Democrats are searching for a leader to take on President Trump. Gov. Gavin Newsom embraced that role with new online trolling and a proposed gerrymander to counter a GOP power play in Texas.

Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett will no longer run for reelection to his seat if Republicans' redrawn House map isn't shot down in court.

Rep. Nicole Collier is one of dozens of Democrats who fled Texas earlier this month to block a vote on a Trump-backed redistricting plan.

State Rep. Nicole Collier said she will remain locked in the Austin statehouse chamber, now outfitted with a mattress and snacks, until the House reconvenes Wednesday morning.

The gang looks at what’s next in the extra-special session, as Republicans prepare to finally pass a new congressional map.

Several Texas state House Democrats ripped up the written agreements that allowed them to leave the chamber with a police escort and returned to the House floor Tuesday night, the caucus announced.
