🤬 If Missouri lawmakers ignore the orders of #SCOTUS & move forward with the GOP Republican map, it will be evidence that republicans have no intention of governing on behalf of MO voters. MO is fighting for democracy! GOP knows it can only win by cheating! #BlueWave🌊 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/u...

Missouri Republicans are 💯 to blame for the chaos unfolding in their state. They purposely ignored the valid petitions gathered to stop their gerrymander in lieu of a ballot initiative. My guess is that they will deservedly end up losing here. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/u...

this is good but i do have to say that the question of "how do you do the actual election on such short notice now" is an .... interesting one

I’m not gonna “hand it to” Kavanaugh, but I do get satisfaction thinking about the Missouri politicians stomping and whining right now. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/u...

“Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh on Tuesday denied a request from Missouri officials to use a congressional map in November that was redrawn to give Republicans an edge in the midterm elections. The justice’s order deferred to Missouri’s Supreme Court, which last week blocked the use of the new map”

It's good news for the anti-gerrymandering side, bad news for Trump and his allies.

Wow! Kavanaugh just denied Missouri Republicans' request without consulting with the rest of SCOTUS, meaning Democrats should be able to keep both of their House seats from Missouri in the midterms.

Today Justice Kavanaugh denied a request from Missouri officials to use a congressional map in November that was redrawn to give Republicans an edge in the midterm elections. Soon after, a District Court judge in Missouri ruled the other way. As of now the situation is unclear.

Tactical behavior is obviously tactical.

It’s wild to me that the Missouri judge who wants to keep the redrawn map that split the Kansas City district into several is arguing that changing it back now would cause confusion. So why wasn’t he worried when it suddenly changed last year?? 🎁 link: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/u...

If critical court opinions are at odds with each other within minutes across the state's and federal courts, the loss of faith and legitimacy among voters is the trigger for a constitutional crisis, far beyond the suspect legal foundation. The MO GOP is morally bankrupt, an enemy of voting rights.
