The Supreme Court just handed Texas Republicans at least 2 more House seats & possibly up to 5 despite the state GOP explicitly justifying their remap based on an unconstitutional use of race in redistricting.

BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.

This has nothing to do with saving consumers money and everything to do with undoing anything Joe Biden did, and helping Big Business. If the environment suffers as a result, if people get sicker, so be it.
