Today, the Texas Senate is expected to consider the committee substitute for #SB6, the proposed map for Texas' 38 congressional districts, and several floor amendments.

We'll be live-tweeting on this 🧵 once it begins. Follow along: tlcsenate.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.ph…

Here's what #SB6, the proposed Congressional map (PLANC2116), currently looks like as voted out by the Senate #Redistricting Committee.

There were 12 pre-filed amendments for #SB6, the proposed TX Congressional map: dvr.capitol.texas.gov/Congress/44 #txlege #redistricting

A rundown of how much TX GOP's proposed map would shore up nine of their own incumbents who badly need it:

#TX02 Crenshaw: Trump +1 to Trump +23
#TX03 Taylor: Trump +1 to Trump +15
#TX06 Ellzey: Trump +3 to Trump +20
#TX10 McCaul: Trump +2 to Trump +20

Continued...

#TX21 Roy: Trump +3 to Trump +20
#TX22 Nehls: Trump +1 to Trump +15
#TX23 Gonzales: Trump +2 to Trump +7
#TX24 Van Duyne: Biden +5 to Trump +12
#TX31 Carter: Trump +3 to Trump +20

The reason I was mildly surprised: Republicans could have drawn #TX03, #TX22 & #TX24 to be even redder.

All three GOP seats moved 25+ pts left between 2012 and 2020, and as proposed they could easily be vulnerable again by the middle of the 2020s.

Texas Republicans' proposed congressional map is up and analyzed on the @FiveThirtyEight redistricting tracker: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…

@FiveThirtyEight The map shores up #TX07, #TX28, #TX32, and #TX34 for Dems and adds a new solid-blue #TX37 in Austin. In exchange, #TX02, #TX03, #TX06, #TX10, #TX21, #TX22, #TX23, #TX24, and #TX31 are made safer for their Republican incumbents.

Dem Rep. Vicente Gonzalez's #TX15 also becomes a bit redder, but still a tossup, under this map. I wonder if he moves over to the safe blue #TX34, whence Rep. Filemon Vela is retiring. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…

@Redistrict

Wow. This isn't even as aggressive a map as I expected from Texas Rs. It could plausibly be 24R-14D, w/ the chance Rs add seats in the Rio Grande Valley & Dems gain in DFW burbs over the course of the 2020s.

https://twitter.com/allymutnick/status/1442497118342508546

A few early highlights/impressions:
- a new Dem #TX37 in Austin
- a new GOP #TX38 in Houston (for Wesley Hunt?)
- no new Hispanic majority seat (lawsuit?)
- #TX15 Gonzalez (D) made redder
- #TX03 Taylor (R) & #TX24 Van Duyne (R) not shored up quite as much as I'd have expected

Another surprise: this GOP proposal doesn't shore up #TX21 Rep. Chip Roy (R) by nearly as much as it could have. He's still got a chunk of Travis Co.

The much bigger winners: #TX02 Crenshaw, #TX10 McCaul, #TX22 Nehls, #TX25 Williams, #TX31 Carter.

@grace_panetta

hello! While we're waiting for more presidential results, I thought I'd give you an update on the House. @DecisionDeskHQ projects that Republicans have won back 5 seats on net so far. Rs flipped 7 seats and Dems won back 2 thanks to redistricting in NC businessinsider.com/2020-house-ele…

Seats projected to flip D to R, per @DecisionDeskHQ

#IA01 ( Finkenauer)
#FL26 (Mucarsel-Powell)
#FL27 (Shalala)
#MN07 (Peterson)
#NM02 (Torres Small)
#OK05 ( Horn)
#SC01 (Cunningham)

Others to keep an eye on as more votes are counted: #CA21, #CA39, #NY11, #NY22, #UT04

Democrats have also fallen short on many of their offensive targets to flip R-held seats: their most promising pickup opportunity is #GA07, where @DecisionDesk HQ has not projected a winner and we should (hopefully!) get more clarity today as more votes are counted/reported

THE LONE STAR STATE IS PRO-LIFE!! ✰

With our partners WSO PAC & Pro-Life America PAC we went all in, spending $5M to hold the #ProLife majority in the Texas State House and WIN in key battleground congressional districts

