MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
JEFFREY V. BROWN, United States District Judge:!
In August 2025, the State of Texas enacted a new electoral map to govern elections for the U.S. House of Representatives (the "2025 Map"). Claiming that the 2025 Map is racially
discriminatory, six groups of Plaintiffs (the "Plaintiff Groups") ask the Court to preliminarily
enjoin the State from using the 2025 Map for the 2026 elections.
For the reasons explained below, the Court PRELIMINARILY ENJOINS the State from using the 2025 Map. The Court ORDERS that the 2026 congressional election in Texas shall
proceed under the map that the Texas Legislature enacted in 2021 (the "2021 Map").](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreib3i5jmuws2fzu6zq7t6hucfrg46pmvz5ofh2qoxsqjekkrs5kdge@jpeg)

lmao. reading the opinion on the Texas gerrymander, the court, reasonably, ruled that (a) the Trump admin had sent Texas a letter demanding that it dismantle districts based entirely on their racial makeup; (b) that Texas acknowledged this as their motivation when they did this; (c) this is racist.

This is a really strong piece by @mjsdc.bsky.social on how Trump's DOJ really messed up in how they tried to finagle Texas's re-redistricting. And now that measure was put on hold by a federal district court. A mess in Texas!
Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Y'all know that websites comply with subpoenas, right?
That's why it's called a court *order*.
And if you think they don't, yeah they do. They often don't have to tell you they've even done so.

Didn't know we'd have to quickly test the limits of Trump v. U.S. on what evidence of official acts might be relied upon by a prosecutor--consistent with the Court's newly-concocted theory of criminal presidential immunity--to prove that the President took a bribe.
Cue the Roberts Court saying that it’s not a bribe if Trump didn’t officially ask for a gold bar in return for dropping tariffs.
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.
