“Senior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Naval Station Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appalling.”

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

The people of Texas are speaking truth to power. Listen to your neighbors explain why they’re fighting against manipulated district lines that threaten to divide our communities.
These are the voices that matter most in the redistricting process.

The money you lose will be handed directly to a handful of giant corporations and billionaires as tax giveaways.
We still have time to stop it.
