“This Court has repeatedly emphasized that lower federal
courts should ordinarily not alter the election rules on the

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

This hypocrisy is shameful.

- U.S. politicians enjoy universal healthcare.
- Living wages.
- Paid sick leave, too.

But they vote NO for workers on all three.

Vote OUT anti-worker politicians (Dems & GOP). Vote in public servants committed to justice above all else

NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
