Texas state Rep. Gene Wu joined a private strategy call on Thursday with Democratic leaders from other GOP-led states that might also redraw their maps.

Houston Sen. Carol Alvarado plans to filibuster a Republican bill that redraws congressional maps and adds five GOP-leaning districts, part of a Trump-backed strategy to secure House control.

Rep. Nicole Collier is one of dozens of Democrats who fled Texas earlier this month to block a vote on a Trump-backed redistricting plan.

Democrats are searching for a leader to take on President Trump. Gov. Gavin Newsom embraced that role with new online trolling and a proposed gerrymander to counter a GOP power play in Texas.

The move will allow Republicans to move forward with their plan to redraw Texas' congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Texas Republicans insisted that Democrats have around-the-clock police escorts to ensure they wouldn’t leave again.

While Gov. Greg Abbott blasted through a Democratic blockade and advanced a new congressional map, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is eying a new map in his state.

The House Democrats who broke quorum to block GOP redistricting and stopped all activity in the chamber for two weeks have each been fined more than $9,000, according to a letter dated Thursday from the chairman of the House Administration Committee.

Democratic voters loathe partisan redistricting, but support California doing it to counter Texas, according to a new national poll on Gavin Newsom’s high-stakes gerrymander.
