Texas Republicans are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump. The response by Democrats in California to counter-balance is being triggered by a blatant GOP plot to steal the 2026 midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Remember jury nullification if you are told to serve. It is a seldom used, yet powerful tool that only jurors have. If a law is unjust, you have the right to nullify it as a jury. This will likely become more common before Trump shuts the courts down altogether.
