Texas Redistricting: GOP's Texas Rodeo Showdown Gala
In the Lone Star State's latest reality show, Texas Republicans are redrawing the congressional map like it's a high-stakes poker game to net up to five GOP seats. Democrats fled by the dozens, triggering fines, felony threats, and so-called 'civil arrest warrants' because, apparently, skipping town in Texas is a federal crime... in Texas. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called it a 'war' and a 'legal insurrection,' saying, 'bring it on.' Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom eyes a November ballot to rig Cali's map, hoping to 'eliminate all nine GOP-held seats.' It's redistricting meets Game of Thrones, but with more lawyers and less honor.

Texas Democrats fled the state, and Texas calls it 'civil arrest warrants.' That's like sending a police squad after someone who skipped leg day at a gym.
GOP's idea of 'fair play' in Texas: redraw maps so crooked even a GPS says 'nah, you're on your own.'
