From NPR.org: Texas appeals ruling that Trump-urged voting map is racial gerrymandering

Californians approved redrawing 2026 congressional maps to counter Texas gerrymandering

In California the people decided the districts, they decide their representatives

In Texas, Missouri and North Carolina the legislatures gerrymandered who gets represented and who doesn't

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX: 

After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.

States cannot tariff each other.  Read the Constitution. Article 1, sections 9 and 10.

the US finally moved on Prince Group, connected to Huione Guarantee, the worldโ€™s largest dark-ish market for fraud, drugs, weapons, slaves, etc. that operated out of Cambodia.

thatโ€™s another $14 billion worth of stolen crypto that will now sit in the hands of the U.S. government in the โ€œstrategic bitcoin reserveโ€ instead of being repatriated to those who were defrauded.

one interesting detail i was surprised by was that Prince Group had a #NYC operation going. a detail i was not surprised by but didn't know about was that #Texas taxpayers have been subsidizing #pigbutchering fraud #moneylaundering.

โ€œWhen Trump is in office and not on the ballot, Democrats do really, really well.โ€

The 2026 campaign season is here and all eyes are on Donald Trump, Texas politics

Texas has been thrust in the national conversation, but statewide and local races are just as critical.

Four of Texasโ€™ leading Democrats, former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, State Rep. James Talarico, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro and Beto O'Rourke met last month to sort out which of them is the best choice to run for the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn and to potentially develop a slate that would contend for other statewide offices.

#TxPol

So Gov HotWheels called a 2nd special session of the #TxLege and a priority is a trans bathroom ban bill. (2nd Session TX SB-8) It intends to enforce it w/ a $5K fine per incident on the place letting a woman pee. But there's also the ability for a Texan to sue a place letting women (who don't meet that individual's standard of femininity) pee. So that incentivizes the "You Can Always Tell a Trans" crowd to start gender policing to get money.

Let me tell y'all something.
In Texas we're allowed to conceal carry without a permit AND we have a Stand Your Ground Law. So if some hillbilly here thinks he or she is gonna inspect my junk before I go pee, you'd better have made peace w/ your maker cuz one of us...

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave?

Honestly, I think livestream: dance on other legislatorsโ€™ desks. Mock w/parody lyrics from show-tunes, raid copier paper to stuff empty suits and print out opposition faces and put them in seats & act out humiliating legislative scenes.

Youโ€™re not locked in with them, their seats are locked in with you.

Soโ€ฆis governor abbott planning to assassinate Texas state legislators?

Next step after locking Nicole Collier in the capital, right?

Not even 1st state legislator in U.S. assassinated this year.

At what point does โ€œdonโ€™t mess with Texasโ€ flex its strength and stop abbott?
