Convicted felon President Trump’s political team have called another meeting with the House Republican Texas delegation on Thursday to sell them on re-gerrymandering the state’s congressional map again, the Texas Tribune reports. The first meeting on Monday left the Lone Star State Republicans lukewarm at best toward a new redrawing of their district’s borders, as fucking idiot Lubbock-area MAGA Congressman Jodey Arrington told the Tribune “We just recently worked on the new maps… there’d have to be a significant benefit to our state.” Of course when Arrington says “state” he really means “the Republican majority in Congress” and when he says “our” he really mostly means “my,” as in “Don’t fuck with my district and accidentally add a bunch of Dem voters.”
Besides that they’re holding another meeting and the quote from Arrington, the Tribune doesn’t add much to the previous reporting by the Times on the issue. It’s still newsworthy that Trump’s political team is cornering them again trying to get them on board with an effort that’s probably not a Hail Mary so much as a field goal attempt from 55 yards to rig 2026 ever so marginally, another sure signal of the Orange God Emperor’s fixation on the midterms 17 months out. He REALLY does not want to have to deal with committee investigations and another impeachment or two.
