Earlier this week, Texas Democrats courageously fled their home state to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab, prompting Trump to send the FBI to hunt them down and force them back so Republicans can ram through their agenda, wasting federal law enforcement resources to round up his political opponents. Meanwhile, Trump has also ordered the Commerce Department to conduct a new census in another desperate attempt to rig electoral maps because his devastating cuts to health care and food assistance, combined with his price-hiking tariffs, have made him so toxic with voters that he can’t win fair elections.
Polling shows that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of Trump’s signature policies, including tariffs and his Big, Ugly Bill, and his job approval rating is down 7 percent since April. Republicans know they will lose if they run on a level playing field, and are only forcing through this mid-decade redistricting because their toxic agenda is such a disaster.
Just look at the numbers on how much the American people despise Trump’s agenda:
