In Blow to Trump, Indiana Rejects GOP Gerrymander

Jesus the quotes in this article are a real bleak loom into how fucked we are as a country:

“Some will say these maps are political. Let me be clear,” Sen. Chris Garten ®, another backer, said as he slapped the lectern. “You’re God damn right they are!”

and also:

“President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state,” Heritage Action wrote on X. “Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.”

They’re explicitly saying it’s for political reasons because the supreme Court said gerrymandering for political reasons is just fine.
