📣 Are you disgusted by @RepKeithSelf (#TX03, including Allen, TX) shrugging his shoulders and saying that not only can't we do anything about mass shootings but that *we shouldn't even bother* since "God is in control of our lives?"
Well, I have bad news and good news. 1/

The bad news is Self won by 23 points last year. The odds are he won't be beatable in 2024.
The GOOD news is that there are 19 *other* GOP-held seats which ARE winnable next year, and Dems only have to net 5 of them to flip the House. Donate today:

These 19 GOP-held seats are rated either Tossup, Lean R or Lean D by @CookPolitical, and all 19 are on my fundraising page. Donations go *directly* to the Democratic nominee: 3/

BREAKING: Van Taylor is suspending his reelection campaign after he was forced into a primary runoff last night. He faced last-minute allegations of infidelity.
Taylor emails supporters: "About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world. I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life."
Taylor, cont'd.: "I want to apologize for the pain I have caused with my indiscretion, most of all to my wife Anne and our three daughters."

A rundown of how much TX GOP's proposed map would shore up nine of their own incumbents who badly need it:
#TX02 Crenshaw: Trump +1 to Trump +23
#TX03 Taylor: Trump +1 to Trump +15
#TX06 Ellzey: Trump +3 to Trump +20
#TX10 McCaul: Trump +2 to Trump +20
#TX02 Crenshaw: Trump +1 to Trump +23
#TX03 Taylor: Trump +1 to Trump +15
#TX06 Ellzey: Trump +3 to Trump +20
#TX10 McCaul: Trump +2 to Trump +20
Texas Republicans' proposed congressional map is up and analyzed on the @FiveThirtyEight redistricting tracker: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…
@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.
Proposed Texas congressional map is out: data.capitol.texas.gov/dataset/cf8703… #txlege
The two new seats go to the Austin and Houston areas

HOT (VERY OPTIMISTIC) TAKE:
Joe will win TX early in the night, saving us from potential chaos.

spent a lot of time poring through TX data today.
genuinely believe Biden will win it.
demographics are changing so fast & turnout is overwhelming.

1 wild example of how fast things are changing in TX:
#TX03
2012 – Romney +29
2016 – Trump +14
2018 – Cruz +3
DCCC internal: Biden +11
a FORTY point shift in 8 years.

Hint: it's actually *not* #TX03.
p.s. by "rating changes," I might have actually meant fiddle videos...
All kidding aside, I'm not sure anyone has guessed it yet.
New at @CookPolitical: House rating changes in 20 districts, all towards Democrats. I can’t recall the last time we moved so many races at once, let alone in the same direction.
More @CookPolitical: for the first time this cycle, Democrats have at least as good a chance of picking up House seats as Republicans on a net basis. cookpolitical.com/analysis/house…

The HJC voted in favor of a new resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry and further intensifying its investigation into Trump amid a growing chorus of DEMs to hold the president accountable for his actions. The vote fell along party lines 24-17.
