A male ex-JP Morgan employee executive set the Internet ablaze earlier this week after alleging he was a victim of a thirsty and manipulative female boss. Now, his words have come back to haunt him.
The Daily Mail printed an explosive story on its website on Wednesday, revealing that a John Doe filed a lawsuit claiming that a high-ranking JP Morgan executive named Lorna Hajdini subjected him to untold amounts of racial and sexual abuse.
John Doe, now identified as 35-year-old Chirayu Rana, claimed that while employed at JPMorgan, Hajdini tried to exploit and humiliate him with unwanted sexual advances and racist remarks.
Some of the wildest claims were that Hajdini supposedly fondled her breasts in front of Rana and mocked his wife by saying: “I bet your little Asian, fishhead wife doesn’t have these cannons!”
Then, Hajdini supposedly performed oral sex on her ’employee’ against his will. She also allegedly said she owned him and controlled his bonus and promotion.
She then allegedly propositioned Rana for more sex while using racially incendiary terms.
Later, Hajdini supposedly told Rana this in a text after he complained: “I f**king own you! You really think that you’re going to be in good standing if you don’t have me in your corner?”
“You really think management is going to want some brown boy Indian leading organizations,” she allegedly continued. “If you don’t f**k my brians out tonight, I’m going to sabotage your promotion.”

But as The New York Post notes, JP Morgan’s internal investigation found that this whole thing was an elaborate hoax. Not only did Hajdini say the allegations were all lies, but Rana refused to provide any supporting documents backing up his claims.
“Following an investigation, we don’t believe there’s any merit to these claims,” a spokesperson for the company said. “While numerous employees cooperated with the investigation, the complainant refused to participate and has declined to provide facts that would be central to support his allegations.”
Moreover, they were colleagues and did not report to each other. Hajdini also reported to a different managing director than Rana.
Thus, she had no influence over any bonus or promotion.
The Post additionally revealed another damning detail: Rana asked an AI legal-expert chatbot for advice nearly a year ago called Ask a Lawyer, where he also made his wild allegations against Hajdini.
Rana also tried to shake down JP Morgan for a payout worth millions of dollars to leave the bank quietly. But JPMorgan refused.
Finally, after Rana filed his court filing, his lawyers retracted it for supposed “corrections” and deleted it.

Close your eyes and think of some of the most famous sports broadcasters of all time.Guys like Howard Cosell, John Madden, Bob Costas and many more might come to mind.All of these guys are pros’ pros; the best of the best. And they dress that way, too.A suit and tie is almost a prerequisite for being a great and memorable sports broadcaster if you want to be taken seriously.JASON DAY ASKED TO TONE DOWN MASTERS ATTIRE AFTER UNCONVENTIONAL CLOTHING CHOICE LAST YEARApparently, no one handed that memo to ESPN’s Stanley Cup Playoffs commentator, P.K. Subban, as the normally bombastic media personality had another vintage outfit on display for the whole world to see.And when I say “another,” I’m not speaking in hyperbole, because this man is known for his, shall we say, questionable wardrobe choices while on the air.Take a look at what he pulled out of the closet a few weeks ago.TRAVIS KELCE CHANNELS INNER ‘70S WITH SUPER BOWL LIX PRE-GAME FITThose pants would make John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever” blush.With that in mind, Subban doubled down on the outlandish fit, and the whole Internet took notice.Dear Lord! That man is wearing more satin than a honeymoon suite at a seedy Las Vegas motel.Listen, I know I started this article by saying if you wanted to be respected in this business then you need to dress accordingly, but I honestly think Subban is one of the only guys who can pull this off.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!I know he’s getting flamed online, but he actually looks pretty damn cool.Subban’s play style rubbed a lot of people the wrong way too, as he played a little close to the line (most great players do), so it’s no surprise his clothing choices have the same effect on people.Sure, he’s not going to be mistaken for Henrik Lundqvist and his Bond-villain-esque suit game, but props to P.K. for blazing his own trail.Keep up the good work, Subes!

