The Fight Over Texas’s Future Just Escalated
Greg Abbott is helping Donald Trump change the rules so voters don’t get to decide who’s in charge—politicians do.
What’s at stake:
Texas is in a political standoff that could shape our elections for years to come.
While many Texans are still rebuilding after historic floods, Governor Abbott has decided his top priority isn’t helping families. It’s helping Donald Trump rig our elections. He called a special legislative session, not to provide relief, but to push through a gerrymandered voting map designed to lock in MAGA control of Congress. This is a blatant power grab, and Abbott is doing Trump’s dirty work.
That’s why a group of Democratic lawmakers made a bold move: they left the state to break quorum, stopping the redistricting process cold.
Since then, the threats have only escalated. Donald Trump and Senator John Cornyn have talked about using the FBI to track down and arrest these lawmakers. A bomb threat forced them to evacuate their hotel. All because they stood up to defend our democracy.
This is not just about party politics. It’s about whether Texans still get to choose our leaders, or whether yes-men like Greg Abbott let someone else decide for us. The time to act is now.
Take action:
Write, call, or record a message to thank the lawmakers who took a stand, and show them we have their backs.
Send a letter to your legislators and demand they reject Abbott’s redistricting plan.
