Texas Democrats have returned after fleeing the state earlier this month to prevent the passage of a new Republican-backed redistricting plan, which could add more GOP House seats in next year's mid-term elections. The fight over redrawing congressional maps in the Lone Star State didn't just spark a national debate over gerrymandering but has also motivated California to retaliate with its own redistricting plan that would favor Democrats. Chuck Devore, a Republican executive with the Texas Public Policy Foundation and former California State Assemblyman, joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss the redistricting battles in Texas and California and how they may impact other states' actions and the 2026 elections.President Trump has announced plans to issue an executive order aimed at eliminating mail-in voting to "bring honesty to the midterms." His statements have reignited the debate over election integrity. Daron Shaw, a member of the Fox News decision desk and polling team and a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, joins the rundown to discuss how mail-in voting in America compares to other countries, the extent of federal government power over elections, and how the issue has become increasingly partisan.Plus, commentary from the Vice President of the Lexington Institute and Military Analyst, Dr. Rebecca Grant.

Then, Trump ramps up military presence in D.C. and says he's looking for a long-term extension of his police takeover. California kickstarts its own redistricting effort, as Texas Democrats game out their exit strategy. Yamiche Alcindor, Tim Miller, Daniel Koh, and Pablo Torre join The 11th Hour this Wednesday night.

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? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation.

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.

The most corrupt and criminal Presidency is using the most corrupt DOJ created in its image to try to destroy the Democratic Party, state, federal and local, and distract from Trump failing the American people.  Ben and Popok are back on the top-rated Legal AF podcast to call out the corruption and examine: 1) the "secret" White House meeting of the corrupt DOJ/FBI and the White House in furtherance of the Epstein scandal coverup; 2) Trump's depraved efforts to deny birthright citizenship suffering a 4th blow with a new federal court injunction with no Supreme Court "emergency appeal" to bail him out in sight; 3) Trump conspiring against a sitting US Senator and New York Attorney General to have his DOJ open phony criminal investigations against his main political rivals, 4) Texas Democrats fight back to stop the elimination of Democratic house seats; and so much more in the defense of our democracy.