The pro-abortion lobby has had their eyes on Texas for years, hoping to flip the legislature to redistrict U.S. congressional districts. #TxLeg

In each of the 23 state house races, we exposed pro-abortion Democrats whose extremism has been soundly rejected by pro-life Texans

2/

Our targeted campaign in Texas state house & U.S. house races included:

🗳️ 650k voters reached

🚶 110 pro-life canvassers

🏡 337k home visits to voters

📫 3.6M voter mail pieces

@chiproytx

As Americans, we are bound together by an idea larger than political discourse. We are bound by a shared belief in the greatness of Texas and our nation, and the centrality of both freedom and the rule of law to our prosperity as a people. #TX21 #StandUpForAmerica

On #ElectionNight, Texans in the Hill Country demonstrated our collective resolve to preserve these important ideals for ourselves and our children and grandchildren, so that they may inherit a stronger, safer, and freer country. #TX21

I am honored to represent the great people, businesses, and communities of the 21st Congressional District in Texas - and I appreciate the faith those people have placed in me to continue to represent them. #TX21

@wendydavis

Since #COVID19 began wreaking havoc on our state, my opponent @chiproytx has pushed dangerous and extreme views about the virus. He downplayed the crisis, pushed for reopening without safeguards and ignored the advice of health experts. I'm calling him out.

@chiproytx Congressman @chiproytx even voted against relief for Texans impacted by the virus. Don’t take my word for it — below are the worst examples of his dangerous and misleading views, straight from him.

@chiproytx .@chiproytx opposed @GovAbbott’s lockdown orders, suggesting people ignore those orders & calling for the state to reopen — long before public health experts said it was advisable.

@Redistrict

New at @CookPolitical: House rating changes in 20 districts, all towards Democrats. I can’t recall the last time we moved so many races at once, let alone in the same direction.

More @CookPolitical: for the first time this cycle, Democrats have at least as good a chance of picking up House seats as Republicans on a net basis. cookpolitical.com/analysis/house…

@SusanSchorn

As promised, here’s a thread on #PipelineChip, aka @chiproytx aka @Repchiproy, the stinkeroo of a GOP Congressman currently soiling the carpets in #TX21 (and being vigorously challenged by @wendydavis). This will be long so, as Chip would say, saddle up!

NB: I’m not accusing Chip of anything illegal here. All kinds of corrupt behavior, on both sides of the border, are perfectly legal. Certainly Chip isn’t doing much that @sentedcruz isn’t also doing. Chip is just noisier.

Chip IS guilty of shameless hypocrisy, in his fetishization of cartel violence & his lip service to values like property rights. He has enabled cartels at the highest levels—& jeopardized the life, health and safety of many people —for his personal enrichment & political power.

I’m a South Austinite since 1985, been eating at @kerbeylanecafe since I got here, and I have NEVER seen them do something this short-sighted and thoughtless to their customers:

That’s Kerbey Lane’s CEO Mason Ayer, giving a warm and obsequious shout-out to Chip Roy, the GOP trainwreck of a Congressman who has united Austin's TX-21 residents in a two-year effort to remove him from office.

A quick refresher on Chip’s legislative record: he blocked federal disaster aid for the sake of a photo op, voted against the Violence Against Women Act, ranted that big pharma CEOs should “make a lot more money,” and spreads Russian disinformation. whoischiproy.com

A note about last night’s town hall in San Antonio. It was a great event, hosted by a great Pastor who opened up his church, filled with great Texans, but was briefly interrupted by a few loud voices who do not represent #Tx21 in the slightest. (1/x)

It was interrupted allegedly on the basis of my statement(s) on Israel. But that was just an excuse, because it was then continuously & purposefully interrupted on all topics raised… Border Security, Guns, and more. This is not new. And it is expected. (2/x)

For all who stayed the duration, we had a great talk about healthcare, guns, border security, spending, natl security, & myriad topics of interest to central Texans. There was agreement & disagreement, but minus the handful of antagonists, it was productive. (3/x)
