THE FAIREST HOUSE MAP OF THE LAST 40 YEARS!! This is what @EricHolder, @DemRedistrict, @allontheline and @RedistrictFdn - along with our MANY partners - have been working toward for years. As @EricHolder always says, WE CAN DO THIS. And we did!!! nytimes.com/2022/09/30/ups…
Huge shout out to all the Harris/Walz campaign organizers, speechwriters, researchers, and vols who organized this rally, wrote and vetted this speech, and printed these signs on such a ridiculously tight turn around. We see you and thank you for all your hard work!! 👏🏼🙏🥳
Shout out to the staffers in Delaware who just lived through the most stressful five weeks in campaign history, then flipped every piece of branding and content on a dime, raised $100m, recruited 58,000 volunteers, and generally just lit the internet on fire for Kamala Harris.
As he has always done, Joe Biden once again puts his country first. Thank you, Mr. President, for your tremendous leadership and outstanding example of character. I’m so proud to be in a party where our leaders do what’s in the best interest of the nation, not themselves.
Unprecedented times call for unprecedented actions - that’s why I’m excited to work with @RepSteveIsrael and @TimRyan to bring mindfulness meditation into our politics. To make it through these times, the inner work is as important as the work itself. 👇🏼 thehill.com/opinion/campai…
There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.…
I love Joe Biden. He has done more things of consequence in his one term than any president in the modern age. He saved us from COVID, an economy in free fall, and Donald Trump’s second term. And, I love our country. We are entering into a conversation that many thought we…
Our Executive Director Marina Jenkins (@marinakate31) responds to Callais v. Landry—the lawsuit that was filed to undo Louisiana’s fair congressional map. The outcome of this case could determine the future of Section 2 of the VRA. Stay tuned for more updates via @DemRedistrict!
No question that @PeterMAmbler leaves big shoes to fill, but @Emma_S_Brown is the exact right person for the job. Congratulations to @GIFFORDS_org for this exciting leadership transition! Looking forward to the consequential impact you will continue to have on this country.
NEW: We’re excited to announce @Emma_S_Brown—the new Executive Director of @GIFFORDS_org! Emma is known for building high-caliber teams & programs in tough terrain. Under her leadership, we'll deepen our focus on notching wins in political battlegrounds. 19thnews.org/2024/01/giffor…
Top-notch spotlight by @axios today! Margaret Richardson is the very best there is, and @gofundme is so lucky to have her. She makes a huge and positive impact on everything she does, and @gofundme will be no exception. Go @margaretlr go! axios.com/2023/11/16/spo…
Major victory. If the very gerrymandered state legislature had its way, Republicans would have put in place a ban totally inconsistent with the desires of the people. A concrete example of the pernicious effect of gerrymandering and why we have to fight to eliminate it.
I've seen enough: in a victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1, a measure to establish a right to an abortion in the state constitution, passes.
This is why redistricting is still so relevant and why the work of @DemRedistrict is still so important ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Judges have now found that Republicans in Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida all used their redistricting power to discriminate against Black voters after the 2020 census
Watch as the research is done and uncovers the truly crazy positions this new Speaker has espoused. This is still a Republican Party out of touch with the American people. And reality.
This is a result of the actions of arrogant politicians who pursued map manipulation in order to gain unearned power—and the actions of state supreme court justices who acted as ideologues instead of neutral arbiters when they reversed a recent decision made by the same court.
🚨BREAKING: North Carolina Republicans have just enacted one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country. NC is a 50/50 state — but you wouldn’t know that from looking at the new maps – which cement an illegitimate advantage for the GOP. It’s shameful & undemocratic.
I mean, let’s be real - Mike Johnson is an accurate reflection of where the Republican Party is today. His agenda is their goal. His leadership is not because of a small faction in the party - it is a reflection of where they are. And they have been headed here for years.
Gerrymandering enables the elections of extremists and election deniers - and Jim Jordan’s congressional career is the product of extreme map manipulation in Ohio. This is a photo of Jordan’s old “duck” district that brought him to Congress.
Alabama has a new, fairer congressional map that gives Black voters an equal opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. This is a historic win for voting rights and democracy, and it happened thanks to the hard work of Black voters, advocates, and organizations like…
The court ordered victory today - creating a new black opportunity district for Congress in Alabama - is for my late sister in law Vivian and those other black Alabamians - here and gone - too long denied equal representation. Their commitment and sacrifice made this day possible
Republicans trying to deflect attention on their own dysfunction by attacking Nancy Pelosi is about the most predictable thing to happen today.
What a disgrace: the very first move of acting Speaker Patrick McHenry was to evict Nancy Pelosi from her office space in the Capitol while she was away mourning the loss of Diane Feinstein. Pelosi just responded. meidastouch.com/news/mchenry-e…
THIS
Ryan, Cantor, McCarthy were all three taken out because they lost control of the Frankenstein monster that they themselves helped to animate in the GOP basement lab.
Just a reminder that with the *exact same margin* that Republicans currently have, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure package, gun safety law, PACT Act, CHIPS Act, and reauthorized VAWA. Republicans can't even choose a Speaker.
