Trump won 55% of the Hispanic vote in Texas, and when Republicans decided to try to save their majority in the House of Representatives through gerrymandering, they counted on Texas and Hispanics voting for Trump in 2024.When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed the new map, he said, “Four of the five districts we’re going to create are predominantly Hispanic districts.

This is a problem our country has never faced. The designers of the American system of government built the American system of government on the basis of internal conflict that would act as a counterbalancing force, because after fighting a long and bloody revolutionary war and seeing the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the founders saw the need for a federalized system of governance that also did not allow power to be concentrated in a single set of hands or in a single branch of government.This concept is a key foundation of our system of government.PoliticusUSA will never bend…

Having Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has always been a risky proposition for Republicans. Jordan is more famous for his grandstanding in conservative media than for his acumen or expertise in the House of Representatives. Jordan’s main nuance is that he is endlessly loyal to Donald Trump and will never allow the Judiciary Committee to conduct any investigation into Trump or his administration. Outside of Speaker Mike Johnson, there is no greater poster child for the Republican majority in the House than Jim Jordan.PoliticusUSA will never bend the knee. We are 100% independent. Support…
