GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY: Texas Court Just BLOCKED Trump's Map Grab - Rep. Jasmine Crockett Live
Rep. Jasmine Crockett goes live from the Capitol with breaking news: a Republican-majority federal court in Texas just stopped Trump and Greg Abbott’s redistricting scheme in its tracks.
In this candid update from the Rayburn Room, Crockett explains how Trump’s attempt to dilute Black and Brown voting power backfired, why Texas will stay under the 2021 maps, and how a desperate dash to the Supreme Court might still play out — with time running out.
She also calls out GOP hypocrisy on the Epstein vote, exposes who they’re really protecting, and breaks down why today’s ruling is a blessing for voters across the state.
This is raw, real, and straight from the floor. Stay tapped in — the fight is moving fast. - 11/18/2025.
