Shocking that an administration led by a man who kept classified documents in his bathroom can’t figure out how to release classified documents in under a month.

A "path" toward a two state solution has been held in front of Palestine as a fig leaf for Israel for decades. It's meaningless except to Western politicians and liberal zionists who think occupation is icky. It's Lucy holding the football. There will always be an excuse to delay it another decade.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
GRANTING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
JEFFREY V. BROWN, United States District Judge:1
In August 2025, the State of Texas enacted a new electoral map to govern elections for the U.S. House of Representatives (the "2025 Map"). Claiming that the 2025 Map is racially discriminatory, six groups of Plaintiffs (the "Plaintiff Groups") ask the Court to preliminarily
enjoin the State from using the 2025 Map for the 2026 elections.
For the reasons explained below, the Court PRELIMINARILY ENJOINS the State from using the 2025 Map. The Court ORDERS that the 2026 congressional election in Texas shall proceed under the map that the Texas Legislature enacted in 2021 (the "2021 Map").
1 U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown delivers the opinion of the Court, which Senior U.S. District Judge David C. Guaderrama joins. U.S. Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith will file a dissenting opinion.
