From investigative journalist @GregPalast :

"Texas Attorney General, and general scoundrel, Ken Paxton just won the Republican primary for Senate in Texas. As seen in our film 'Vigilantes Inc.', Paxton proudly claims that Trump would've lost Texas if he hadn't blocked 2.5 million mail in ballots in Harris County — which has the second largest Black and Hispanic populations in America. In other words, Paxton proudly proclaimed that he stole Texas and therefore the presidency for Trump in 2016."

Either the #US #midterms hand #Trump & his government over with a resounding defeat & they go all out & fight, or the national picture remains a 'meh' with great contrasts, in which case #gerrymandering and so called 'sanctuary cities' 👇🏽 (aka 💯% #MAGA with no #opposition 'interference') accelerate.
Which yes, all leads to the same conclusion: the #USA implodes into a 2nd #civilwar, same division lines between the heirs of #confederacy vs. the Union. & 10x as many #guns.

What's next for redistricting as focus shifts to finishing state budget

Despite the redistricting debate being over for now, that doesn't mean the fight done forAfter Tuesday's rejection, the main message from many lawmakers was t

WPDE

1/3 of #republicans voters in #texas are tired of #trump regime. (Also #kenpaxton is a villain.)

Texas is rootin’-tootin’ #gop .

GOP is about 1/3 of #usa voters. (40% of US doesn’t vote.)

1/3 of 1/3 of all voters are tired of Trump. That’s about a 16% voter base change possible. (#kamala lost with historical low voter turnout.)

If the #democrats get Trump regretters to stay home, they win. (Providing they run good candidates.)

Might even pick up some #gerrymandering districts. #uspol

Alabama asks Supreme Court to allow use of congressional map helping GOP

Alabama is asking the Supreme Court to allow it to use a congressional map favoring Republicans in this year’s elections, despite a lower court's ruling the map intentionally discriminates against Black people. The state filed an emergency appeal with the justices Wednesday, a day after a three-judge court blocked a map with a Black majority in just one of Alabama's seven congressional districts. The judges ordered Alabama to use a court-ordered map with two districts with large Black populations. The appeal is the latest development following last month’s Supreme Court ruling weakening the Voting Rights Act and part of a broader push by President Donald Trump to try to preserve Republicans’ slim House majority.
