With the population growth of Tx, covid, and border blowup anything prior to 22 is meaningless. The valley shifting right bigly dooms this state and there’s zero reason for me to believe that momentum is slowing down heading into midterms.

One pet idea that I've held for the past 20 years and think could get the ball rolling on some reforms would be to increase the number of representatives, which used to happen regularly with each Census as the nation's population grew. Congress capped the number of House seats at 435 in the 1920s. So, when the nation was founded, the typical rep served 35,000 people. By 1910, that had grown to 1 rep per 210,000, while in 1950 it was 345,000. In 2000, it had risen to 650,000, and today, it stands at over 760,000. Adding a bunch of seats would break up these massive districts that allow our unrepresentative State legislature (which has the same population growth problem) to manipulate these massive districts that span from Denton to Dalhart or San Antonio to El Paso, that emphatically do not represent "communities of interest" while also increasing the cost of elections and almost guaranteeing that your representive does not have you and your neighbor's best interests in mind. I don't know if the Texas Constitution allows for an expansion of the State Lege, but the US Congress absolutely could pass a law allowing expansion to happen.

Clears a spot on the 40.

I would really like to see the numbers on how the new districts looked based on the 2018 and 2022 midterms. Presidential election turnouts are clearly a different animal.

I'm shocked that the same twitter link that was posted an hour ago in this thread, a handful of posts before this one, hasn't somehow become clearer to tell the source of the injury. Tell me, good sir, have you ever considered reading to the end of a thread before posting? -
Yeah, I'm in the camp of not trusting Dylan Cease. Why is SD, in contention and allegedly exploring more SPs to trade for, looking to unload a "star" SP? We don't need another high paid player on our IL.

The Fenway tour is absolutely worth it. I don't think it was very expensive, but it's priceless if you're a baseball fan. If you can go on a non-gameday, you will probably get to see more of the park (locker rooms, pressbox). On gamedays, try for the early tour, as parts of the stadium get closed off closer to game time. Our tour included a trip to the top of the green monster.

TikTok is still on and Trump says things to foreign leaders that make people go Just last week the NYT interviewed Latinos that voted for Trump to see where they are now. "I voted for Trump because he’s powerful. He is arrogant, but he is powerful. He says, “I am going to do this. I am going to do this. I am going to do this.” And I feel like he is going to follow through." -Estaban, 22, Texas

Only good news from this is that I get to send Chip Roy an e-mail to say 'arrivederci you carpetbagging cocksucker.' Then I get to welcome my new MAGA overlord, Tony Gonzalez.

powerlifting Elizabeth Warren? noCR

Nah. We will see some ads about trans people or caravans or whatever the scary story is of the day and they will vote Republican like they have been trending and the state will stay Red and pick up 5 Red seats in congress. If the dems had stones they would tell TX to go for it and gerrymander the shit out of CA and NY and gain dozens of seats. One side is at war and the other is sitting back saying there is no way they would go to war with us.
