10:28Now PlayingBrian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down how a federal court struck down Texas Republicans' blatant racial gerrymandering scheme that Trump pushed to help the GOP win the 2026 midterms. In a stunning rebuke, Trump-appointed Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote a 160-page opinion ruling the 2025 redistricting map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, joined by an Obama appointee in a 2-1 decision ordering Texas to use its 2021 maps instead. Brian reveals that Texas Republicans initially resisted Trump's pressure to redistrict, including Governor Greg Abbott, knowing it would be problematic. But the DOJ Civil Rights Division sent a letter explicitly demanding Texas dismantle districts with majority nonwhite populations, threatening to sue if they didn't comply. Judge Brown eviscerated the DOJ letter as "legally incorrect" with "so many factual, legal, and typographical errors," noting even Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's own lawyers called it "legally unsound," "baseless," "ham-fisted," and "a mess." The hosts explain the map would have given white voters control of 70% of congressional districts despite being only 40% of the population, diluting Black and Latino voting power by breaking up coalition districts across the state to lock in five new GOP seats.
