Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton threatened to arrest state Democrats who obstruct plans to draw new congressional maps, raising the stakes for a controversial effort backed by President Donald Trump as a way of protecting the slim Republican majority in the US House of Representatives.

One of the defining elements of the Trump DOJ’s boundless first few months has been the extravagant and absurd claims to secrecy it has made in court. The sheer volume of secrecy claims and the clear overreach by the Trump DOJ in making them is creating persistent downward pressure on the presumption of openness and transparency.

It's almost time to redraw Ohio's congressional map, and Republicans hold all the power to draw more GOP districts headed into competitive national midterm elections.

Redistricting is one of 18 items on the agenda during the Texas legislative special session that begins July 21.

Democrats are condemning the Trump administration's push to redraw Texas' congressional maps in an apparent attempt to maintain Republican majority in the legislature.

More eager to play ball is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has been floating an equal and opposite redistricting response in light of Texas’ proposed moves. “Two can play this game,” Newsom, a widely speculated 2028 hopeful, wrote on X today.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday confirmed he's seriously considering two options to try to redraw California's congressional districts to get more Democrats elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
