Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a new congressional voting map designed to help Republicans gain more seats in the 2026 midterm elections, delivering a win for President Donald Trump and his desire to hold onto a slim GOP majority in the U.S. House. https://to.pbs.org/4lUByNs

Alternate headline: Texas Republicans Pass Unprecedented Mid-Decade Gerrymander to Further Disenfranchise Minority Voters in Push for Further Authoritarian Rule by Unpopular Trump Administration Or you could keep reporting on "wins" and "losses," I guess.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law an illegal power grab designed to disenfranchise millions of voters who are not white in the form of an extremely gerrymander Congressional map that illegitimately gives the criminal organization of MAGA an unearned 5 extra Congressional seats in 2026.

Hopefully trump will die from complications of his congenital heart disease and Texas runs or pushes Abbott out of his seat as Governor! Texans are Already Protesting about this whole situation and It’s Only Going to Grow by the Day! Trump and Abbott are both Criminals to the People of America! 🇺🇸 ♾️

By the time midterms roll around, Trump's policies and actions may well turn enough people against him that it won't matter how many congressional seats he creates.

You just had to add “delivering a win”. You just couldn’t deliver the point. Shameful!

This is a numbers game. Blue states are going to have to gerrymander to make more seats than what these jerks are doing. Even if we don't want to, we gonna have to. We can change them back as soon as possible after 2026.
