SCOTUS is allowing Texas to redistrict early.
Remember that California responded by passing Prop 50 last month.
Other states must also counteract Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterms.
This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

The Supreme Court has approved Texas’s heavily Republican-favored map for 2026. That means Prop 50 will now go into effect to counter the Texas redistricting. Virginia is also considering adding new Democratic-leaning seats to push back against Trump’s redistricting efforts in other states.

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
