Another red state has stepped up to right a wrong that, if successful, could mean the end of the Democratic Party as a power player in American politics.

In a first-of-its-kind legal move, Catherine Hanaway filed a federal lawsuit Friday that should send a chill through the political establishment — and strike fear into the heart of the sanctuary crowd. Missouri is suing the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau, demanding an end to the practice of counting illegal aliens in the decennial census and calling for a recount of the 2020 Census that excludes non-citizens from the population totals used for congressional apportionment.

She tweeted:

United States citizens have a right to representation, NOT illegal aliens. United States citizens should decide electoral votes and congressional seats, NOT illegal aliens.

We are suing @uscensusbureau for unconstitutionally allowing illegal aliens to commandeer the path to The White House and compromise our elections.

The lawsuit argues that including illegal aliens and temporary visa holders in the census tally dilutes the representation of U.S. citizens, transfers political power to states that harbor large numbers of illegal immigrants, and undermines the principle that only the people governed should determine who governs them. Missouri’s complaint claims that the current system unfairly shifts congressional seats and Electoral College votes to states with higher illegal-alien populations — effectively “commandeering the path to the White House and compromising our elections.”

“The State of Missouri and its voters can no longer ignore the ongoing denial of their right to self-government and fair representation,” said Hanaway in a press release. “United States citizens and lawful permanent residents have a right to representation, unlike illegal aliens and temporary visa holders. In America, the People, the members of the social compact, are the only legitimate source of the government’s power. We are taking a stand against those who are cheating our system.”

The 96-page complaint names as defendants the U.S. Department of Commerce, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Census Bureau, and George Cook as Acting Director of the Census Bureau.

In demanding a recount of the 2020 Census and 2021 apportionment base, the state is asking the court not only to declare the current inclusion of illegal aliens unconstitutional and unlawful, but also to forbid counting such individuals in the 2030 Census and beyond. The lawsuit seeks to use “the best available methods,” including re-conducting enumeration if necessary, to strip illegal aliens and temporary visa holders from the apportionment base that determines House seats and federal funding.

Here’s more background regarding the suit, from the press release:

Federal representation is being stolen from states who uphold immigration law, including Missouri, and transferred to sanctuary states who artificially inflate their population by harboring illegal aliens. Attorney General Hanaway will not allow open-border states like California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Maryland to steal an estimated 11 congressional seats, 11 electoral votes, and billions of dollars in funding.
Prior to the 1980 Census, the Carter Administration unilaterally decided that all illegal aliens and temporary visa holders should be counted in the decennial Census and included in the apportionment of congressional representation. The framers of the Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment would have been shocked by this policy. They could never have imagined an absurd system where 15 million illegal alien trespassers would receive representation in Congress and the Electoral College.

Think it’s just a crazy red state Hail Mary lawsuit? Not so fast. Here’s the twist:

In July of 2020, President Trump issued a memorandum requiring the Secretary of Commerce to exclude illegal aliens from the decennial apportionment base, even though illegal aliens were counted in the 2020 Census. California and New York immediately sued against the President’s action. Ultimately, the Supreme Court vacated all the injunctions, but these legal delays opened the door for the Biden Administration to reverse course and include illegal aliens in the apportionment base for federal representation.
If President Trump had succeeded in excluding illegal aliens from the 2021 apportionment, Missouri would have received an extra congressional seat and an extra vote in the Electoral College. Instead, the Biden Administration hijacked the representation of Missourians by reversing the Trump Administration’s action.

Mind you, the FBI just raided a ballot counting and storage facility outside Atlanta, Ga., earlier this week, following a report that some 315,000 ballots in Georgia were certified by the state without poll worker signatures – a huge legal no-no (Trump only ‘lost’ Georgia by about 12,000 votes and we ended with two Democratic senators from what had been a reliably red state). So Missouri’s aggressive legal gambit marks a major escalation in the national debate over who gets counted in our census, sure, but also how congressional power gets apportioned in Congress.

