Are we just going to gloss over the fact that Trump mandated a Texas Congressional map gerrymander, drew his own map with no input from folks in state, and demanded it be passed?
Then that drew Dan Crenshaw into a district that he got destroyed in?
NEW EPISODE: Republicans started a mid-decade redistricting war thinking they could get away with it.
Now voters & lawmakers are pushing back — and they can't handle it. 🤡
Watch @johnbisognano.com & @marinakjenkins.bsky.social break it all down in our latest episode: youtu.be/ZtJts5_JDQY
America: Let’s watch the USA v Canada gold cup game!
Trump: I’m going to call into CSPAN and pretend it’s not me to complain about stuff.
We are in the dumbest timeline…
🎙️NEW POD: “It’s just pure partisan greed.”
In this week’s episode of Drawing the Line, @johnbisognano.com & @marinakjenkins.bsky.social break down the latest on mid-decade redistricting and the SAVE Act, a bill that could disenfranchise millions if passed.

Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go.
He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out.
Lesson to be learned. We have power.
Our US Constitution & the Bill of Rights clearly protect citizens:
Amd 1. Free speech and peaceful assembly
Amd 2. Freedom to bear arms
A man was executed today by the US Government for exercising those rights.
We are in the darkest of places.
Everyone needs to wake up.
So let me get this straight. The Justice Department WON’T investigate the shooting of a woman protesting ICE excesses in Minnesota but WILL investigate the Governor and Mayor?
What are you going to charge the Mayor and Governor with? “Felony disagreement?”
Absurd and shameful.
In the latest episode of Drawing the Line, @marinakjenkins.bsky.social & @johnbisognano.com cover:

“There is a double-edged sword of Damocles hanging over voters in 2026,” said John Bisognano, the president of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which has led the party’s map push. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...
“I think every Democratic state that has the opportunity to redraw their maps should be looking at this current moment in time and watching Gov. DeSantis very closely,” explained John Bisognano, the president of the NDRC & its affiliates.

Hi, just your standard casual reminder that the attached image is taken from the Florida Constitution re: redistricting.
Not a law. Not a suggestion. Not the back of a napkin.
The Florida Constitution.
James A. Downs talks to @johnbisognano.com as he reflected on the rollercoaster year of redistricting.

For those wondering…
U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11:
The Congress shall have Power… To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;…
The Indiana state senate did the right thing — put people over power, and refused to be bullied into an absurd reality where Trump doesn’t have to face any accountability in Congress. @marinakjenkins.bsky.social & I discuss on the newest episode of Drawing the Line — watch now 👉 youtu.be/2ZrcNtXrMQc
The stakes have changed—and Redistricting Action will meet this moment—with clarity, strength, and urgency. We’re ready for the fights ahead. Join our movement and help ensure we have a truly representative democracy: redistrictingaction.org
This year, we witnessed something unprecedented: the President of the United States leading a mid-decade gerrymandering charge designed to tilt elections and silence communities. But the American people have fought back against this shameless power grab. 2/
🚨Exciting update: All On The Line is now @redistrictingaction.org!
This rebrand reflects the work we’ve already been doing: fighting for a representative democracy, educating people on the redistricting process, and empowering voters to hold map-drawers accountable. 1/
Provided without comment.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
I don’t know how else to say it…

📢 NEW: The Supreme Court has allowed Texas Republicans’ racist, gerrymandered maps to stand.
This decision undermines fair representation, further divides communities, and rigs the political playing field for the future.
The fight continues. Texans deserve fair maps and a real voice.
Just like he shrugged off January 6, Donald Trump is now turning a blind eye to the intimidation and threats Indiana lawmakers are facing for trying to do the right thing. It's concerning.
“They have no place to go but to cheat”: @johnbisognano.com, President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, explains the desperation behind Republicans’ redistricting efforts.

This week’s ruling striking down Texas’s Trump-ordered gerrymander was a critical win for voters ahead of 2026.
It’s also a reminder that no gerrymander is untouchable.
Even when Republicans stack the deck against us, the will of voters can still WIN.

🚨BREAKING🚨 : Texas Congressional map STRUCK DOWN by a Federal judge as racial gerrymander!!
Map returns to its prior iteration before Donald Trump picked up the phone and told Greg Abbott he needed him to gerrymander Texas to the most extreme degree.
Great to be with the incomparable @profmmurray.bsky.social at the @texastribune.org festival.
Never underestimate the power of the American people. We need to keep organizing, making our voices heard and pushing back against Republicans efforts to gerrymander & circumvent the will of the people.
