Rep. Al Green got fired today...

[Mycroft]

...and he is pissed.

Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office.​

​

The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics.​

​

Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.​

​

In his angry press release, Green declared that the elimination of his district—along with TX-18, TX-29, and TX-33—was part of a “racist, unconstitutional scheme” led by President Trump’s Justice Department and Attorney General Ken Paxton.​

Green compared Texas Republicans to segregation-era racists. But that accusation falls apart under even basic scrutiny.

HMMM. Tell us how well the Texan representation in congress matches the balance of votes in Texas? i.e. if the Dems have X% of the total votes, do they end up with X% of the representation, or do the Republicans end up massively over-represented due to Republican gerrymandering? Pretty simple question that you will undoubtedly know the answer to given your willingness to say that the Dems are the ones cheating. In other words, where are the facts to back up your assertions?

Yep, Green is unlikely to remain in Congress.

In the Houston area, the proposed map would remake four Democratic districts. The biggest upheaval would be in the 9th Congressional District, a seat represented by Rep. Al Green that currently covers the southern part of Harris County and its direct southern neighbors. It would shift to the eastern parts of Houston, where no current member of Congress lives. Instead of being a seat that former Vice President Kamala Harris won by 44% under the current boundary, Trump would have won it by 15%.

It looks like the end of Doggett’s reign too.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett, the dean of Texas’ congressional delegation, announced Thursday he would not run for reelection to his Austin-based seat if a new Republican-drawn map is in effect for the 2026 midterms.

Doggett, 78, has represented his hometown of Austin for over 50 years, in both the Legislature and Congress. First elected to Congress in 1994 — the last year Democrats won a statewide race in Texas — he survived numerous Republican redistricting efforts throughout his tenure as the number of Texas Democrats in Congress dwindled.

In announcing his decision, Doggett is ceding his newly drawn 37th Congressional District, a deep-blue district that encompasses much of Austin, to Rep. Greg Casar. Casar, 36, currently represents the 35th Congressional District, which runs from Austin to San Antonio but is on the verge of being redrawn by Republicans to contain less than 10% of Casar’s current constituency.

Well, that's one way to get rid of him even though it seems some amount of people wanted him to be in office.

Not even sure what he did outside of being the most active filer of impeachment resolutions. But some people wanted him. Maybe to do that. Maybe his district really hated Trump.

When they have to cheat to win, it usually spells the beginning of the end.
MAGAs are already in decline, just like poor old King Donald.

You keep quoting this like it's an own.

First you keep missing the point

Second go look up states that are controlled by Republicans. It's not uncommon about too have those percentages with 0 reps.

MA is 9-0. WY is 1-0. How do you split one representative?

Yeah, the idiocy is something else. Some will burn their own house down out of spite, and that's where we seem to be headed.

Okay, blue states, let's go. Take off the gloves. If we can do it, you can do it.

Kentucky? Tennessee?

 

[JMB1911A1]

Kentucky? Tennessee?

KY is 5-1. TN is 7-1 with one vacant. Better than MA, CT, RI, VT, NH, ME.

How about you do yourself own research? You already failed with KY and TN. When you find NINE sates with zero democrats, we can talk.

Goal post moving but that's also too easy.

ID, WY, OK, ND, SD, AK, UT, AR, WV.

Just stop getting you're talking point from Twitter and you won't be so ignorant of facts.

How many of those are 1-0 states that are impossible to gerrymander? Unlike the 9-0 that MA is gerrymandered to?

The only people moving goal posts here are the Democrats who have discovered that they aren’t the only party that can gerrymander.

Certainly wasn't a fail with KY and TN. But keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better.