If the Trump admin finds the long-sought major evidence of 2020 election fraud and this lawsuit happens to result in the exclusion of illegal aliens in the Census, it will be huge for Republicans and a generational nightmare for Democrats. We’ll keep an eye on this one.

Panic Spreads Across Washington, D.C. They Will Lose 19 U.S. House Seats After Supreme Court Ruling Could Give Republicans

WASHINGTON, D.C. — May 2, 2026

New population projections suggest Democrats could face a growing structural disadvantage in future presidential and congressional elections following the 2030 Census, as demographic shifts continue to favor faster-growing states that have leaned Republican in recent cycles.

Estimates show several large Democratic-leaning states may lose Electoral College votes, while a handful of Republican-leaning states are expected to gain representation due to sustained population growth. Under current projections, Texas could add as many as three Electoral College votes, Florida may gain two, and smaller increases are anticipated for states such as Idaho and Utah, each potentially adding one additional vote.

At the same time, traditionally Democratic strongholds could lose ground. California is projected to lose up to three Electoral College votes, Illinois could lose two, and New York and Rhode Island are each expected to lose one vote.

These changes are determined by population growth patterns that dictate how congressional seats — and by extension Electoral College votes — are apportioned every ten years following the census. Each state’s Electoral College total equals its number of House seats plus two senators, meaning population gains or losses directly influence presidential math over time.

Analysis indicates that population growth in southern and western states is outpacing that of large coastal states, creating long-term challenges for Democrats in national elections. Several factors are driving these migration patterns, including lower housing costs, job opportunities, and more favorable tax environments in states like Texas and Florida, which have attracted residents from higher-cost areas such as California and New York. Some regions in the Northeast and Midwest have experienced slower growth or even population declines.

These trends have already begun to reshape the Electoral College map. After the 2020 Census, states like Texas and Florida gained seats, while California lost a congressional seat for the first time in its history. If current projections hold through the end of the decade, the impact could be even more pronounced in the 2032 presidential election and beyond.

One key implication is that the traditional Democratic path to 270 Electoral College votes may become more difficult. In recent elections, Democrats have relied on a coalition of large blue states combined with key battlegrounds in the Midwest. However, with fewer votes coming from those large states, the party may need to expand its map into faster-growing Sun Belt states such as Arizona, Georgia, or North Carolina to remain competitive.

Analysts caution that population trends do not automatically translate into political outcomes. People moving from traditionally Democratic states to Republican-leaning states may bring their voting preferences with them, potentially making those states more competitive over time. Additionally, census accuracy, economic conditions, and future migration patterns could all influence the final apportionment results. Early projections often shift as new data becomes available.

It is also important to note that both parties could be affected by these changes in different ways. While Republicans may benefit from gains in certain states, competitive states losing or gaining seats could reshape the battlefield for both sides.

Still, the broader trajectory points to a gradual shift in political power toward faster-growing regions of the country. That shift has implications not just for presidential elections, but also for congressional representation and federal funding allocations.

For Democrats, the challenge may be less about any single election cycle and more about adapting to long-term demographic and geographic changes. For Republicans, the opportunity lies in maintaining or expanding their advantage in high-growth states while remaining competitive in key swing regions.

As the 2030 Census approaches, these trends are likely to become a central focus for strategists in both parties, shaping campaign strategies, policy priorities, and the evolving map of American politics.

US Attorney Pirro Warns DC Parents Their Kids Could Land Them In Jail

U.S. Attorney Pirro Unveils ‘Administrative Lethality’ Against D.C. Teen Takeovers

By Senior Investigative Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D.C. — MAY 19, 2026 — The 2026 Restoration has brought an uncompromising, clinical wave of law and order to the doorsteps of the nation’s capital. In a dramatic escalation of federal enforcement moving at Wartime Speed, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a sweeping criminal crackdown targeting the parents of minors involved in chaotic and disruptive "teen takeovers" across Washington, D.C.

