Ron DeSantis' urging just as the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais was being handed down. As we reported, Republicans hold 20 of Florida's 28 congressional seats. The new map, if it survives the current court challenges, could potentially net them another four seats in the upcoming midterm elections.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 26 May 2026 21:03:47 -0400<![CDATA[Sister Toldjah]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Florida]]><![CDATA[Redistricting]]><![CDATA[Ron DeSantis]]>https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/05/26/ruling-on-congressional-map-from-florida-judge-n2202733<![CDATA[The Texas runoff for the Republican U.S. Senate was a nailbiter, but the results have spoken.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 26 May 2026 20:58:01 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[John Cornyn]]><![CDATA[Ken Paxton]]><![CDATA[Polling]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Senate]]><![CDATA[Texas]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/05/26/cornyn-ekes-out-a-win-or-paxton-proves-trumps-prowess-n2202721<![CDATA[In Longview, Washington, there has been a chemical tank implosion at a local pulp and paper mill.

(This is relevant, I promise.) The consultant team working with this company was truly international, from various parts of eastern and western Europe, as well as the United States and Canada. One guy was from Norway, and he was a wonder. Unfailingly polite, soft-spoken, and big. Huge. At least 5' 10" - through his shoulders. I think he was 6' 8" from top to bottom. His biceps were bigger than most men's thighs. He probably could have bench-pressed a Buick. Not a new one, either, one of those great big, 1960-something land yacht Buicks. This was a Viking, and now, it seems, according to a former CIA scientist, he may have been an alien.]]>Tue, 26 May 2026 18:45:55 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[CIA]]><![CDATA[Science]]><![CDATA[Space]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/05/26/reptilians-bugs-and-norwegians-cia-vet-now-claims-us-has-a-secret-alien-collection-n2202732<![CDATA[If you think the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation is a fine time for conservative areas of blue and purple states to make a stand against tyranny, you're not alone.

It's always been that way. Back in the bad old days of the Soviet Union, pretty much from the get-go, the big shots had their well-stocked private commissaries and their dachas in the woods outside of Moscow, while the ordinary folks waited in line for six days to get their potato ration, and were delighted to learn that the chocolate ration had been increased from 12 grams to 10 grams.]]>Tue, 26 May 2026 18:14:01 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Bernie Sanders]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[Congress]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/05/26/feel-the-bern-sanders-spent-lavishly-on-private-jets-limos-for-fighting-oligarchy-tour-n2202730<![CDATA[When Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower in 2015, most Republicans knew instinctively that he would be a different kind of candidate. He immediately called out the people coming across the southern border illegally for what they were, not Mexico's or anyone else's best. That made the tops of liberals' heads come off, but it was that no BS, not being afraid to call Democrat and leftist failures what they were. But Trump also spawned something else: a whole new breed of conservative politician.
