One of the chief criticisms of the TX map in the judicial ruling is over the DOJ's July letter demanding TX redistrict due to new Fifth Circuit precedent around racial coalition districts.

@eklib and I unpacked the issues with that letter at the time:

[Barstool Longhorn @UTBarstool]

We are heartbroken by the loss of Chloe Childress, who was set to join the Longhorn family this fall. Chloe was a beloved camp counselor, co-president of her school’s Honor Council, a varsity cross-country runner, and the founder of a service club serving senior citizens.

Her compassion, leadership, and bright spirit left a mark on everyone who knew her.

Chloe will always be part of the Texas community. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and all those grieving in the wake of this tragedy. May her memory forever be a blessing. 🧡
