Blue State Republicans won the House for the GOP in 2024

Many of those Blue State Republicans will lose their seats due to Trump and Abbotts insane redistricting war

Democrats are ready to target 30+ Republican districts

Checkmate- Democrats

DEMOCRATS‼️

If you’re worried about fighting dirty, remember this—extreme partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina handed Republicans three extra seats and control of the House in 2024.

Fighting fire with fire is long overdue.

ICE GOONS in Burbank have been seen tearing down cameras, breaking doors, and shattering windows at a restaurant.

Meiselas: We’re seeing a global realignment. Trump touts fake deals, but countries say there is no deal. Modi may meet Xi. Australia’s buying warships from Japan, Canada’s buying planes from France, and Europe is turning away from U.S. weapons. The world order is reshuffling.

Jennings: I think the president is saying to the American people, why are we counting illegal aliens apportioning our political leadership?

Kasparian: Because it's in the constitution, the United States constitution, the supreme court ruled on this in 2019, and they ruled against Trump

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.

There it is👇Alex deGrasse tells Steve Bannon how Trump and MAGA Republicans plan to steal the 2026 midterms. It’s a three pronged approach: 1. Rig-Districting 2. A new census brought on by executive order and 3. SCOTUS overturns the Voting Rights Act. Now you know the plan! Fight accordingly ‼️

NYT: “.. Trump treats facts in the same way that he treats people: He expects them to line up in support of his goals, and if they don’t, he seeks to get rid of them.

“.. in doing so, he is leaving Americans ever more reliant on whatever he declares to be the truth.”

GOP Lawmaker Changes Law to Help Relative Facing Child Rape Charges State Senator J. Stuart Adams had a relative charged with raping a 13-year-old—so he rewrote the state’s consent laws.

FBI will help locate Texas Democrats who fled the state, Cornyn says Texas GOP have been threatening the state legislators with "legal consequences" for breaking the quorum.

Federal law enforcement is being used to literally hunt down Texas Democrats in Illinois so Republicans can draw new electoral maps and disenfranchise millions of people.

An extremely scary precedent is being set right now and Illinois is the first proving ground: www.axios.com/2025/08/07/f...

This Is Not a Drill: When the FBI Hunts Lawmakers for Political Resistance...You’re in a Coup The coup isn’t coming. It’s underway. And unless we treat it like a five-alarm fire, we lose everything.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a stone-cold monster. She roamed the clubs and hotels of Palm Beach and New York like a wolf, luring and locking vulnerable girls into a sort of sex slavery. Never forget the girls.

#TrumpTariffs will raise costs for American consumers by increasing prices on imported goods like electronics, clothing, and food. Domestic producers may also hike prices, squeezing wallets and fueling inflation.

Mamdani on Cuomo "conspiring" with Trump: "It is time for us to make clear that what this city deserves is a mayor who when he sees Donald Trump attacking the people of this city will stand up and fight back against that vision, who will not get on the phone with the architect of that vision."

Freaking dangerous! Let’s hope measures have been taken to protect these heroic legislators.