A grand jury indicted a Salvadoran national residing in the U.S. illegally on federal assault charges Thursday after he allegedly rammed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents with his car.The federal grand jury returned the indictment for Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez on Thursday, levying two charges of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon and one count of destruction of government property, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California announced Friday.ICE agents shot Hernandez, a suspected gang member, in April after he allegedly refused to comply with law enforcement orders, according to authorities.Agents, who were dispatched to Patterson, California, specifically to find Hernandez, located him and his vehicle on April 7 and pulled him over.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUSPECTED OF GANG TIES ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY RAMMING ICE OFFICER”During the stop, Mendoza Hernandez identified himself and an agent informed Mendoza Hernandez that he was being detained and instructed him to step out of the vehicle. Despite repeated requests, Mendoza Hernandez kept his car running and did not comply with agent requests,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.Hernandez allegedly drove forward and hit an agent with his vehicle, then “quickly shifted the vehicle in reverse and abruptly accelerated in a rapid backward motion, violently colliding with a law enforcement vehicle in the process,” according to federal prosecutors.After the collision, Hernandez allegedly floored his vehicle toward two agents. One of them, who was in the direct path of the vehicle, jumped out of the way. Hernandez then drove over the center divider into oncoming traffic, federal prosecutors said.ICE INVOLVED IN SHOOTING AFTER AGENCY SAYS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GANG MEMBER TRIED TO RAM OFFICER”During this incident, and in response to the vehicle’s movements, agents discharged their firearms at the vehicle and hit Mendoza Hernandez several times. Agents rendered medical aid at the scene and Mendoza Hernandez was transported to the hospital,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.Law enforcement suspected Hernandez of belonging to the 18th Street Gang. He was also wanted in connection to a murder investigation, Fox News Digital previously reported.Hernandez’s family disputes the gang ties allegations and asserts he was cleared of connection to the alleged murder, Fox News Digital previously reported.If convicted of the assault charges, Hernandez faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count. If convicted of the destruction charge, Hernandez faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, prosecutors said.Fox News Digital contacted Hernandez’s attorney for comment but did not immediately receive a response.Fox News Digital’s Bonny Chu contributed to this report.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher was quick to address the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner shooting during his Friday show, condemning those who expressed disappointment that President Donald Trump was not killed.The Washington D.C., shooting, which reportedly targeted Trump administration officials, has intensified concerns over the dangerous repercussions of charged political rhetoric.”Let’s get the ugly news about the political violence out of the way first,” Maher said during Friday’s episode of his HBO show.”If you’re one of these people – and there’s many in this country – who watched that and was disappointed the president wasn’t killed… you’re not a good person. Or a smart person.”EDUCATORS FACE BACKLASH, FIRINGS AFTER POSTS LAMENT TRUMP SURVIVING WHCA DINNER SHOOTINGThe left-leaning comedian did not pull back his criticisms of Trump but argued the president is not as extreme as some critics say.”Certainly, Trump has often not been good, decent or kind,” Maher said. “But he’s not Hitler!”FETTERMAN URGES DEMS TO STOP CALLING TRUMP ‘HITLER’ AND ‘AUTOCRAT’ AFTER KIRK ASSASSINATIONMaher, a vocal Trump critic, took a moment to defend the president against Hitler accusations, warning of the fatal risks of such labels.”This is why I was against this ‘He’s Hitler’ bulls—t,” Maher asserted.”If you really believe that he is a Hitler McPedophile, then you kind of have to kill him. That’s the mentality they have.”The comedian went on to warn of the dangers of charged political rhetoric that he argued has normalized into the mainstream.”I remember when the shoe was on the other foot” and liberals were disturbed about violent rhetoric, he said. “The shoe is on the other foot now. I mean it’s on both feet.”HOW TRUMP SURVIVES: BATTLING THE MEDIA, FORMER ALLIES AND ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTSMaher also denounced individuals who believe Trump’s death would resolve political tensions, arguing that the president’s political failure is already upon him.”I don’t think you’re a good person, I wouldn’t want to be the person who thinks that way. Also, it’s just not smart,” Maher asserted.”You think that’s gonna solve the problem?… MAGA’s not gonna die!””We tried impeaching, that didn’t work. We tried going to the courts, that didn’t work. The only way this actually works: it’s happening. His popularity is at the lowest level it is, even among his core supporters.”

