Nonilex“We’re not going to tolerate our #democracy being stolen in a modern-day stagecoach heist by bunch of law breaking cowboys,” New York Gov. #KathyHochul said Monday, flanked by several of the [#Texas] lawmakers who fled. “If #Republicans are willing to rewrite rules to give themselves an advantage, then they’re leaving us with no choice: We must do the same. You have to fight fire with fire.”

Democrats prevent Texas from voting on Trump-backed congressional map
Texas Democrats have prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward, at least for now, with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Donald Trump. The map would shore up Republicans’ 2026 midterm prospects as Trump's political standing falters. After dozens of Democrats left the state, the Republican-dominated House was unable Monday to establish the quorum of lawmakers required to do business. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has made threats about removing some members of the opposition from their seats. Democrats pushed back Monday. Some mocked Abbott as the weak figure in the drama, saying he is “bending a knee” to Trump. And at least one legal expert casts doubt on the governor's ability to sanction any state lawmaker.

California and Texas grapple for political advantage in advance of 2026 midterms
Texas Democrats prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward, at least for now, with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Donald Trump. In California, the state's dominant Democrats are maneuvering to counter Trump's Texas play by boosting Democratic House seats in the liberal-leaning state. The rivalry tugging at the nation's political balance is playing out in advance of the 2026 midterm elections, with both parties angling to gain ground in Washington. The Texas map would shore up Republicans’ midterm prospects as the president's political standing slumps. California Democrats are weighing political maps that could slash five Republican-held House seats in the liberal-leaning state.
The impasse centers on #Trump’s effort to get 5 more #GOP-leaning congressional seats in #Texas, at #Democrats’ expense, before the #midterms. That would bolster his party’s chances of preserving its fragile US #House majority, something #Republicans were unable to do in the 2018 midterms during Trump’s 1st term.
We Must StrikeA reminder to all #Americans that the motto of your #Republican party is "POWER AT ANY PRICE." If that means lying, cheating, and stealing--so be it. If that means breaking the law and the #Constitution--so be it. If that means supporting a #president who is a #rapist and #pedophile--SO BE IT.
Your #midterms will not restore sanity to your country. The #GOP will not permit it. #GENERALSTRIKE
