The White House is eyeing redistricting efforts beyond Texas to help Republicans hold the U.S. House in 2026 — and Democrats are preparing to escalate in response, with one senator vowing to go “nuclear” if needed.
What’s shaping up to be a multistate redistricting battle could mark the opening round for House control ahead of next year’s midterms, when Democrats see retaking the House as the party’s best chance to break Republicans’ hold on Congress and President Donald Trump is determined to keep the GOP’s majority. Democrats, under pressure from their base to match GOP tactics, have grown more forceful in their messaging and are taking concrete steps to push back, even as the party enters at a disadvantage.
“If they’re going to go nuclear, then so am I,” said Sen. Elissa Slotkin. “They’re forcing us into this position because they’re trying to pick their voters.”
This and many other actions lead me to believe that the US is never getting rid of this administration. They’ve deleted all safety mechanisms and all possible checks and balances, of course in their favor. Even if you get elections, I doubt the results matter.
As Stalin once famously said “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.”
Yes, we are in a second civil war. That much is clear although most refuse to come to terms with it still.
I can’t stress this enough: most people don’t want to know.
They’re going to find out.
Soon.
