Supreme Court Gives Go-Ahead To California's New Election Map

Bet there was some ketchup-throwing in the Oval last night!
By Susie Madrak — February 5, 2026

Yesterday SCOTUS rejected a bid by California GOPers to block the new congressional map, which was also endorsed by voters. Their refusal to overturn the map allows the state to move forward with a map enacted by Proposition 50,. The map is expected to resulted in an additional five Democratic seats. Boo hoo!

The map change was backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Dems after efforts by Texas and other Republican-led states to redraw their own maps at El Trumpo's urging.

SCOTUS handed California Gov. Gavin Newsom a stunning victory over the pedophile führer, denying the loathsome piece of shit's request to block the new voter-approved districts in the country's largest blue state — which were drawn up in response to Texas redrawing its own maps at Trump's urging. 😂

After allowing Texas to redistrict mid cycle, SCOTUS could hardly deny California the same right. To do otherwise would have publicly confirmed the Court’s Republican bias.
