I think we all agree that it’s about time. What Texas has done is necessary and completely legal. A side benefit is that Jasmine Crockett will lose her seat.

Let the Democrats wail and beat their chests. We all know that they are the ones who have perfected the fine art of Gerrymandering. Example 1:

As Matt Vespa says in Townhall

It’s over. Texas has a new congressional map for the 2026 midterms, though it took over two weeks after state Democrats unnecessarily fled to prevent a quorum. The new map gives Republicans five winnable seats, all majority Hispanic districts. Democrats could’ve said, ‘ok, let’s fight for these voters who are gettable,’ but they decided to make a hash out of it.

First, the messaging was abysmal, coupled with the fact that no one cared. Even the legacy press said these Texas Democrats ran away. They were off message from the get-go. Only after getting guarantees from California Democrats that they would gerrymander their state again did these exiled derelict lawmakers return to the Texas House to face the inevitable. The new map sailed through the Texas Senate—this was the final stop. And now it’s done.

[. . .]

I couldn’t care less about the fallout. There is none. Gerrymandering is legal. It happens nationwide; red states and blue states do it. The only difference is that Democrats are going to get annihilated if they want all-out war on this.
