Texas Democrats are obscured by law enforcement to stop them from repeating protests re-promoting the congressional area – American Politics Live | American Politics

Good morning, welcome American politics Real-time blog. My name is Matthew Pearce I will bring you all the latest news in the next few hours.

Let’s start with the news Texas Democrats ending the strike find themselves covered up by law enforcement to prevent them from repeating protest This has led Republicans to work hard to remake the congressional district and fulfill President Donald Trump’s desire to reshape the U.S. housing map.

Republicans in the Texas House forced return Democrats to sign what the Democrats called a “licensing form”, agreeing that state Department of Public Safety officials thoroughly monitor to leave the floor. But Rep. Nicole Collier, a Democrat in Fort Worth, refused and stayed in the House Monday night.

Democrats return to Texas to place Republican-led legislature in response to Trump’s demands, possibly later this week because California Democrats New congressional boundaries have been raised in retaliation.

Members posted officers outside the Capitol office, and suburban Dallas Rep. Mihaela Plesa said she spent much of her office couch most of Monday night driving back to her apartment in Austin on Monday night. He had lunch with her and even rested in the hallway with her, she said.

“To be honest, we kind of laughed, but it’s really serious,” Presa said in a phone interview with the Associated Press. “It’s a waste of taxpayer money and a real performance theater.”

Collier, who represents a majority of minorities, said she would not “sign up my dignity” but would rather let Republicans “control my movements and monitor me.”

“I know these maps will harm my voters,” she said in a statement. “I will not only walk quietly because of their intimidation or discrimination.”

Tit For-Tat puts the country’s two most populous states at the center of congressional control ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The fight has strife and frustrated among party voters since Republicans took complete control of the federal government in January, rallying Democrats across the country.
