Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

As a former prosecutor, I know a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. The grand jury’s refusal today to indict Letitia James shows this case should never have been brought.
When we flip the House, we will investigate everyone involved for abuse of power.

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section.
She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU
They wouldn’t even give her a breast pump
She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimes… and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.
