Texas Republicans are heading into an all-out civil war.

Friend,

Texas Republicans are heading into an all-out civil war.

After Donald Trump endorsed Ken Paxton over John Cornyn, what was already shaping up to be a brutal GOP primary suddenly became something bigger: a fight over the future of the Republican Party itself — and Democrats think the chaos could finally create a real opening in Texas for the first time in decades.

That’s what Democratic strategist and Way to Win co-founder Tory Gavito joined me to talk about on the latest episode of Gloves Off.

Watch the episode

We break down the Supreme Court’s devastating Louisiana redistricting decision, the coordinated effort to dismantle the Voting Rights Act, and why this moment didn’t come out of nowhere. Alanah explains how the ruling is already triggering new racial gerrymandering fights across the South — and how the attacks on Black political representation are tied directly to broader attacks on reproductive rights, immigration rights, and democracy itself.

We also dig into the history of Reconstruction, the long conservative legal project behind these decisions, and what it will actually take to fight back.
