Missouri House Advances Gerrymandered Map for Trump

The Missouri State House Republicans adopted a map, Gerrymandered for the benefit of the Republicans, during a vote of 90 to 65 years, advancing the national attempt by President Trump to put pressure on the legislatures of the Republican States across the country to force the seats of the Chamber which generally went to the Democrats in their states to turn around.

The new card – that Missouri’s Republican Governor Mike Kehoe labeled a “Missouri First” card when he unveiled it only 12 days ago – was sent to the state Senate on Tuesday, where he should spend the upper room of the state. As I mentioned in yesterday’s edition of Where Things, the Gerrymandered card cuts the congress district around Kansas City and redraws the lines to include more rural parts of the state where residents generally vote.

This is part of Trump’s efforts to fake mid-term elections in his favor by eliminating democratic seats in the House, where the Republicans currently have a very small majority. His pressure campaign succeeded in Texas, where the Republicans of the State legislature were able to redesign the cards that will overthrow five democratic seats in the American chamber with the Republicans. He pushes the Republicans in Indiana to, essentially, get rid of any democratic representation of the State in the American Chamber. In Missouri, the Gerrymandering of the Republicans would overthrow one of the two seats held by the Democrats there.

The representative of the Democratic State Ashley Aune, the head of the minority of the State Chamber, called her colleagues to their submission to Trump just before the final vote on Tuesday.

“The Missouri GOP helps and encourages the systematic destruction of our democracy by an authoritarian regime led by a geriatric crook who knows that the only way to win is to cheat,” said Enne.

Not all the Republicans of the State House were not on board the change either. By democracy file:

The card has no unanimous support from the Missouri House Republicans. House president Jon Patterson (R) voted against the card during the preliminary vote on Monday – a decision that the Democrats of the county of Jackson called Cowardly.

“As president of the Chamber, the representative of the Lee summit, Patterson, had the power to stop these bills before they reach the soil. Instead, he chose to make politics – throwing a” no “voting without meaning after allowing the two bills to move forward. It is not leadership. It is cowardly,” the group said in a press release.

Meanwhile at Nebraska

Well, Washington, DC, rather …

There are reasons to believe that the republican members of the legislative assembly of the state of Nebraska go to Washington, DC this week to potentially speak to them of redrawing certain lines of the congress district in order to make more difficult for a democrat to win the district of Swing around Omaha (which is currently detained by the retirement-rep.

According to the Nebraska examiner:

While the Republicans have all the seats of the Nebraska congress, political experts consider the race of the 2nd district now free as a possible collection for the Democrats in 2026.

After the most recent census, when the majority led by the GOP in the officially non -partisan legislature of the Nebraska redesigned the cards of the Congress of the State, he did so in a manner which strengthened the 2nd district by exchanging certain democratic residents of the County Sarpy of Sarpyue with more reliable republican residents of the County of Rural Saunders. The changes have helped maintain the slight republican of the Swing District.

At least four Republican legislators from the Nebraska State have gone to DC today for a “conference on state leadership”, organized by the Board of Intergovernmental Affairs of the White House, the Nebraska reported. Iowa legislators would also be there, another state that Trump would have considered his redistribution in the middle of the cycle. The elements on the agenda include the hearing “first -hand how President Trump implements America’s agenda” and how “to advance it at the level of the state and local”, reported the examiner.

Axios also reported on this potential redistribution meeting last week.

Trump takes credit for Biden infrastructure invoice projects

After the infrastructure bill adopted the Congress and President Biden signed it in 2021, TPM followed some of the ways in which the Republican members of the Congress, years later, tried to take the credit of the bill against which they voted.

Now, according to a new New York Times report, Trump does the same:

In the south of Connecticut, the federal government replaces an 118 -year -old bridge along the most popular American railway corridor. The $ 1.3 billion project was largely funded by the 2021 infrastructure law which was defended by the president of the time, Joseph R. Biden Jr. – and extremely opposed by Donald J. Trump.

These days, however, motorists sailing by the construction site could be forgiven to think that a certain famous New York developer was responsible for all of this.

“President Donald J. Trump,” said a road sign. “Reconstructing American infrastructure.”
