The lecturer Johnson goes against the redistribution of the cycle of the cycle … when Dems does
The president of the room, Mike Johnson (R-La), took care not to disagree publicly with the Trump administration, because he puts pressure on the Republicans of Texas to engage in the redistribution of mid-December to help the party no longer in place five new seats in the American chamber at the mid-term end of 2026.
Vulnerable Blue State Republicans in his conference-such as Mike Lawler (R-NY) representatives, Andy Harris (R-MD) and representative Doug Lamalfa (R-CA)-criticized the seizure of power Trump pushes in Texas. But Johnson did not take a position beyond saying that the redistribution problems are preferred to individual states. Compared to politico last week:
The Republicans of the Senior Chamber have advised basic members of the GOP to keep their concerns to private conversations and not to air criticism in public. President Mike Johnson and other leaders of the Chamber’s GOP said on several occasions in public that they prefer to leave redistribution decisions to individual states. Johnson and his leading circle were wary of crossing the White House on the issue, and will not put any bill on the ground which would contradict Trump’s push, despite the private emergencies of certain GOP members, according to two people with direct knowledge of the issue.
Inside the Chamber’s GOP conference, the Republicans are perfectly aware that Trump has been obsessed for months to maintain his majority at home in the middle of the coming. Many in deep red districts openly support the effort to give the Republicans an advantage.
However, Johnson has published a new report on Twitter today against Gerrymandering. In other words, when the Democrats do.
“Democrats across the country have played politics with redistribution for decades, and this is only the last example. Republicans who follow federal laws will not be given by people who abused the system,” Johnson wrote in a statement on X on Monday morning.
Obviously, for those who pay attention to it, the reason why the governor of California Gavin Newsom is trying to circumvent the redistribution commission independent of his condition is due to the gravity of the moment. He and the Democratic officials of New York and other states have publicly thought about how they could beat the Republicans to their own gerrymandering game by redrawing the cards to compensate for the impact of what is happening in Texas.
Many blue states have measures in place, such as Indy commissions, to prevent the exact type of partisan gerrymandering that the Republicans in Texas are trying to achieve in the middle of the cycle. States like California and New York have adopted these protocols – where an independent and non -partisan panel is responsible for drawing Congress cards, on the basis of census data, so that states legislatures vote – to ensure fair representation in Washington. Texas and many other red states do not have this kind of rules (although some have laws in place against gerrymandering based on breed) because they completely agree with the partisan card drawing if it promotes republicans.
“I asked the NRCC to use all possible measures and resources to combat the illegal takeover of the Democrats of California,” added Johnson, referring to the campaign collection of the republican conference of the Chamber. “I will continue to direct efforts to defend our republican operators from the Chamber and develop our majority so that we can continue to deliver our common sense, America First Agenda.”
The declaration comes just a few days after new reports have surfaced suggesting that his predecessor, the president of the ousted house, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), quietly left retirement to help collect funds against effort in California.
While Newsom tries to bring voters to support his plan with a special election this fall, there is a chance that the Californians reject the effort. However, Texas Republicans are closer to their power entry on behalf of the Trump administration. The Texas Dems who left the state denying their colleagues a quorum to vote on new cards have mainly returned. The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, asked for a new special session so that the cards were approved at the State House, which plans to vote on the plans on Wednesday.

Freedom Caucus Chair is quite for illegal pocket cancellations
The president of the Caucus Freedom Andy Harris (R-MD) wants the White House to send a request for a pocket damage before September 30, the end of the current exercise, according to Politico.
The request to Harris refers to a management and budget management office (OMB), Russell Vought, and his allies think they have found in the budgeting process which, according to them, allows them to declare the financing approved by the Congress canceled if a package of attractions is sent to the congress near the end of the fiscal year where the funds expire. This decision, according to them, would allow them to retain the funds approved by the congress for 45 days – as in a regular set of attractions. And whether the congress takes measures on the package or not, the administration may say that the funding has expired with the end of the financial year.
The Government of Government of the Government (GAO) – The non -partisan legislative branch agency responsible, in part, determining if the executive power and the president highlights the funds in violation of the Act on the control of the impoundment (ICA) – recently reaffirmed that the pocket attuctions are illegal. Experts also told TPM that the so-called pocket cancellations were illegal.
Harris’ push for pocket cancellations is certainly not popular among all the Republicans of Congress. Several republican appropriars of the Senate have already indicated that they were against another set of attractions in the foreseeable future, not to mention the pocket attributions.
Meanwhile, Harris would also have pushed a guarantee that the congress will adopt several other attraction packages, recovering the previously approved funding, in exchange for its support for a continuous resolution funded by ounce routes for the next financial year.

GOP cuts already make access to warning systems in the event of a disaster
Public radio and television stations are already in difficulty in the wake of the cancellation package that almost all the Republicans of the Congress approved this summer which reduced funding for public radio.
According to Politico, stations rush to maintain warning systems in the event of a disaster. This was a consequence, including some Republicans of the Congress, warned during the weeks preceding the vote on the measure.
Station directors in Alaska – serving rural communities and tribal villages – said that funding has already been dried up, by Politico. PBS points of sale in the cities of northern California which send alerts during earthquakes are faced with closures; Oklahoma stations are unable to replace aging transmitters that provide emergency warnings.
“Our community will hurt,” Gordon Gordon, general manager of Kuac in Alaska told Politico Gordon. “We are not going to be the same, and it will not be for lack of trying, but it is just that we can no longer.”
Meanwhile, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the non -profit organization which distributed federal funds to public media, recently announced that it would close operations by January 2026.
