and Senate this November.

When you spend your days tweeting and serving foreign interests, there’s little time left to work for the American people. It’s no surprise Trump thinks his only path to victory is to cheat.

I assume we just call this a Scaram…?

Early in his second term, Donald Trump’s ego was so inflated (even by his own standards) that he thought he could get away with anything, including rigging the midterms with gerrymandered maps. Under AG @ericholder.bsky.social's leadership, we mobilized and gave him a reality check.

On the latest episode of Drawing the Line, Marina and I sat down with Texas State Rep. and gubernatorial candidate @ginafortexas.bsky.social to talk about why Texans are ready for something different and what the next governor means for redistricting. Full episode: youtu.be/QD1KhGLlF_I

If Republicans in Texas and Georgia lose this November, you can bet the lame-duck legislatures will try to pass even more extreme gerrymanders for 2028. We need a national ban on partisan gerrymandering to end this endless cycle of rigged maps.

Rough week for the lawmakers who caved to Trump and gerrymandered maps just because he asked. You spent a year redrawing maps that sell out your own voters, and now even conservative outlets are saying you did it for nothing. bit.ly/4yE8Lnn

From SCOTUS rulings to mid-decade map redraws, the fight over electoral maps is reshaping American elections far beyond this November. I joined BBC's Anthony Zurcher to discuss how we got here and where our fight to end gerrymandering goes after the midterms: apple.co/47bFEfd

The GOP spent a year telling folks their mid-decade gerrymander would lock in the House. Now their own Rep. Emmer says they're "not gonna win all 13" & he'd be shocked if they swept FL & TX.  They didn't expect anyone to fight, and fight back we did!🔥 www.axios.com/2026/10/06/h...

If he is such a legend, why isn’t he in the Hall of Fame?

NARRATOR [V.O.]: 9 seats were not in play.

It's Oct 5th. - 29 days until Election Day - Early voting has started or is starting in many states - After a year of gerrymandering, Republicans are still sowing chaos into our electoral process Know your rights, stay informed, and make a plan to vote: iwillvote.com

God, it’s maddening to think that the Red Sox were ONLY ONE quick Trump attendance away from sweeping the Yankees in that series…

State supreme courts play a critical role in ensuring fair maps. This week on Drawing the Line, Marina and I sat down with North Carolina Supreme Court Justice @anitaearls.bsky.social to talk about her path to the bench and what's at stake for voting rights in NC this November. bit.ly/3TDKO0r

“Nightmare” implies this was an uncontrollable event. GOP knew what they were doing was extremely unpopular, & yet they pushed forward. The people of Missouri did not stand for it. It’s like calling it a “nightmare” when you get arrested for stealing. www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/mi...

One thing is clear, and its that the only path forward is to bring the Scots back to Boston.

Missouri Republicans ignored court orders to toss their gerrymander, leaving voters in the dark about which district they'll vote in just weeks before Election Day. For the third time, SCOTUS ordered lawmakers to use the 2022 map. Sham lawsuits and defying courts are the new norm for Republicans.

Genuine question: what's the most absurdly shaped district in your state? Every state has one. The one that reaches across three counties to grab a single neighborhood. The one held together by a highway median. Drop yours below.

Has anyone told strong President Trump that his long loved Yankees are in the playoffs against their horrible rival Red Sox, and they are playing at Yankee Stadium!! He needs to be there to show his love for the Yankees, and it would be super alpha to be there! All games pls.

Imagine being a leading GOP voter and being told via millions of bucks in TV ads that to save Trump you need to vote because ACTUALLY the economy is great despite their entire lived experience at the gas station, grocery store, literally everywhere…

Less than 40 days out from Election Day. Everyone watches the top of the ballot. But the offices that decide what your maps look like for the next decade are further down: State supreme courts Secretaries of state State legislatures Vote the whole ballot. That’s how we fight gerrymandering.

What an absolute gift to work with the smartest lawyers in the country — brilliant humans, with deep wells of resolve, committed to doing the most good for the most people. The mind meld of @marcelias.bsky.social, Abha Khanna, @ericholder.bsky.social & @marinakjenkins.bsky.social Dream Team.

🚨BREAKING🚨: With a MAJOR Friday night win at SCOTUS for our team, we FINALLY have a final Congressional Map. 39 days from Election Day — & it will continue to include a district for Kansas City! Congrats to everyone in MO, especially those that have carried this for so long.

It’s one thing for Trump and the to sell us all out to China and Big Tech… AND THEN THERE IS HAVING A BLACK TIE STATE DINNER WITH PRESIDENT XI OF CHINA AND CEOS OF EVERY TECH COMPANY AT THE WHITE HOUSE. This country needs an election so badly.

Look forward to digging into this book by @davidpakman.bsky.social , who really has been an incredible leader in the movement to digital platforms and has always been light-years ahead of his time. Look forward to reading this to try to catch up!

Trump sold us out. He sold us out to China on this trip. He sold us out to Big Tech. All for more family money and GOP campaign cash to fund ads across the country to try to save their sinking races. Every GOP ad should serve as a reminder that we were all the price he paid.

Two more years of Congress rubber-stamping whatever Trump wants? Hard pass. In just 40 days, we have a real chance to change course. If you’re tired of the circus, now’s the time to show up and vote out the clowns. Make a plan to vote at iwillvote.com

Just before midnight, we, in support of People Not Politicians, filed a THIRD stay request in under a month w/ SCOTUS regarding the Missouri maps. This is an insane play by the 8th cir to keep throwing food against the wall. SCOTUS granted the first two. They should do so again.

Hi 👋, It’s Sept 21st. We still don’t know the final national congressional map for the election on *checks notes* Nov 3rd. An insane ruling out of the 8th circuit, again renders the MO map unsettled. It will be appealed, again, again to SCOTUS… www.kmbc.com/article/miss...

🚨BREAKING🚨: SCOTUS (AGAIN) steps in to mandate that Missouri use its 2022 map and (AGAIN) clarify that the MO Supreme Court has a role here… this is great! And (AGAIN) it’s deeply crazy that it took this much.

Today is Sept 9th. - 55 days until Election Day - Every state primary election has passed - Ballots are being printed in many states AND we still don’t know for sure what the national congressional map lines will be thanks to rogue officials in Missouri NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.