Clutch doesn’t even begin to describe Toronto Raptors star RJ Barrett’s season-saving shot.The Raptors, down 3-2 in the series, were trailing the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-109 with 10.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter at the Scotiabank Arena on Friday night.Barrett inbounded the ball to Scottie Barnes, with the Raptors needing a basket to save their season. Barnes dribbled to the free-throw line and then kicked the ball back to Barrett, who was waiting at the top of the key.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBarrett launched a 3-pointer, a shot that needed to find the back of the net if the Raptors were to force a Game 7 and extend their season. Instead, Barrett found the back of the rim and the ball bounced nearly seven feet off it.The ball then came down and fell through the net, giving the Raptors a 112-110 lead with 1.2 seconds left. Evan Mobley had a chance to win it for the Cavaliers, but his 3-pointer bounced off the front of the rim as time expired.Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said he felt like Barrett’s shot was in the air for an eternity.”It was only half a second, but it felt like an eternity,” Rajakovic said. “I was happy for him, for this team, for this city, that the shot went down.”Barrett said he knew it had a chance to fall because of where the ball landed on the rim.FORMER WIZARDS STAR JOHN WALL RETURNS TO WASHINGTON AS HOWARD BASKETBALL OPERATIONS PRESIDENT”I thought it was still good because it went straight up,” Barrett said. “When it goes straight up, you have a chance.”Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson had a more succinct reaction to Barrett’s season-saving shot.”Sometimes the basketball gods aren’t with you,” Atkinson said.The Cavaliers are now looking to turn the page and win Game 7 at home.”This is why you fight so hard to get home-court advantage,” Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said. “We knew this wasn’t going to be easy. This is the playoffs, this is what it’s about. We’ve got to recover and get ready for Sunday’s game.””Protect home court,” Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell said. “It doesn’t matter if we lost by 30 or two, protect home court. That’s all you can do.”For Raptors fans, the friendly bounce was reminiscent of an even bigger playoff basket north of the border: Kawhi Leonard’s four-bounce, buzzer-beating winner against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of the 2019 Eastern Conference semifinals.Raptors fans hope they can get another special memory when the team plays the Cavaliers at 7:30 p.m. ET.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit to scrap New Jersey rules allowing illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition rates at public colleges, even though Americans living outside of New Jersey are charged higher tuition.
“Imagine being denied the opportunity of education in your own country,” Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward said, according to a Department of Justice news release.
“By granting illegal aliens in-state tuition, the state of New Jersey is doing just that,” he said.
Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division added that “this is a simple matter of federal law: in New Jersey and nationwide, colleges cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens.”

— Yahoo News (@YahooNews) May 1, 2026

“This Department of Justice will not tolerate American students being treated like second-class citizens in their own country,” he said.
The release said that the Justice Department has filed similar lawsuits against other states, with complaints in Texas, Kentucky, and Oklahoma being successful in ending policies that gave illegal immigrants reduced tuition.
The department is currently suing Illinois, Minnesota, Virginia, Nebraska, and California, which have similar policies.
“Congress made a legislative judgment that illegal aliens in our Nation cannot receive resident tuition benefits that are denied to U.S. citizens residing in other states… There are no exceptions. Yet New Jersey has ignored this legislative command for over a decade,” the complaint said.
The lawsuit added that illegal immigrants can get in-state tuition rates even as out-of-state American citizens must pay a higher rate.
“These statutes blatantly discriminate in favor of illegal aliens over U.S. citizens from other states. Worse, such preferential treatment is squarely prohibited and preempted by Congress,” the complaint said.
“Federal law mandates that ‘an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State… for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit… without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident,’” it continued.
The complaint said multiple rules on the books should be wiped away.
“This Court should declare all four New Jersey laws and regulations challenged herein preempted and unconstitutional, and the Court should permanently enjoin the operation and enforcement of New Jersey’s laws and regulations treating illegal aliens in our Nation more favorably than United States citizens,” the complaint said.

The roots of the lawsuit were contained in an executive order issued in April 2025 by President Donald Trump that read, “Some measures to assist illegal aliens also necessarily violate Federal laws prohibiting discrimination against Americans in favor of illegal aliens.”
The order called on the Justice Department to “stop the enforcement of State and local laws, regulations, policies, and practices favoring aliens over any groups of American citizens that are unlawful, preempted by Federal law, or otherwise unenforceable, including State laws that provide in-State higher education tuition to aliens but not to out-of-State American citizens.”

