Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone?

Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics. They cite polling data showing low favorability for the Democratic Party. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers have strategically left Texas to thwart Republicans' latest effort to further gerrymander the Congressional map ahead of next year's midterm elections. While facing bomb threats at their hotels to threats from President Trump to sic the FBI on them, Texas Democrats have so far succeeded in preventing a vote, but how far are they willing to go to win this fight? In this exclusive interview, recorded at the 2025 Netroots conference in New Orleans, LA, TRNN editor-in-chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke about the national stakes of the political showdown in Texas, and about what Democrats are and aren't willing to do to prove to working people that they're actually going to fight back against MAGA authoritarianism.Credits:Kayla Rivara, Rosette Sewali, Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Democrats say they are headed home and pretend they “raised awareness” on redistricting but they did not raise awareness in the way they intended. Instead, the story that got out the most was how Texas is simply playing catch-up on redistricting many big Democrat states had already grossly gerrymandered their Congressional seats to benefit Dems at the expense of Republican voters. Jonathan Turley's column today is one of many demonstrating my claim of how Dems didn't accomplish what they wanted.Also, the U.S. Department of Justice is being asked to look into improper fundraising, use of funds, etc. by these AWOL Dems under federal law.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Lt.

Marc welcomes Missouri State Sen. Nick Schroer to dig into the Texas redistricting fight—where four new Hispanic-majority districts are leaning Republican—and the GOP opportunity Missouri missed in 2022 to adopt a 7–1 congressional map. Schroer says Gov. Parson “had no stomach” for it, and questions whether Gov. Kehoe will act, though he predicts a September special session could pair redistricting with initiative petition reform. They slam Missouri Democrats for following Texas Democrats to Illinois during political standoffs, call out the hypocrisy of ignoring gerrymanders in blue states, and argue Republicans are now the “party of fairness” by working across the aisle when policies make sense. Schroer closes by blasting the Francis Howell superintendent's $240K payout without working a day, vowing to investigate alongside the state auditor and attorney general.
