Democrats retaliate against GOP redistricting: 'We've got to break some glass' - The 11th Hour - MSNBC



In a huge win for Donald Trump, Texas lawmakers approved a congressional map that adds five new Republican districts. And California Governor Gavin Newsom responded by pushing legislation to allow his state to offset the added seats. Laura Barrón-López, Allan Smith, Tim O’Brien and Basil Smikle join Jacob Soboroff for the 11th Hour Nightcap. - Aired on 08/20/2025.

I really believe such a unified act of defiance would galvanize Democratic and Independent voters to fight at the polls against Trump's Fascism. If we show that what's good for the goose is even better sauce for the Democrats, we may be able to get the bastards on the run.

Let's not call this a win. How about illegal power grab, or successful illegal maneuver, or...? The word "win" is too positive.
