![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A608
GREG ABBOTT, ET AL. U. LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[December 4, 2025]
With an eye on the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, several States have in recent months redrawn their congressional districts in ways that are predicted to favor the State's dominant political party. Texas adopted the first new map, then California responded with its own map for the stated purpose of counteracting what Texas had done.
North Carolina followed suit, and other States are also considering new maps.
Respondents in this case challenged the new Texas map, contending that the legislature's motive was predominantly racial. A divided three-judge District Court agreed and enjoined the use of the new map in the 2026 elections. With the 2026 campaign underway, the State of Texas and several of its officials applied to this Court for a stay.
Based on our preliminary evaluation of this case, Texas satisfies the traditional criteria for interim relief.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreibpud5vzmybiy4rh3a4imhlzri7czu36rhhfykmrisvcij4iwd5yu@jpeg)

Going out of your way to make the world a worse place to try to bring back 1970s-style station wagons that nobody wants anymore is as good a metaphor for MAGA as there is
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

The post-Nixon Republican Party has always pandered to racists, but it used to be an embarrassment, something they dog whistled rather than yelled.
This kind of overt white supremacy would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. And the elite institutions that would have called it out have gone silent

Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Take it from me, someone who watches a lot of Jeopardy when political ads exclusively run: Every Mikie Sherrill ad was about lowering costs. So was every Zohran Mamdani. Moderates and leftists agree on what the message should be.

My most normie, 100% sincerely held opinion is that, setting aside all the corruption, abuses of power, and fascism, posting a video depicting himself as a king shitting on the country is more than enough reason to impeach Trump.

These craziest thing about this shutdown is that Democrats are doing their best to make Trump more popular—by stopping health insurance premiums from going up for tens of millions of people—and Trump is just refusing.

What's wild here is Democrats are begging Republicans to please not let premiums skyrocket under Republican watch when Republicans would be blamed, and Republicans are like twirling their mustaches saying "no the premiums will go up under our tenure"
🚨75% of voters - and 69% of Republicans - are very concerned about the rising costs of health care premiums.
But Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect working families from rising health care costs.

Two senior Republican appropriators agree it doesn't make any sense for Democrats to agree to a government funding deal unless Trump actually adheres to the deal.
The Democratic alternative CR had language that would address this, but the White House came out strongly against.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
