Texas Republicans' proposed congressional map is up and analyzed on the @FiveThirtyEight redistricting tracker: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…

@FiveThirtyEight

@FiveThirtyEight The map shores up #TX07, #TX28, #TX32, and #TX34 for Dems and adds a new solid-blue #TX37 in Austin. In exchange, #TX02, #TX03, #TX06, #TX10, #TX21, #TX22, #TX23, #TX24, and #TX31 are made safer for their Republican incumbents.

Dem Rep. Vicente Gonzalez's #TX15 also becomes a bit redder, but still a tossup, under this map. I wonder if he moves over to the safe blue #TX34, whence Rep. Filemon Vela is retiring. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…

Wow. This isn't even as aggressive a map as I expected from Texas Rs. It could plausibly be 24R-14D, w/ the chance Rs add seats in the Rio Grande Valley & Dems gain in DFW burbs over the course of the 2020s.

https://twitter.com/allymutnick/status/1442497118342508546

A few early highlights/impressions:
- a new Dem #TX37 in Austin
- a new GOP #TX38 in Houston (for Wesley Hunt?)
- no new Hispanic majority seat (lawsuit?)
- #TX15 Gonzalez (D) made redder
- #TX03 Taylor (R) & #TX24 Van Duyne (R) not shored up quite as much as I'd have expected

Another surprise: this GOP proposal doesn't shore up #TX21 Rep. Chip Roy (R) by nearly as much as it could have. He's still got a chunk of Travis Co.

The much bigger winners: #TX02 Crenshaw, #TX10 McCaul, #TX22 Nehls, #TX25 Williams, #TX31 Carter.

@DecisionDeskHQ

hello! While we're waiting for more presidential results, I thought I'd give you an update on the House. @DecisionDeskHQ projects that Republicans have won back 5 seats on net so far. Rs flipped 7 seats and Dems won back 2 thanks to redistricting in NC businessinsider.com/2020-house-ele…

@DecisionDeskHQ

Seats projected to flip D to R, per @DecisionDeskHQ

#IA01 ( Finkenauer)
#FL26 (Mucarsel-Powell)
#FL27 (Shalala)
#MN07 (Peterson)
#NM02 (Torres Small)
#OK05 ( Horn)
#SC01 (Cunningham)

Others to keep an eye on as more votes are counted: #CA21, #CA39, #NY11, #NY22, #UT04

@DecisionDesk

Democrats have also fallen short on many of their offensive targets to flip R-held seats: their most promising pickup opportunity is #GA07, where @DecisionDesk HQ has not projected a winner and we should (hopefully!) get more clarity today as more votes are counted/reported

Michael McCaul is one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

He’s also one of the most corrupt.

A THREAD:

McCaul’s personal wealth has increased over 940% while in public office. #TX10

McCaul voted to deregulate big banks while he had millions invested in companies like CitiGroup, Bank of America, and J.P. Morgan Chase.

It’s 2020, and Waller County Republicans are still suppressing the votes of Black students at @PVAMU in #TX10.

A THREAD:

https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1290284535381471233?s=20

Prairie View A&M is Texas’ second oldest institution of higher learning, an HBCU built on top of a slave plantation.

Since the 1970’s, students have fought for voting rights against a Republican-conrolled county government seeking to deny the franchise.

https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1290284535381471233?s=20

In 1979, Prairie View students won a landmark Supreme Court battle giving students everywhere the right to register and vote wherever they attend college.

It is appalling that multi-millionaire Rep. Michael McCaul and Texas Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to strip healthcare from millions during a global pandemic and economic crisis.

A THREAD: politico.com/news/2020/08/1…

During this pandemic, McCaul voted against a common sense amendment that would prevent public money from funding this lawsuit aimed to take away healthcare coverage from 23 million Americans.
clerk.house.gov/Votes/2020175

McCaul repeatedly voted to support this lawsuit, and his family fortune helped fund these efforts through the Texas Public Policy Foundation, which recently fought to block paid sick leave from hundreds of thousands of working Texans.

YES-MAN MCCAUL, BACK AT IT AGAIN #TX10

Trump’s favorite coward @repmccaul is once again running interference for Trump’s blatant moves toward outright fascism. A THREAD:

@repmccaul

In an interview last night, @repmccaul attacked the White House Press Corps, advancing Trump’s ‘fake news’ narrative because reporters had the AUDACITY to question the violent crackdown on Portland by federal agents & Trump’s plans to expand this horror nationwide. #TX10

@repmccaul

As Chairman of House Homeland Security Committee, 2013-19, @repmccaul consistently advocated more aggressive DHS activities, including abridgments of civil liberties as he pushed for bloated growth & mission creep. McCaul remains unwavering in this project today.

Y’all.

@RepMcCaul is trying to show he cares about the human beings of this district.

But it’s weird — the people "making calls” just seem like actors. (Notice the screen on this one.)

As our friend @BetoORourke would say: true to form. #TX10

https://twitter.com/McCaulforTexas/status/1284575393102561281

Of course, this is a guy who hasn’t spent real time in the Texas 10th in a solid 12 years.

No town halls. No unscripted Q&A.

Here’s an example: he voted two dozen times to repeal Obamacare, but couldn’t bother to meet his own constituents. #TX10
austinchronicle.com/news/2017-03-0…

Not to mention his drafting the Muslim Ban.

Presiding over Family Separation.

Ignoring warnings about flood risk in Houston.

Covering for the GOP on COVID-19.

How about you? Any #McCaulStories to tell? #TX10

Progressives won in each of tonight's ideologically contrasted House primaries in Texas -- Mike Siegel in #TX10, Candace Valenzuela in #TX24. Each of these districts is GOP-held & Democratic-targeted, and should be hotly disputed this fall down and way-up the ballot.

But there's also a big loss for progressives in Texas: State Senator Eddie Lucio, a conservative Democrat who backed the 2017 'bathroom bill' for instance, beat back challenger Sara Barrera. Some context here: texastribune.org/2020/07/09/tex…

https://twitter.com/bridgetbhc/status/1283246994354511873

The DCCC was ready to go tonight with an internal showing Valenzuela leading in this GOP-held open seat (#TX24), so a quick way for them to signal they're ready to prioritize it.

At 28, #SandraBland was one of 5 sisters from IL, a graduate of the HBCU @PVAMU where she played trombone, worked as a summer counselor, & volunteered for a senior citizens advocacy.

Throughout 2015, she was passionately outspoken on social media condemning police brutality.

@PVAMU

On July 10th, 2015, #SandraBland was driving to @PVAMU to begin a summer program associate job when she was pulled over & brutally arrested for *failure to signal*. Like #GeorgeFloyd, Bland experienced a crushing knee to the neck.

This campaign has the MOMENTUM in #TX10!

This week alone we've made nearly 50K calls! And we are closing in on 150K since March 3.

This is how we are going to beat McCaul in November — with a massive, people-powered movement.

In 2018 #TX10 was a "safe" gerrymandered GOP seat that experts said was unwinnable for a Democrat.

We built a broad coalition—activists, labor, youth & more—and did the work, making 100s of 1000s of voter contacts & narrowing McCaul's advantage from 19% to 4% in one cycle.

We've built an unstoppable coalition as the July 14 runoff approaches.

Every Democratic club, every union, every enviro group, nat'l leaders like Warren & Sanders & more.

Help us finish the job — and send Trump-loving McCaul to an early retirement. secure.actblue.com/donate/siegel-…
