Indiana Senate Republicans won't be voting to gerrymander

And the pendulum continues its swing in the other direction. White people are choosing coexistence and survival after realizing annihilating their enemies comes with the heavy cost of guaranteeing their own demise.

I have no idea what's going to happen anymore. One day it seems like the entire Republican party has no backbone and will allow Trump to do whatever he wants and the next day, Indiana of all places, has senate republicans in that state who stand up against gerrymandering (even after Trump threatens them for the whole world to see).

Those elections two weeks ago put the whole party on notice. Trump said it himself, the shut down and Trump not being on the ballot is why they lost. Well Trump isn’t going to be on the ballot anymore, and the democrats are probably going to only ever agree to a few months of open government at a time.
Basically none of their jobs are safe in 2026 and 2028 and all of them need to tread lightly
It's WAY too early to be declaring that
I'm sure people were saying this a couple years ago and then Trump got reelectedAll the GOP has to do is come up with an effective enough dogwhistle to rile them up again
Bro… they turned their SNAP and EBT off, fukked up their farming money, kicked them out of all kinds of jobs and their healthcare is about to go up quadruple.It's WAY too early to be declaring that
All the GOP has to do is come up with an effective enough dogwhistle to rile them up again
They thought they could deal with it, but they can’t. MAGA even voted to release the Epstein files yesterday.
They ain’t bout that life for real.

It's not gonna be that simple. It's not just a bunch of dog whistles hanging in a closet and they truly went to the extreme this time. They also need a Trump type figure.It's WAY too early to be declaring that

Just shows they know the truth, that this month's elections weren't just blue states and blue cities voting. What makes a district blue or red is the margins, and if you take a R+8 district and turn it into R+3, you lose the risk of losing the district entirely in a wave.

Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through the mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump. Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would appeal.

Washington Post editorial is incorrect on my position on mid decade redistricting. Incorrect for the Editorial Board to label me as a “vocal opponent.” I have not seen a proposed map or proposed legislation. I continue to listen to the residents of IN Senate District 38.

As a former GOP voter, and hopefully GOP voter again someday, the resolve you and your colleagues are showing is encouraging. I do hope the party turns away from the bigotry, conspiracy and chaos and gets back to its principles. I’m rooting for you.

He’s right. You are a RINO and a Liar. I called yesterday and you had your people telling callers you were undecided. All the while behind closed doors you were a yeah for no redistricting. And now we have you on record. You snake!

It really is this, they are not sure they win more seats, let along hold onto the seats they have if a blue wave happens. If they gerrymander the risk of them losing more seats will only grow.

Trump's scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly faltering:
*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

@GregTSargent
There's a plausible scenario in which Trump's igging backfires. If Dems do redraw Virginia, added seats on both sides might be close to a wash. And GOP gerrymanders could make other GOP seats vulnerable if Dems win big in 2026.

The appeals court or Scotus has more than enough time to overturn the court ruling before the deadline. And we know this will go to the Supreme Court.
That’s how things work now. The administration does whatever it wants then waits to get sued and lose all the way to SCOTUS

Looks like Trump’s attempt to help MAGA seize control of Congress by gerrymandering backfired
Bigly
Not only did the Texas court reject the maps
Indiana refused to redistrict
So did Kansas
Meanwhile, California and Virginia move closer to drawing maps that favor Democrats
[Quoted tweet]
Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned -- and democracy won.
This ruling is a win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.
