If the economy is so great, everybody is doing fine and trump is popular as Republicans claim why are they doing a mid-decade redistricting in Texas to hold on to their House majority?!

Virginia voters approved a mid-decade redistricting plan Tuesday that could boost Democrats’ chances of winning four additional U.S. House seats in November’s midterm elections that will decide control of the closely divided Congress.
The constitutional amendment narrowly backed by voters bypasses a bipartisan redistricting commission to allow the use of new districts drawn by Virginia’s Democratic-led General Assembly. But the public vote may not be the final word. The state Supreme Court is considering whether the plan is illegal in a case that could make the referendum results meaningless.
The Virginia redistricting referendum marked a setback for President Donald Trump, who kicked off a national redistricting battle last year by urging Republican officials in Texas to redraw districts. The goal was to help Republicans win more seats in the November elections and hold on to a narrow House majority in the face of political headwinds that typically favor the party out of power during midterm elections.
But the Virginia redistricting referendum could help nullify Republican gains elsewhere.

President Donald Trump’s yearlong effort to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms has not gone as planned. But Republicans have one last mid-decade redistricting battleground on the table: Florida.
At the urging of Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida state lawmakers will gather in Tallahassee next week for a special legislative session to consider redrawing the state’s 28 congressional districts — a move that could lead to between two and five new GOP-leaning seats. But it has drawn opposition from many in his own party because of concerns it could dilute existing Republican-held seats to the point where the party could lose incumbents in the fall.
What’s wrong with the president’s apparent plan for a mid-decade U.S. census? It’s not a short list of problems.

The language of the U.S. Constitution is unambiguous when it comes to the decennial census: The government is responsible for counting “all persons” in the United States as part of a process that’s conducted every “ten years.” There are no asterisks. There is no fine print. The first census was in 1790, and the count has been conducted every 10 years since, including one in 2020.
Donald Trump, however, apparently has a new plan in mind that runs counter to our constitutional system. The president published a three-sentence missive to his social media platform on Thursday morning, which read in its entirety:
"I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
As is often the case with the Republican’s declarations, it’s an open question whether this is an actual announcement about a policy to be implemented in the real world, or whether Trump simply shared a passing thought that his aides will ignore and that the White House will soon pretend never happened.
President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded a new census well before the end of the decade excluding undocumented immigrants.

Texas Republicans have launched efforts to redraw congressional maps to secure more GOP seats in the U.S. House.

A push by Texas Republicans to redraw congressional maps to secure five more GOP seats in the U.S. House has kicked off a no-holds-barred battle between blue and red states, each threatening to redraw their own House seats.
The process of changing congressional maps in a bid to ensure one party’s victory over another — called gerrymandering — has typically been done more furtively, with parties fearing a backlash from voters wary of a rigged system.
But President Donald Trump’s call for Texas to blatantly redraw the maps to better ensure that Republicans retain control of the House in the 2026 elections has blown the lid off of the practice: gerrymandering, once a feared accusation, has now become a battle cry.

CHICAGO — In an extraordinary move to counter Republican redistricting in Texas, dozens of Democrats in the state House of Representatives are heading here Sunday to deny a necessary quorum for the GOP to move forward with those efforts.
The roughly 30 Democrats are expected to stay for the week in a plan brokered with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who had met with the Texas caucus late last month and has directed staff to provide logistical support for their stay. A news conference with the governor and Texas Democrats is expected later Sunday.
