NEW from me @TheSpectator:

I’m at today’s long awaited @tiktok_us hearing, where the Communist spyware CEO is going to gaslight America

He’s now on on Cap Hill with a Socialist Congressman and a Biden-tied Mao lover's firm in his pockets

TikTok’s CEO is gearing up for a grilling in Congress, but he’s got some new, powerful allies in his corner: a political consulting firm whose founder lavished praise on Mao Zedong and is now one of Biden’s top aides — and a socialist congressman who thespectator.com/topic/tiktok-f…twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Shou Zi Chew, the company’s CEO, is at @HouseCommerce, where Republicans are planning to press him on the national security concerns posed by the video app’s parent company ByteDance’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

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…
#txlege #redistricting
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-…

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.
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.

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

Asian Americans being unapologetically Asian American in America is my favorite mode in the face of all the xenophobia and anti-Asian sentiment of 2020.

We mobilize. We vote. We say fuck you in ways our parents could not when faced with hate. #AAPI
18 to 29-year-old #AAPI voters cast 84,000 early votes in 2016.

So far this year, young Asian American voters have cast 330,000 early ballots. An almost 400% increase! 🙌🏼

Let’s keep it up. Text a friend!

“...polls show that Indian Americans are turning decisively to the left, alienated by the @GOP’s divisive rhetoric toward immigrants and minority groups.

72% of registered Indian American voters plan to support Biden, compared with 22% for Trump.” #AAPI

Sri Preston Kulkarni is actually the nephew of the late Pramod Mahajan, a top RSS-BJP leader who organized the "Ram Rath Yatra" in 1990s that left hundreds of Muslims dead. His cousin is Pramod's daughter, current BJP MP @poonam_mahajan.
Why not give Kulkarni "a break"?

1) He's running for Congress. He wants political power. When do you ever give people seeking political power "a break"? Isn't the duty of journalists to hold the powerful accountable and ask deeply uncomfortable questions?
2) He's a seasoned diplomat whose next posting, until he resigned, was going to be in New Delhi. Combined with his family ties to high-level BJP politicians, there is no rational explanation for his supposed ignorance of the political significance of the RSS.

@MuqtedarKhan is surprised that "some Indian Muslim leaders are more interested in [Sri Preston Kulkarni's] alleged links to Hindu nationalism" than in electing a Democrat — even an #RSS-backed one.

Perhaps it's because RSS massacres Muslims in India?

thewire.in/world/hindutva…
@MuqtedarKhan, I recommend you spend more time studying the #RSS, what it has done already to Indian Muslims and what it plans for them in future, as well as how Hindu nationalism is a kissing cousin of white nationalism and concern for one requires equal concern for the other.
Yet again, @MuqtedarKhan’s journalism is lacking.

“Kulkarni has been accused of being close to Hindu nationalists,” he writes. Okay? Close HOW? Your article lacks the slightest detail. Funding? Associations? What? Are the details of the “closeness” unimportant to a journalist?

Its been 51 days since @SheriffTNehls has made a public appearance and he has refused to commit to a single debate. Today we are announcing that we have agreed to 4 debates, and call on Nehls to do the same. He can't stay in hiding forever. sri2020.com/debates/
Facing an economic and public health crisis, this is the most important election of our lifetime. We can't afford to let candidates remain in hiding. The voters deserve to hear from @SheriffTNehls.
Voters deserve explanations from @SheriffTNehls. He needs to explain why he politicized COVID and failed to protect his own employees from getting infected. He needs to explain why voters should promote someone who was fired from being a cop because of incompetence.

NEW this morning from me and @Journo_Christal - how coronavirus and multiple national crises have complicated the battle for the House.

usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Just a few months ago, Republicans thought they might have a chance - but now the coronavirus and a reckoning over race and policing have changed everything.
Republicans are banking on candidates like @RichforGA, an ER doctor splitting his time between intubating patients as his hospital risks COVID-19 exposure and making his pitch to voters in #GA07, in the suburbs of Atlanta.

Debilidades:
∙ Apoyo entre negros
∙ Apoyo entre blancos de suburbs (ricos)
