Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans dropped $200M on mid-decade gerrymandering expecting a guaranteed House majority. His plan fell flat on its face. I sat down with CNN yesterday to break down how AG @EricHolder and @DemRedistrict helped us get to this point.

Ending partisan gerrymandering nationwide is our ultimate goal. Full stop. But letting Republicans gerrymander the South without a Democratic response only moves us further from that ultimate goal.

As soon as the midterms end, Republicans plan to rush through new 2028 gerrymanders in lame-duck sessions. We'll fight back, but ending this redistricting whack-a-mole for good requires a national ban on partisan gerrymandering. Read more here: bit.ly/4iymFRx

Only one party has consistently fought to end partisan gerrymandering. (Hint: it’s not the GOP)

Mid-decade gerrymanders turned maps into a political weapon this cycle. We avoided a worst-case scenario this time, but case-by-case lawsuits aren’t a permanent fix. We need a national ban with a clear, measurable fairness standard to take that weapon off the table for good.

The fallout from Trump’s rigged maps will hang over our elections until we pass a national ban on partisan gerrymandering. Step #1: take back the House and Senate this November.

When you spend your days tweeting and serving foreign interests, there’s little time left to work for the American people. It’s no surprise Trump thinks his only path to victory is to cheat.

Early in his second term, Donald Trump’s ego was so inflated (even by his own standards) that he thought he could get away with anything, including rigging the midterms with gerrymandered maps. Under AG @EricHolder's leadership, we mobilized and gave him a reality check.

On the latest episode of Drawing the Line, Marina and I sat down with Texas State Rep. and gubernatorial candidate @GinaHinojosaTX to talk about why Texans are ready for something different and what the next governor means for redistricting. Full episode: youtu.be/QD1KhGLlF_I

If Republicans in Texas and Georgia lose this November, you can bet the lame-duck legislatures will try to pass even more extreme gerrymanders for 2028. We need a national ban on partisan gerrymandering to end this endless cycle of rigged maps.

It's Oct 14th: - 20 days until Election Day - Early voting is happening across the country - Some voters are casting their ballots under brand-new maps and might not even know it MAGA wants chaos because it helps them win. We can’t let that happen.

Rough week for the lawmakers who caved to Trump and gerrymandered maps just because he asked. You spent a year redrawing maps that sell out your own voters, and now even conservative outlets are saying you did it for nothing. bit.ly/4yE8Lnn

The fight over electoral maps is reshaping American elections far beyond this November. I joined BBC's Anthony Zurcher to discuss how we got here and where our fight to end gerrymandering goes after the midterms: apple.co/47bFEfd

Sometimes, headlines don’t tell the full story … Trump’s attempt to gerrymander a midterm win for Republicans is set to go down as yet another of his embarrassing failures. But it didn’t look like that would be the case a year ago (or even a couple of months ago). 1/

We got here thanks to the tireless grassroots movement led by AG @EricHolder and @demredistrict. Americans got together to hold the line, and now we have a real shot at putting a check on the final two years of Trump’s term in office. 2/
