Alt-Dems are tired of watching the party elite sell us out. We’re for real progressive change. Fighting corporate influence, uplifting workers, and pushing bold policies for the people.

Just an idea. Increase the size of the House to a total of 660 members to better reflect the changes in the U.S. since the limit of 435 was set in … 1929.
Sure TX and FL would gain bigly. So would CA and NY. But the representation would be more reflective of the U.S. as a whole.

At least nine states are considering mid-cycle redistricting efforts in an attempt to gerrymander new congressional seats.

The thing about gerrymandering, is BOTH parties are guilty of it.
If/when the Texas legislature flips; you’re correct to presume that the D’s will rework the districts to their own advantage; and the R’s will fly out of town (Cancun maybe?).
Is there a fair fix? 🤷🏼♂️

About Texas and Gerrymandering.
Dems are pissed that Republicans are going to redistrict the state.
Both need to remember this when the Dems become the majority and the Repub’s are pissed about redistricting.

My heart goes out to those lost in the Texas floods.
But I had better not hear anyone from the Texas congressional delegation bitch about lack of federal funds.
Y’all voted to cut shit designed to keep people alive. You wanna help? Go fill some fucking sandbags.

It will take 6-8 years to build a plant (using the Dr. Philip Barbay business model) and another 4-5 years to make an impact in the market.

@cnn.com as I watched both your 5pm (EST) “Headline News” and Fox’s “The 5” I noticed a trend.
Your focus on Elon being “out of DC,” for a full hour. Bloviating.
Fox, on the other hand jammed 4-5 stories in the same time.
There is ZERO NEED to speculate on “the news.”
Report it, and move on.

Democrats can win in 2026 by:
Owning the message (freedom, fairness, facts).
Mobilizing young + disengaged voters.
Expanding into “red” territory with real investment.
Exposing GOP extremism without flinching.
Elevating bold, generational leaders.
Using every lever of power without apology.
