They’re not redistricting — they’re voter-suppressing with a ruler.
Prop 50 says: if you steal seats, we’ll redraw the rules.
Democracy doesn’t beg — it burns the playbook.

More than 420 anti-science bills attacking longstanding public health protections – vaccines, milk safety and fluoride – have been introduced in statehouses across the U.S. this year, part of an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law.

Probably to the state line
Gov. Greg Abbott has launched an operation in Austin to remove people experiencing homelessness and dismantle homeless encampments.

It’s unclear where the state is taking people to and what services are being provided to them.
Greg Abbott orders sweep of Austin homeless camps
Homelessness has been a perennial problem in Texas’ capital city. Local officials are asking voters to raise taxes to ease the problem.

It is called kidnapping
For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.
Pay attention
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We already intuitively knew this, but GOPs (and independents) make up the majority impacted by those ACA cuts.

PS - red states estimated to be hit 2-4 times harder than blue (I have that data in an older skeet).
Useless
Mike Johnson has not heard anything about the entire East Wing being demolished and cannot speak to that.
Blaming everyone but himself
Trump never had a mandate to federalize, much less militarize, urban law enforcement. And twice in the last week, he essentially admitted it. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...
Trump Admits Americans Didn’t Vote for His Military Crackdowns
Yet he and his party keep pretending they have a mandate.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
My question is this
Does MAGA get a kick back? It seems that the 1% are the only ones getting rich
Why is this ok with GOP and MAGA?
Seriously the grifting is so nonstop that it’s impossible to keep up.

Now Yam Tits McCankle Ass is going to sue the DOJ demanding $230M in reparations.

The MAGA party is a plague on society.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

They’re not just redistricting - If they get 5 extra seats in Congress, they’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent.

Voting a certain way has consequences
What if he keeps going and demolishes the entire White House. IS ANYONE GOING TO DO ANYTHING?

I think these videos are going to break through and upset voters…..
a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom
Stop the GOp takeover!
MAGA is trying to steal congressional seats in Texas and other GOP states!

That’s why Californians are rallying behind Proposition 50 to counter Trump’s ability to steal 5 seats in Texas — and give Americans a fighting chance for fair representation in Congress.

Hey! You in the back! GOP is ok with this! Are you?
Stand up against the insanity!
"It won't touch the building."

"It will just be the East Wing facade."

"It will just be the East Wing."

"It will just the whole White House."

Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*
