Comparison of CD-35 current shape and proposed shape under Texas mid-decade redistricting shows the district being re-seated in San Antonio and changing into a Trump+11 district, becoming an automatic GOP pickup.
A map of proposed and current Congressional shapes for CD-35. The district is effectively deleted and rebuilt. Austin is cut out, a much larger San Antonio–Hill Country seat is added, and the district flips from a safe Democratic D+34 to a Republican R+11, an automatic GOP pickup engineered by the redraw.
Horizontal bar chart showing estimated costs to fund a 90-day quorum break in Texas. Fines are $2.3MM, legal support $720K, lodging $689K, security $450K, and travel $31K. Fines dominate the total. Other costs are modest by comparison.
A map of Texas showing congressional districts shaded in pink (Republican) and blue (Democratic). On either side of the map, callout cards highlight 12 Democratic incumbents in safe seats, showing their names, districts, residences, cash on hand, and how much they’d need to contribute toward a collective fund. A small legend at the bottom labels the color key: Democratic (blue), Republican (pink).
A protest sign reads "Know Your Rights" in bold, white letters against a red background, held up in a crowd of demonstrators. The atmosphere is energetic and resolute.
Feel what you feel, don’t let them rob you of your joy, take an action today.
