Months before igniting Texas’ redistricting fight, the Trump administration began testing a strategy of using the courts to force favorable political outcomes. The new voting map, signed into law today by Gov. Greg Abbott, is its latest win. With @texastribune.org

Creating policies that improve the lives of residents is too difficult for these Republican representatives. Strategies for staying in power now takes up all of their time. Unless it involves controlling and killing women.

I hear the new map relies heavily on the Hispanic vote. Abbott may be in for a bit of surprise.

Why in the world would anyone think that having more Republicans in Congress be a good idea? Exactly how many of the challenges faced by most Americans have they even addressed, much less made better with their political majority? None for my family! CORRUPTION is the game, Republican is the name!

We will make sure not one republican wins an election in NJ. Republicans can accept it or move out.

Nothing says Texan like licking Trump's ass. What happened Texas? Texas's new motto: We bend over for Trump like a Republican at a gay resort.

Do we still assume that the shadow government behind the Trump admin is the team that produced Project 2025, complete with ready legal rationales? Why haven't mainstream news outlets, with all of the journalistic prizes to be won, run that question to ground? It's not these sycophants.

Trump lives among the loopholes. He ignores laws, and long held policed and procedures that allow the nation to conduct poltical business. American politics can't operate as Trump does this way. It will lead to great dissension and break down our democracy so it can't function.
