#Texas Asks #SCOTUS to Clear Way for #Republican-Friendly Congressional Map

State officials are seeking to use a newly redrawn map for the 2026 #midterms, part of a nationwide #redistricting push by #Trump.

The court requested that the #CivilRights groups that had challenged the map respond to Texas’ request by Monday at 5PM.

Of course it did

#SCOTUS on Friday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that found #Texas’ 2026 congressional #redistricting plan pushed by #Trump likely discriminates on the basis of #race.

The order signed by Justice #Alito will remain in place at least for the next few days while the court considers whether to allow the new map favorable to #Republicans to be used in the midterm #elections.

[Buy your stamp and get it stamped at the counter]

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

How the conservative Federalist Society will affect the Supreme Court for decades to come

Research shows that Supreme Court justices affiliated with the group are more consistently conservative than other justices, meaning they seldom deviate from their voting behavior.

Judge deals blow to the # #DOJ’s use of the #CivilRights Act to ‘clean’ voter rolls

The Trump admin’s sweeping legal effort to obtain Americans’ sensitive data from states’ voter rolls is now almost entirely reliant upon the Civil Rights Act – a law passed to protect Black voters from disenfranchisement – a notable shift in how the admin is pressing its demands.
