It's not a dummymander when a 30 point swing means you get wiped out. That's just plain old getting nuked, no map can save you.

Democrats have either won or significantly outperformed expectations in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION since Trump took office
This Texas upset is no different
But don’t be fooled
If we want to win the midterms, we have A TON of work to do

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

in TARRANT county?? THAT part of DFW?
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Can confirm from personal knowledge that Tarrant County is the reddest of the red. The anti-Austin.
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.

It's so weird that some Democrats in Congress still don't understand that their voters hate ICE. You can see the pure shock on their faces like a cartoon character who just walked off a cliff and suddenly realized gravity exists.

2. After bring chaos and illegality and killings to MN, the ICE assault on that city and others will continue with minimal changes.

I don't know why Dems keep throwing up their hands and saying that they can't reduce funding for ICE because it's part of Trump's mislabeled "Big Beautiful Bill".
Bullshit.
What Congress gave, Congress can take away. All they have to do is pass a bill that directs funding away from ICE and CBP

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
