VA redistricting passes, which should add 4 more Dem seats. Trump started the mid-decade redistricting effort by pushing Texas to do in June 2025 when many Republicans felt it could backfire on them.

It has.

As seen at a crosswalk:

This is what caused Trump’s meltdown tonight.

VIRGINIA! Today, you made your voice heard loud and clear against Republicans’ gerrymandering scheme. As voters continue turning away from the GOP’s reckless agenda, one thing is clear: Democrats are on offense heading into the midterms.

WE'RE TAKING BACK THE HOUSE!

EPA’s Repeal of the Endangerment Finding Will Cost Society | The Regulatory Review EPA’s lopsided focus on regulatory costs ignores the much larger forgone benefits and the law.

This Administration’s choice to overturn one of our most important environmental protections is devastating. Without the ability to regulate greenhouse gas pollution, it will be even harder to protect our environment from climate change.

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.

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.

A social media graphic with a navy blue border and cream background. Navy blue and orange text reads, "Special election update: Virginia says YES! to new congressional maps." At the bottom of the word 'YES!,' an orange outline of the commonwealth of Virginia appears with Governor Abigail Spanberger wearing a white coat inside of the state.

It’s official: Virginians have rejected Trump and Republicans’ efforts to rig the midterms.

In less than 196 days, we will flip the House blue.

A little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution to spy on American citizens is set to expire at the end of this month.

We need to make sure Democrats don’t reauthorize this civil liberties disaster. 👇

DOJ charges Southern Poverty Law Center over paid informants The civil rights group is being investigated over how it has sought to infiltrate extremist groups, its CEO says, adding that it “will not be intimidated.”

By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists.

These intimidation tactics won't succeed.

Kash Patel ‘on the run’ amid mounting scrutiny, says Raskin YouTube video by MS NOW

“This is a guy who the public has understood for a long time is just not qualified for the job and is nothing but a political sycophant and flunky for Donald Trump,” says Rep. Jamie Raskin on FBI director Kash Patel.

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

You just got outplayed

Donald Trump wanted a showdown, so we gave him a showdown.

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

The Ohio Republican Party Has Built a Laboratory of Autocracy In the heavily gerrymandered Buckeye State, the GOP-controlled legislature rules without fear of voters, and it’s hard at work dismantling democracy.

Justice Louis Brandeis described the states as “laboratories of democracy,” testing out novel policies, with successful experiments replicated in other states or at the federal level.

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.

Virginia voters just handed Democrats another win in the Great Redistricting Wars Trump’s gerrymandering efforts are backfiring.

Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.

They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.

We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.

are we up to 15 or 16 times that we "won this war "?
I lost count of the number of times the 5 time draft dogger has claimed it over
