In this episode I dig into how Trump’s push to redraw Texas’s congressional map has exposed one of the most aggressive power plays in recent political history. Working hand in hand with Texas Republicans, the plan aims to lock in more GOP seats before voters ever cast a ballot in 2026. I follow the fight from the statehouse to the national stage — walkouts, lawsuits, threats of arrest — and examine the high-stakes game of political retaliation now brewing in other states. It’s a case study in how the rules of democracy can be bent, broken, and rewritten in real time.
