In headline after headline & lede after lede, the media is helping TX R's by calling TX redistricting map "partisan gerrymandering". The most important element of the map is overt "racial gerrymandering." Partisan gains are realized ONLY by undermining minority voting strength.

Three paragraphs from @HoustonChron's @ChronFalkenberg
accurately describes what @GregAbbott_TX & a generation of one-party Republican rule have done to Texas.

Texas Republicans in Congress aren't happy about redistricting maps either Democrats aren’t the only ones who won’t be happy with the way Texas Republicans on Wednesday proposed redrawing the state's 38 congressional districts.

Stunning cowardice and voter betrayal by TX Congressional Republicans. I've never seen elected from Texas so pathetically submit to Washington political operatives to allow their own state & constituents to be so badly abused.

No surprise that @GregAbbott_TX operatives & TX R legislators lie under oath? They're the same cowards already betraying families w/ kids killed or missing after raging floods to bend over for Donald Trump & more grossly gerrymander TX Cong districts. Cowards are usually liars too.

.@repmarcveasey.bsky.social has the fire, courage, & character Texans expect from leaders but is entirely absent among TX Congressional & Legislative Rs. A mid-decade redraw is an expression of profound cowardice. They are bending over for Trump to betray their own constituents. Pathetic.

It's not just that @DanPatrick is wrong with his hysterics on THC, it's that he is ridiculous and makes agreement on serious and constructive policy harder to reach.

Tarrant Co, TX is a key political battleground. One reason is the desire of mainstream and honorable voters to unload MAGA Republican County Judge Tim O'Hare, who wears racism like a badge of honor and revels in the pain he brings to Tarrant County.

Sen. Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los Angeles Noem was in L.A. to address the ongoing demonstrations against President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

.
@JohnCornyn has had many cowardly moments, especially over the last several weeks as he surrendered his dignity to grovel for a Trump belly rub. But Cornyn's failure now to condemn the physical abuse & arrest of Sen Padilla is damning.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance As President Donald Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

For God's sake, Trump pre-screened soldiers before they could be seated. Pathetically weak, embarrassingly insecure, profoundly incompetent.

What to know about Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA protests President Donald Trump says he’s deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of California Gov.

Stop short-handing Republicans as "conservatives." Trump & the politicians following/enabling him are imposing oppressive, fascistic & violent big government control. Calling Rs "conservatives" is lazy, inaccurate, enabling & even dangerous.

Rep. Tony Tinderholt, voice of the insurgent far right GOP, to retire from the Texas House Tinderholt attributed his decision to retire to his confidence in a new conservative generation of lawmakers and a desire to spend more time with his family.

If you like extreme & destructive politics that gut schools, hurt families, reward billionaires, & pit Texans against each other, you may be sad to see Tony Tinderholt leave the St House. For the rest of us, enjoy retirement, Tony. Please stay retired.

Stocks and U.S. dollar rally as Trump tariffs hit court roadblock The little-known Manhattan-based Court of International Trade ruled that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing his April 2 across-the-board duties on imports from U.S. trade partners.

It's always been true, but now more than ever - It's not just the stock market. Our economy overall and the aspects that help middle-class Americans most thrive when Trump economic proposals are pushed back or reversed.

.@MarcVeasey has this figured out exactly right. MAGA Tarrant Co Judge Tim O'Hare is part of the TX R evolution into a radical & oppressive big government authoritarian state.

Senate unexpectedly passes the No Tax on Tips Act in a unanimous vote Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., called up the bipartisan bill for immediate passage, and no senator objected. The measure now goes to the House.

Well, it looks like Dem NV Sen Jacky Rosen caught Ted Cruz sleeping and stole his thunder. Rosen brought up and passed the No Tax on Tips bill & got it approved unanimously. I guess Ted was away blabbering through a podcast.

Great question

Interesting that one of the major initial concerns about crypto is that it facilitates money laundering, concealed assets, & other illicit activities. Rather than address those concerns, the industry & the Trump criminal enterprise are using them to corrupt & depose democracy itself.
