In a ruling signed by a federal court and signed by a Judge nominated by President Donald Trump, new congressional maps created by the Texas GOP have been blocked.

The maps were recently changed in August after President Trump publicly urged Texas Republicans to redraw the congressional maps to pick up five more GOP seats. Republicans in the Texas state legislature then took action that would help the Republican party keep control of the U.S. House majority in the 2026 midterm elections.

The federal government shutdown, a bipartisan conflict that evolved into a tug of war over the Affordable Care Act’s Tax Credits and SNAP benefits, has officially ended as President Donald Trump signed an agreement on Nov. 13.

A government funding package was approved with a vote of 222-209 by members of the House after a 54-day recess; the Senate also passed the same exact package two days prior, according to multiple reports. Republicans were joined by six Democrats who voted yes. Two Republicans voted no, which resulted in the final vote.
