...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.​

Democrat Rep. Al Green Is Fired. His Response Was to Call It Racist. | The Gateway Pundit | by Gregory Lyakhov

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

Don't let the door hit you...well, you know the rest, Al.
 
Last time I'll have to listen to him ramble.
 
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.


Texas House Republicans unveil new congressional map that looks to pick up five GOP seats

The first draft of the lower chamber’s new redistricting map targets Democratic members of Congress in the Austin, Dallas and Houston metro areas and in South Texas.

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


Doggett won’t seek reelection to Congress if new district is upheld by courts, paving way for Casar

Doggett has represented his hometown of Austin for over 50 years, in both the Legislature and Congress, surviving numerous Republican redistricting efforts to target his seat.

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.
 

Really shut up the voices of all his voters there real quick didn’t it? Yay freedom! /s
 
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.
 
Republican are finally responding to decades of Democrat gerrymandering. When a Republican state gets to 0% Democrats, we can talk.

 
I was really hoping Jasmine Crockett would be looking for a new job. The View would be a good fit for her.

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.

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.
