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.

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.
I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

Trump announces a pardon of Henry Cuellar: "I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!"

This week Trump pardoned a private equity fraudster, the drug-trafficking ex-president of Honduras, and a Congressman who allegedly took bribes.
Meanwhile, he's weaponizing government to go after his enemies.
An utter mockery of the rule of law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

I see what the GOP is doing here.
Do you?
Making the ACA completely unaffordable, it will cause people to drop their plans. If not enough people are enrolled, it makes the ACA obsolete & then they can get rid of it altogether. That is and always has been the plan.
WE TOLD YOU.

The midterm math could get brutal. Potential SCOTUS gift of 6-19 seats. Then estimate that GOP settles on 8 seats collectively from OH (2), FL (2), MO, NC, and some combination of IN, KY, and NE. Suddenly, Dem's need nearly 24 seats to reclaim the House.
