@democrats.org Texas redistricting is textbook gerrymandering. Trump asked Abbott to change district lines to create more Republican seats because the GOP is nervous about midterms.

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.

Republicans are more eager than ever to embrace the Big Lie and have become even bolder in their willingness to engage in mass disenfranchisement to secure and hold power. If federal courts endorse the GOP’s scheme here, it will open the floodgates to similar efforts in the future.

Trump plans to dismantle an agency that helps fund libraries. What does that mean for Texas?
The Institute of Museum and Library Services was among seven federal agencies dismantled by executive order.
