Texas Republicans unveil congressional map that could gift them five seats

[Anonymous]

And now the president wants to break the law for the 2030 census to further consolidate white power.

Why gerryamander?


"'We stood aside so Trump could shutter vital agencies, take your healthcare, and spend every last dime scooping up immigrants to get Stephen Miller his 3,000 arrests a day' is not exactly a rallying cry that will turn out voters."

Democrat Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones just compared Texas redistricting to the Holocaust

"I will liken this to the Holocaust ... how did the Holocaust happen? ... well, good people remained silent."

Maybe not politik, but the broader point is correct.

He has some deep thoughts while he’s wandering around aimlessly on the roof.

In case anyone is curious, "Massachusetts and the Santa Claus" PP is a confirmed delusional moron who doesn't understand how Confessional districts and math work. But that's what you expect from a Republican: it's "rigged" if the overwhelming majority vote wins all the elections.

Exactly. The only blue states where you can credibly point out gerrymandering are MD and IL. Meanwhile MOST red states are heavily gerrymandered in Republicans favor.

These maps are based on the 2024 Trump vote that had lots of Latinos switching to republican for the first time. If that goes back even a little bit, they’ve just created a bunch of new D districts.

Anyone remember when Texans bragged about being independent populists who hated the corrupt corporate financial establishment as much as they hated the government? Texans used to root for the bank robbers. Now they submissively serve a corrupt racist New York real estate fraud who has turned the government into a fascist police state owned by billionaires.

Gov. Newsom calls on Trump to tell Republican states to call off redistricting efforts:

You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make. This attempt to rig congressional maps to hold onto power before a single vote is cast in the 2026 election is an affront to American democracy.

Gov. Newsom to Trump: "You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains."

"If you will not stand down, I will be forced to lead an effort to redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states."

Newsom may be a crap Governor, but I do love it when he messes with Trump's head. My secret hope is that one of these tweets will cause Trump to have a stroke.

It'd be absurd to count illegal aliens in the census. Trump just wants to make things right.

The recent tweets in all caps and the THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION sign offs are hilarious. Also the sign offs where Pritzker makes fun of him for cheating at golf are good.
