Supreme Court lets Texas use gerrymandered map that could give GOP 5 more House seats The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a Texas congressional map that may help the GOP win five more U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms. A lower court found the map is likely unconstitutional.

Absolutely fuck Texas. Come on, blue states. Turnabout is fair play.
