Breaking: Texas House redistricting committee passes Trump’s egregiously gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 5 new seats & 80% of congressional delegation in state Trump won with 56% of vote. Increases # of seats Trump won by 10+ points from 25 to 30 & reduces # of competitive seats from 2 to zero
If you are in a blue state, start blowing your state elected’s phone and tell them they need to redistrict, too. This just became the most important issue of our moment.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

If there’s a problem with your ballot, your vote can still be counted. The deadline is 4:30 p.m. Nov. 24. And this election, it might matter more than in most.

Keep calling Schumer‘s office and leaving messages telling him how much he sucks.
And if your Senator IS Schumer (like me) take every opportunity to remind him how dreadful he is. (I found this out when he took offense at a humorous protest banner I had pinned to my dress at a benefit and he came onto the dance floor to yell at me that I was the only not nice person there!)

One way you know Sen. Cantwell was in on the scam is she’s muting or blocking everyone calling for Schumer’s removal from leadership.
This bill doesn’t address the core issue that millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford ACA insurance coverage next year. I’m willing to work with anyone to create a path forward but this isn’t it.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

Hey @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov: either you immediately call for Schumer’s removal from leadership, or you were in on it.
Hey @murray.senate.gov & @cantwell.senate.gov, we know the caucus is behind Schumer and Schumer’s behind the surrender. We know you keep Chuck in place because he does what the caucus wants. We won’t be fooled by any fake “no” votes it if it passes with @democrats.senate.gov votes. Expect primaries.
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
