Travis County Democratic Party

INBOX: “We are safe, secure, and undeterred.”

@texasdemocrats.bsky.social caucus chairs issue a statement after a threat was made against their hotel this morning.

On this day in 1965, Texan Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law

On this day in 2025, Texan Greg Abbott is trying to arrest and remove Representatives defending minority voters

Vote Accordingly. ELECTION DAY NOVEMBER 03, 2026

Greg Abbott has a lot to say about what "real Texans" do, but we'll take LBJ any day. Next November, we make him unemployed.

Greg Abbott issued a warrant for my arrest, but I’m not backing down.

Texas Democrats stand up to bullies, and we fight to win. Let’s do this, y’all.

Texas House Dems response to Abbott mailchi.mp/texashousede...

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

I said it on stage with Beto O'Rourke & Jasmine Crockett, & I’ll say it again: I’m breaking quorum to protect Texans’ right to choose their own reps.

When institutions cave to Trump's demands, Texans fight back.

Today, we’re fighting Trump’s Redistricting Plan tooth and nail,

🗣️But Texans have already spoken:

There are 528 Total Registrants to Testify on HB4 with
— 489 Texans AGAINST
— 36 Texans for.

Shame on the Texas GOP for pushing this illegal map. Flood relief not politics.

The numbers just don’t add up. It makes no sense that minority voters only get to decide 40% of the representatives that are sent to congress, despite making up 61% of the Texas population. That’s EXTREME minority packing. #txlege @jasmineforus.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social

What Republicans have realized is that by disenfranchising minority voters, they can obfuscate their accountability for their actions. - Chairman Scudder

Angela Valenzuela hits the bullseye: Congressional redistricting is a weapon of ‘Mass Destraction’ from our state’s massive infrastructure needs during an environmental crisis. #TxLege

This is the biggest story in politics right now that almost no one knows about.

Trump knows he can't win the midterm election fairly. So he's trying to rig the rules before an election even happens.

If his insane redistricting plan happens in Texas, it'll spread to the rest of the country next.

Greg Abbott saw 100+ Texans dead and thought: perfect time to rig the election.

Meanwhile in Austin, we demanded FEMA restore $50M in flood prevention—no gerrymandering required.

You don’t need a tragedy to lead. Just a conscience.

YouTube video by U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett Rep. Doggett joins CNN to discuss Trump's latest power grab through Texas redistricting

Trump fears accountability, which losing his majority in Congress would bring, so he tapped Gov. Abbott to find him 5 new Republican seats in Texas by denying true representation for communities of color.

Trump is desperate to maintain his grip on power, even if it means silencing minority voices.

'Five-Alarm Fire': Texas Dem Sounds Off on Trump's Bid to Gerrymander Midterms Rep. Greg Casar called for a mass Democratic response to efforts by Trump and Texas Republicans to create new GOP seats ahead of the midterms.

This is a five-alarm fire for democracy, and the entire country MUST pay attention. Trump’s scheme to rig Texas maps is just the start — if we don’t stop it, it’ll spread across the whole nation.

We need to fight like hell to stop it.

We’re proud to celebrate this powerful day—Emancipation Day—that marks the freedom of over 250,000 Black Texans in 1865. What a joy to march with Black Austin Dems and Austin Young Dems in the Parade!

We showed up & we celebrated. Now, the fight continues. 💪❤️💚

Greg Abbott hasn’t visited a Texas public school in years.

Public schools are closing across our state, but the governor is nowhere to be seen.

This is Abbott's school closure crisis.

🚨URGENT: Texas lawmakers are pushing SB 2880, threatening severe penalties and lawsuits for abortion medication. We need YOU at the upcoming hearing to oppose this bill. #txlege
