#HakeemJeffries on how #Democrats will respond to the #Texas #redistricting scheme: "We are going to respond & respond forcefully, however we also will operate within the constraints of the #VotingRightsAct which is not what the Texas Democrats (sic; he meant #Republicans) are doing. We need fair maps & one national standard.”

NY Gov #KathyHochul: “I'm tired of fighting this fight w/ my hand tied behind my back. …#politics is a political process.…we’re sick & tired of being pushed around when other #states don’t have the same aspirations that we always have had. I hold those dear. But I cannot ignore that the playing field has changed dramatically. Shame on us if we ignore that fact & cling tight to the vestiges of the past. That era is over. Donald #Trump eliminated that forever.”
