The conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court
has cleared the way for Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map in next yearโs midterm elections
that a lower court found racially discriminatory.
The 6-3 ruling is another political win for Donald Trump and his allies,
who have gotten a number of favorable rulings from the justices after being stymied by lower courts.
Trump has asked Republican-led states to redraw their maps
in order to preservโฆ

It's crazy how some of these gerrymandered districts look.

The Supreme Court, in a Thursday evening order, put on hold a lower court ruling that blocked Texasโ aggressive gerrymander,
a maneuver the state legislature carried out on orders from the Trump administration and the president himself,
hoping to preserve Republicansโ majority in the U.S. House in 2026.
In a brief order, the Court argued, among other things, that the District Court had intervened to block the maps too close to next yearโs midterm election.

Mike Schultz, the same weirdo from Hooper, Utah who thought he should have a say in my Millcreek representative choice by creating and funding a PAC that tried to trans scare people out of voting for the progressive candidate.
Thankfully, my neighbors and I like trans people and voted for a candidate that does, too.
Now, it appears Mike is using public funds to attack a judge who is following the law and upholding the power of the people, from whom the legislature gets its powerโฆ

New maps that added
five Republican districts in Texas
hit a legal roadblock on Tuesday,
with a federal judge saying
the state cannot use the 2025 maps
because they are probably โracially gerrymanderedโ.
The decision is likely to be appealed,
given the push for more Republican-friendly congressional maps nationwide
and Donald Trumpโs full-court press on his party to make them.
A panel of three federal judges in Texas said in a decision tโฆ

Republicans are hanging on to their majority in the House by a thread.
Marjorie Taylor Greeneโs abrupt resignation means that a reliable red House seat will remain unfilled for months.
However, it is what is happening in a special House election in Tennessee that should be terrifying Republicans.
Tennesseeโs Seventh US House district is not a race that, in a normal year, anyone would consider to be ripe for flipping.
Republicans have heavily gerrymandered the distriโฆ

It would be pretty funny if a D-tilted environment
coupled with trying to dilute D votes by gerrymandering them into heavily red districts
resulted in a much bigger blowout than if they hadnโt gerrymandered