Unexploded Ordinance Accident Kills 14 IRGC Members: State Media

Trump’s operation Epic Fury saw a combined number of US-Israeli strikes in the many thousands unleashed on Iran. The common high estimates suggest over 13,000 strikes by the American side, and possibly 10,000 by the Israelis – which are staggering figures.

While the severe damage to Iranian cities, bases, missile sites, and infrastructure has been abundantly clear – the hidden reality is the apparently persistent danger of unexploded ordinance still littering the country. On Friday state media reported a mass casualty event involving Iranian military members due to unexploded bombs.

“An explosion of leftover bombs from strikes during the war against Iran killed 14 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranian media reports,” AFP reports based on state media.

“A report by the Nour news website, believed to be close to Iran’s security, says the explosion happened near the northern city of Zanjan, which is northwest of Tehran,” AFP continues.

And notably, “It is the largest number of IRGC members reported to be killed since the ceasefire began on April 7,” it continues, describing that cluster bombs and ‘air mines’ which had been dropped during prior US and Israeli aids caused the deadly blasts.

The major blast could have been the result of an IRGC operation to recover the bombs, given that the last week has seen reports that the IRGC had recovered a fully intact GBU-57 Bunker Buster bomb.

While unconfirmed, one defense source said as follows:

The reported recovery by Iran of more than 15 unexploded American precision-guided munitions, including at least one fully intact GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, may prove to be one of the most strategically consequential intelligence gains in Tehran’s military history.

If confirmed, the transfer of these weapons to Iranian “technical and research units” for reverse engineering would transform a failed deep-strike campaign against hardened nuclear facilities into a long-term technology compromise for both Washington and Tel Aviv.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), through statements linked to the Imam Sajjad Corps in Hormozgan province and state-linked outlets including Press TV, IRNA, and Tasnim News, framed the recovered ordnance not as battlefield debris but as a strategic opportunity capable of accelerating deterrence, bunker survivability, and indigenous precision-strike development.

As for this new mass casualty event, another source adds the following further details: “The IRGC’s Ansar al-Mahdi unit in Zanjan said demolition teams had entered a contaminated area to identify and neutralize unexploded munitions left from recent airstrikes when the deadly explosion happened on Friday.”
Illustrative via Popular Mechanics 

The Friday incident strongly suggests there are other extreme danger zones, and given that thousands of bombs rained down all over Iran during the height of US-Israeli war, there could be more such deadly accidents to come.

