Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday signed a Republican-friendly redistricting bill approved by the state legislature, finalizing a new congressional map pushed by President Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Woe to Texas. How’s that legal?

    Hopefully, this shit backfires and they lose seats. You can only win Democratic spots by diluting your own seats, so this has a chance of being an ultimate self own, especially with the ways Hispanics in Texas are turning against Trump. Note: Hispanics make up FORTY PERCENT of Texans. ICE efforts have hampered enthusiasm for the TACO.

      If and big if, this leads to republicans losing seats they are 1000% going to claim there is massive voter fraud and let Wheels appoint Republicans in every district Dems won.
