Is the letter that DOJ sent to TX earlier this year about needing to redistrict a certain way consistent with the position DOJ has taken in court about why California's redistricting is wrong?

If the SCOTUS is going to do something to help TX & Trump, then they need to do it PDQ since the deadline to file for the March 3, '26 Primary is a few weeks away on Dec 8. District maps will need to be set so candidates know which race they want to run for.

The event in Little Havana was staged rather than one that would put him at risk of getting Neg Feedback.
His popularity is low & could get worse if he loses his cool at a non staged event like he already does at the Press.
Yet, there is a risk that a staged event will be recognized as phony.
Recent polls have Cooper with a comfortable lead over Whatley in '26.
Is the ICE - Border patrol stuff that just started in North Carolina independent of GOP calculations to try preventing that Senate seat flipping Blue in '26?
Or are thoughts that ICE - BP actions will help GOP keep that seat?
A shameless liar
Trump wouldn't tolerate *Moses* as Speaker if he was honest.
In Texas, early voting starts just a few months after the filing deadline of Monday, December 8, 2025 at 6:00 PM.

The shapes - boundaries of Districts for US House of Reps & state legislature offices needs to be fixed - determined prior to each state's primary elections. In TX, the primary elections are on March 3.

I looked for anything recent and you are correct about him not being on a Federal payroll.
Both Ziegler and Ingrassia have some affinity for Nick Fuentes.

I have Martin as a Political Patronage guy himself rather than there to do useful things. So logical for him to want more Patronage guys in Gov.
I understand the part about the GOP relying heavily on Political operatives, but I wish that they were getting paid by the GOP rather than taxpayer $$$$$
I agree with all of this about Landa's European background.
Landa can be considered a variation of *Landau* & Martin Landau's father was born in Austria. Over the centuries, people & borders moved quite a bit in that part of Europe.
Am I wrong to consider Ingrassia & Garrett Ziegler as much the same in that they were given positions based on Political Patronage rather than having shown the ability to do useful things?
Ingrassia has a higher profile & probably more power than Ziegler had, but perhaps quite similar beyond that
His true goals were obvious for those who actually looked.
* Avoid his legal issues
* Reward the Rich
* Align with Christian Nationalists, Racists, Nazis & similar
* Punish those that aren't in the above groups
His Dad was Rich & arrested at a KKK demonstration.
Like father, like son.
Bacon is retiring, so he is showing courage only when it is safe.
17.11.2025 03:56 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The provable crimes of what DJT did in the MAL Docs case happened in FL, so he was charged there rather than DC. Some/many felt that he would have successfully argued that DC was the wrong place to take him to Court for MAL Docs
I would expect any defendants to win when they say FL is wrong venue
Indictments, choosing Venue & trials still over the horizon
In regards to packaging Russia Russia with MAL Docs, DJT probably doesn't want Deep Dive on MAL Docs details & needs a friendly Judge to shield that part from Public
Maybe why Cannon is dragging her feet
newrepublic.com/post/202613/...
Maybe they want to stitch the Russia Russia stuff to the MAL Docs case so they can claim a Grand Conspiracy against DJT.
Yet, the grounds for charges in MAL Docs were clearly because of his own actions....not a continuation of a supposed Conspiracy.
They haven't even completed the Grand Jury part.
The GOP in North Carolina is interested only in winning.
Whether an action is legal and/or fair and/or honorable doesn't matter.
ICE disrupting the lives of those who probably don't vote GOP?
The North Carolina GOP will have no problem with that.

Apparently JPM didn't send money when Trump wanted donations (bribes?) for the Ballroom.
The relationship between Dimon & Trump has had its Ups & Downs & Trump isn't happy with those who act independently rather than bow down to him.

Being a MAGA - RWNJ helps win Local & District races in much of Georgia, but a GOP candidate for statewide races such as Governor, US Senate etc needs to shift a bit to the Center.
Marge has shifted to playing the Long Game as a Politician.
In the past, the GOP was able to use Abortion as an issue to pull Hispanics from the Democrats.
Since Miller, Trump, Homan, Noem etc seem determined to continue to do what they are doing, the GOP could lose some of those same Hispanics because Pope Leo is clearly against what is happening in the US
Until it is decided who are the Democratic Candidates in TX for US Senate, Gov etc...there are probably aren't going to be many Ads funded by Texans linking Trump with TX GOP.
There is a huge amount of $$$$$ flowing for the Cornyn, Paxton & Hunt TV Ads. No idea where the $$$$$ is coming from.
Unless something changes before the TX Primary in March, all 3 (Cornyn, Paxton & Hunt) will *Ride With Trump* in TV Ads.
Nov '26, the GOP Candidate will portray themselves as a Moderate & the Dem Candidate as a Radical Communist.
So don't let them shed the Trump's Pal stuff that they are using now

*In new statement, attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell*
When a lawyer gives statements on behalf of their client, read the statements multiple times to see how they are playing with words.
It will be difficult for the Billionaires to root out & replace the RWNJ types that are embedded in the GOP at various levels.
Until the Extremists are rooted out of the GOP Machinery, it will be difficult to move the GOP in a better direction
In TX, all 3 candidates for US Senate align with Trump
Being unimportant for a few Elections Cycles while they rebuild isn't going to be popular within the GOP.

At the
Precinct -> Town -> City -> County levels in Southern Strategy States, I have the RWNJ, Racists, Nazis etc more motivated & able to get folks out more than RW Fat Wallets.
This author (Chris Whalen) might not be a true Trumper, but he at least is Conservative GOP & he dings Pulte for some other stuff.
