Mapf*cked: The Lone Star Screw Job

Mapf*cked: The Lone Star Screw Job

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is the redistricting gunfight in Texas. Ahead of the 2026 midterms and to mitigate Trump's terrible polling numbers, Governor Abbott and the Texas GOP just “remixed” democracy — and not in the fun, dancefloor kind of way. They’re locking in their power with lines so crooked they make Watergate look like a paperwork error. Meanwhile, Democrats in California and New York are quietly plotting their revenge, armed with their own gerrymandering strategies and a deep desire to watch the GOP eat crow. Rick breaks down how this cartographic coup could reshape the House, kneecap voter power, and make every election for the next decade feel rigged before the first ballot drops. If you’re not mad yet, you’re not paying attention.