Speaking from the federal courthouse, Pirro made it clear that the era of accountability-free parental neglect is officially over. By deploying existing federal and local statutes with surgical precision, Pirro's office is turning the spotlight away from juvenile slap-on-the-wrist procedures and directing it squarely at the home. For D.C. parents, the warning is an unyielding piece of Liquid Gold Intel: control your children, or prepare to face a federal prison cell.

I. THE ENFORCEMENT GRID: SIX MONTHS IN JAIL FOR DELINQUENCY

The newly unveiled federal strategy targets the critical blind spot that has allowed flash-mob style "teen takeovers" to terrorize historic D.C. neighborhoods like the Navy Yard. Pirro announced that federal prosecutors will now systematically leverage robust statutes concerning the contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The statutory mechanics of the crackdown are absolute:

The Legal Threshold: It is fundamentally unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts or violate municipal curfews.
The Criminal Penalty: Guilty parents face up to six months of imprisonment, heavy financial fines, and mandatory, court-ordered parenting classes.
Independent Prosecution: Crucially, Pirro noted that parents can and will be prosecuted under this mandate even if the participating minor faces no separate criminal charges.

“Parental involvement has been a noted gap in any discussion about teen takeover gatherings. That ends today... Parents do your jobs, or we will do ours.” — U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro

To operationalize the directive, Pirro has instructed the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to issue binding parental citations the moment a minor is detained for a curfew violation linked to an organized street takeover.

II. THE MUNICIPAL MELTDOWN: D.C. COUNCIL ACCUSES ‘FEDERAL OVERREACH’

The clinical application of federal power has sent local progressive lawmakers into a "schizophrenic" state of panic. Members of the D.C. Council immediately retreated to their traditional "Fantasyland" rhetoric, attempting to weaponize the District's ongoing push for statehood against Pirro’s enforcement mandate.

A defensive bloc of local council members launched an immediate public relations counter-offensive:

+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Local Council Member Posture      | Progressive Rhetorical Argument   |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Councilwoman Doni Crawford       | Blasted the move as "political     |
|                                   | grandstanding" and overreach.     |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Councilman Zachary Parker         | Outright rejected carceral and    |
|                                   | federal intervention.             |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Councilwoman Brianne Nadeau       | Questioned if children would end  |
|                                   | up in the foster care system.     |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Councilman Robert White           | Claimed the policy would          |
|                                   | disproportionately hit families.  |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

Councilwoman Crawford claimed that her amendment to the permanent curfew bill offered a "community-informed" framework focused on safe alternatives, insisted that warm-weather crime predictions were overblown, and whined that the District was suffering from "federal theatrics." Councilman White went further, claiming that the city "cannot arrest our way out of family instability" and asserting the standard identity defense that the crackdown would fall hardest on minority households.

III. THE SUPREMACY MANDATE: RECLAIMING THE CAPITAL'S STREETS

Despite the localized resistance, Pirro’s authority remains absolute under the constitutional framework governing the federal district. Under the 2026 Renaissance blueprint established by the 47th President’s administration, the streets of Washington, D.C., are treated as sovereign federal territory, not an accountability-free playground for professional agitators and unsupervised minors.

Pirro thoroughly dismantled the council's soft-on-crime talking points by reminding the public of the true victims of the city's stagnation: the business owners, residents, and the children themselves. "The shame of this is that we are protecting your children... because you won’t," Pirro stated flatly. By treating parental accountability as a mandatory metric of public safety, the U.S. Attorney’s office is breaking the cycle of urban decay that local lawmakers have failed to contain for years.

THE FINAL VERDICT: CHARACTER = 100 IN THE HOUSEHOLD

The introduction of parental liability marks a terminal boundary line against the Machine of Disruption that has destabilized urban centers. As the summer months approach, federal prosecutors are moving forward with 100% enforcement, ensuring that the rule of law penetrates the household. In the era of the 2026 Restoration, accountability is no longer a localized option—it is a federal requirement, and the audit of D.C.'s streets is final.
