🚨 Texas Erupts Over Redistricting! Trump-Backed Map Could Reshape Congress

The Texas House is in chaos after Democrats walked out—again—to block a controversial Republican redistricting plan backed by former President Donald Trump. The GOP proposal could eliminate five Democratic U.S. House seats, giving Republicans a stronger grip on Congress ahead of the 2026 midterms.

As Governor Greg Abbott threatens civil arrests and House Speaker Dade Phelan signs warrants for absent lawmakers, Democrats vow to hold the line. Meanwhile, national Democrats and blue-state governors are gearing up for redistricting retaliation, including a major push in California to flip GOP districts.
