As Governor, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will protect New Jerseyans’ fundamental freedoms, including voting rights, workers’ rights and reproductive rights. Her opponent will do none of these things. The choice is clear in this consequential election. Mikie stands with the people. Vote for Mikie!

Gov. Abbott is whining because Democrats won’t back down in the redistricting fight he and Trump started.
(Mind you, Gov. Newsom is giving voters the power to vote on their maps while Gov. Abbott is rigging them.)

Trump made the GOP playbook to win the midterms very clear: suppressing voters and dismantling democracy at all costs.
From rigging maps to gutting voting access, everything is on the table.

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts
Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.

BREAKING: Texas Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Gerrymander — packing and cracking Black and Latino communities and reducing their representation.
This map is discriminatory. Republicans want to rig the system so Trump and his allies never face accountability.
