Democrats’ redistricting efforts must focus on January 2029 to avoid another Trump insurrection
Under the Twentieth Amendment, new congressional representatives will be seated three days before the next January 6th - Democrats must do everything they can to win seats before then

I know everyone is excited about Indiana rebuffing Trump.
But in the redistricting wars started by Republicans, Democrats cannot get caught up focusing on November 2026. It is January 3, 2029 that matters the most.
I explain why in my free Substack today.

This has been my point from the beginning.
I never thought they’d find anything damning - or at least more damning than what we already know about him as a sexual predator - so why all the coverup?
He only made it much worse. A full release and his MAGAlytes would have moved on.

Scarborough: "Trump is not on Epstein's list. There's nothing in there really damning about Trump or Bill Clinton. So one of the great mysteries is not what Trump's hiding, it's why if he's not in the files - which all the reporting says he's not - why is he so obsessed on blocking access to them?"

One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.
WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?
BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.
W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?
B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

To the GOP this isn't a glitch. It is the plan.
Their healthcare plan is for people to have no plan and die.

Suozzi: "In my district, if you make $130,000 & you're a family of 4, you now pay 8.5% of your income for health insurance - $10k to $11,000 a year. That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"

I’d also like to point out that you cannot surround Venezuela with an armada.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
