32R-6D, VRA compliant map. Closest seat is TX-21 at Trump+13.8. I have submitted the map to the Texas legislature. Make it happen, @TexasGOP
🚨MAJOR PARTY SWITCH IN NEW JERSEY The longtime Democrat sheriff of Hudson County NJ has just SWITCHED to Republican 🔵->🔴 Hudson County has long been considered NJ’s bluest county, and now Democrats are jumping ship there New Jersey is flipping FAST hudsoncountyview.com/hudson-county-…
🧵 Republican mid-decade redistricting is only to catch up to current Democratic gerrymandering: Dem % of vote - Dem % of seats CA: 58 - 77 OR: 55 - 83 NV: 47 - 75 NM: 52 - 100 IL: 54 - 82 MD: 62 - 88 NJ: 52 - 75 NY: 56 - 73 CT: 56 - 100 MA: 61 - 100 NH: 51 - 100
Don’t get mad at us. When this is all over, I want Democrats to ask Kathy Hochul if it was worth it. Was the rush of getting 4 unearned seats in 2024 worth losing the House in 2026 and 2028? Well?

Democrats already have nearly maximally gerrymandered their big states: California 43-9 (83%) Illinois - 14-3 (82%) Massachusetts - 9-0 (100% New Jersey - 9-3 (75%) New York - 19-7 (73%) Removing the VRA would yield minimal gains, but doom at least ~10 black Southern Dems.
It’s time for Democrats to understand the existential threat. Republicans aren’t playing around and they will do this as long as it takes to keep power. It’s time we dilute VRA districts. There are plenty of Democratic districts that have 65-80% Dem performance.
I can't wait to hear Cooper being asked about Mamdani, Congressional Democrats' 19% approval rating, men in women's sports, etc. His popularity will sink quickly. Like what happened in the Tennessee Senate race.
The WSJ PURPOSELY made the Trump stuff behind a paywall, so the only thing people would see is the headline. The article itself admits a bunch of other names were in the documents, AND they didn't think it was credible and believed it was bullshit. Notice what's going on here?
The weirdest Dem claim--because it is so easily disproven--is that somehow Dems only gerrymander in response to Republicans gerrymandering.

It’s also worth pointing out that Cooper will be 70 next year, his response to Hurricane Helene was very poorly received in western NC, and he underperformed expectations pretty drastically in 2020 (RCP had him winning by 11 points).
Crazy how @AlexxFromATX went from a resist lib a few years ago who called me a fascist to now being to the right of me on social issues. Honestly massive W
I can’t be the only one who despises the behind the plate angle.. I want to be able to see if it’s a strike or not lol doesn’t seem like too much to ask
Didn't have Democratic politicians openly calling for the weakening of the VRA on my 2025 bingo card

Once again, they can’t. Hogan appointed judges will strike it down like they did last time. It’s quite telling that for the most part dems are maxed out as far as gerrymandering goes. x.com/RedistrictNet/…
#NEW: MD House Majority Leader Moon (D) says he is prepared to introduce legislation to redraw Maryland’s congressional map as a response to redistricting efforts in other states.
This. What dems don't understand is that they have far more hurdles to jump through then Republicans to redistrict. CA has the commission and Legislature v. Deukmejian, Maryland has a Hogan stacked state supreme court, Illinois is already Gerrymanderd to hell, NJ has it banned.
The Maryland Supreme Court, has a majority of Hogan appointed justices. When democrats tried this three years ago, they struck it down. Hard to see why they wouldn’t do so again.

I'm introducing legislation to redraw Maryland congressional districts if any other state cheats & draws new maps outside of the census period. Seems Trump has convinced Texas, Missouri & others, and FWIW TX did it years ago & got away with it because nobody responded. #mdga26
What Democrats can't admit publicly is that they are already so much better at gerrymandering than Republicans that they have less juice to squeeze. Check out this little table I made based on 2024 House elections. Blue states are master gerrymanderers. GOP can't compete.
#NEW: Gov. Phil Murphy says that there are currently no plans to redraw New Jersey's congressional map, but that he doesn't rule out the possibility. newjerseyglobe.com/redistricing/m…
