The effort began in #Texas at the behest of #Trump & has touched off months of maneuvering in several states. #Missouri & #NorthCarolina have passed new maps to favor #Republicans. Leaders in #California, vowed a #redistricting push of their own to counter the moves in Republican states.

#Virginia, where #Democrats control the legislature, appears poised to join the fray in an attempt to swing as many as 3 of the state’s 11 congressional seats from Republicans to Democrats.

#Indiana #Republican Gov #MikeBraun called Monday for state lawmakers to return to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the state’s congressional map.

#Trump has pressured Republican governors nationwide to draw new maps so the #GOP can keep control of the #House in the #midterms. While #Republicans in #Texas, #Missouri & #NorthCarolina moved quickly to obey their #DearLeader, Indiana lawmakers have been more hesitant.

#Trump has been forthright about his intention to bring about a #DeathPenalty renaissance, & now his efforts are coming to fruition. This yr has been a particularly lethal one for the #US’ #DeathRow prisoners. Together, #Alabama, #Arizona, #Florida, #Indiana, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Oklahoma, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, & #Texas have executed a total of 40 people in the past 10 months by injection, nitrogen hypoxia, & firing squad, surpassing 2024’s total of 25—a significant spike…
