Texas Gerrymanders Itself Five Seats Closer to Chaos
In a plot twist more twisted than a pretzel at a state fair, the Texas House just carved out a redistricting plan that hands Republicans FIVE extra seats — apparently on President Trump's suggestion, who called it a 'Big WIN' for Texas. Democrats, briefly playing hide-and-seek by fleeing the state, plan to grumble all the way to court. With 30 Republicans and 8 Democrats likely in the delegation, State Rep. Todd Hunter admits the map’s goal is to 'improve Republican political performance,' while Dems cry 'illegal and racially discriminatory map.' Fasten your seatbelts, Texas politics is bumpier than your uncle’s conspiracy rants!

Texas just turned gerrymandering into a TX-sized game of political Twister — five more GOP seats, Democrats running for the exits, and Trump leading the cheer like it’s a varsity sport. Spoiler: fairness isn’t on the ballot, but chaos definitely is.
If Texas’ new map was a TikTok dance, it’d be called the ‘GOP Shuffle’ — step one: break democracy, step two: make your seat count explode, step three: repeat. Texas y’all, where the lines aren’t just drawn, they’re weaponized.
Democrats left Texas like it was a family reunion they never RSVP'd to. Spoiler: No quorum, no vote, just some good old-fashioned political ghosting. Meanwhile, Republicans sharpen their pencils for five extra seats. Welcome to redistricting, y’all!
