Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

If ever there is an FAFO lesson for Republicans, the Virginia referendum tonight is it.

Listen to Republicans whine now that Trump’s little redistricting ploy has backfired and we are actually picking up seats. Now they discover democracy!

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.

You just got outplayed

Election Live Updates: Virginia Passes New Map, Lifting Democrats’ Midterm Chances

Virginia is for FAFO 😉 www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Virginia voting FOR redistricting in favor of Democrats underscores how stupid Donald Trump was to start this redistricting war in Texas.

Much like Donald's poorly thought-out war in Iran, his gerrymandering war is BACKFIRING on him. What a sad, simple man.

Texas Republicans started the mid-decade redistricting fight and Virginia Democrats finished it.

Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.

I like it more when Republicans lead for a bit before Fairfax and Richmond come in. It’s cute

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Yahoo! Dems fighting back!

“hey we didn’t start this shit but it’s on” re gerrymandering is the most fight Dems have shown in… well, quite a while

Sucking up?

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

But the fact that the GOP has zero interest in protecting Americans from him, tells us everything we need to know…

100%

Good. Hypocrite

Bunch of drunks