The 2026 Kentucky Derby is finally here. I’m no professional shark, but I’ve spent hours grinding through Beyer figures to ensure I’m not just throwing money away at Churchill Downs.I’m focusing strictly on the late-day heater: Races 8 through 12. These are my personal picks for the biggest day in sports, culminating in the 152nd edition of the Kentucky Derby.KENTUCKY DERBY 2026: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE FIRST LEG OF HORSE RACING’S TRIPLE CROWNWe aren’t guessing. From exactas in the Turf Classic to a trifecta box for the Derby, these plays are backed by deep dives into the horse profiles and PPs from Daily Racing Form.Time to hit the window. Here is my Pick 5, best bets and exotics. Let’s turn this research into a payday at the 152nd Run for the Roses.Pick 5 (Races 8-12):L1: 1, L2: 7,12,14, L3: 1,5,11, L4: 4,6, L5: 12,14Race 9:$5 to Win/Place on #7 Alpyland and #14 Final Score ($20 total bet).$1 Trifecta Box on 7,12,14Race 10:$10 to Win on #1 Disco Time.$5 to Win/Place on #11 Point Fume ($10 total bet).$1 Trifecta Box on 1,5,11 ($6 total bet).Kentucky Derby (Race 12):$10 Win/Place on #12 Chief Wallabe and #14 Potente ($40 total bet).$1 Trifecta on 14/ 1,6,10,12,18 / 1,6,10,12,18 ($20 total bet).  $1 Trifecta Box on 5,12,14 ($6 total bet).Eleven horses on a 1-mile dirt track for three-year-olds with a $375K purse. #10 Englishman (3-1 on the morning-line)I hate betting favorites, but I cannot get past the 2-0 Englishman. Although I’m betting this race lightly and using the #10, and maybe the #4 in my multi-race wagers.Nevertheless, he won his maiden at Churchill by 7.25 lengths and his 2026 debut by 7.5 lengths at the second- (97) and third-fastest (95) Beyer speed figures of any horse in the Pat Day field.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEEnglishman has blazing-fast early speed and he should get to the rail quickly because he is running out of the first post. Three of his four workouts this month have been great and Englishman looks ready to win his first stakes race. _____________________________Thirteen horses on a one-and-one-sixteenth-mile turf track for three-year-olds with a $1 million purse. #7 Alpyland (8-1)He’s won four of his last five races and has gone off as the favorite in two of his three outings this year. Alpyland has two wins and a third this season, running an 84 (twice) and 85 Beyer in those races, which is fast enough to win the American Turf.#14 Final Score (8-1)This being Final Score’s 2026 debut is definitely a concern. However, Final Score was 3-1 as a two-year-old. Those wins are in his last three starts, all at this distance. His last two wins were stakes races: Grade 3 With Anticipation and Grade 2 Bourbon.Final Score’s elite connections, Mike Repole (owner) and Todd Pletcher (trainer), wouldn’t put him in this race if they didn’t think he could win. Repole and Pletcher got the best jockey in horse racing, Irad Ortiz, to ride him.Lastly, I’ll admit to my bias: Two of Final Score’s wins are in Saratoga, my hometown and the greatest race track in the world. _____________________________Eleven horses on a seven-furlong dirt track for four-year-olds and upward with a $1 million purse. #1 Disco Time (6-1)He’s gone off as the favorite in all seven career races (5-1-0). The Brad Cox trainee is cutting back to seven furlongs and two graded stakes two-turn races to start the season. Disco Time has won his only race at this distance and both times he’s run on the Churchill Downs dirt.#11 Point Fume (15-1)Point Fume has won all three races as a five-year-old, with the most recent being the Grade 2 Carter last month. His last six workouts have been insanely fast and he’s run 104 and 101 Beyers in his last two races.The Into Mischief colt has gone off at a shorter price six straight races and he won the last time he was above 10-1. Seven furlongs is a sprint and Point Fume has the second-fastest “early speed” in this field._____________________________Nine horses on a one-and-one-eighth-mile turf track for four-year-olds and upward with a $1.5 million purse. #4 Program Trading (4-1)Again, I’ll show my bias, but his trainer, Chad Brown, is a native Saratogian who prints money on The Spa’s turf during the summer. Program Trading won this same race two years ago but hasn’t matched his 102 Beyer since.Also, he is changing jockeys and putting on blinkers for this race. Between his experience in graded stakes races and his connections, I like how Program Trading is approaching the Turf Classic.He has tactical speed and the third-fastest closing kick in this field. Hence, I’m expecting Program Trading to be around the lead coming down the stretch and have enough in the tank to outrun his rivals._____________________________Nineteen horses on a 1.25-mile dirt track for three-year-olds with a $5 million purse. #6 Commandment (6-1)Entering on four straight wins, including two consecutive graded stakes races, Commandment has been the betting favorite in four of his five career races.He won the Grade 1 Florida Derby, which is supposed to be the best prep race for the Kentucky Derby and the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth. He likes the Churchill dirt and broke his maiden with a 5.25-length win in November. #12 Chief Wallabe (8-1)There was nothing wrong with his second in the Fountain of Youth and third in the Florida Derby. He ran a 100 Beyer and lost by a neck in the Fountain and a 99 Beyer and lost by a half-length in Florida.That 100 Beyer is tied for the third-fastest in this race, so he is fast enough to win the Derby. Chief Wallabe’s trainer, Bill Mott, is a two-time Kentucky Derby winner and the reigning champion with Sovereignty. #14 Potente (20-1) Trained by record-tying six-time Kentucky Derby winner Bob Baffert, Potente has a faster speed figure in all three career races (2-1-0). He needs to take another step forward to win the Derby, but his April 26 workout was the fastest among 23 other horses.Potente was the favorite in two of his three races, including a second-place finish to #8 So Happy at the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby his last time out. Into Mischief’s son has a versatile running style, going wire-to-wire in his maiden win and coming from mid-pack to win the Grade 2 San Felipe two starts back._____________________________Follow me on X @Geoffery-Clark, and check out my OutKick Bets Podcast for more betting content and random rants.

President Donald Trump has announced that his administration has removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security rolls, with an additional 100,000 or more migrants stripped from Medicare eligibility, and the number is climbing.
Trump announced the win for taxpayers during a speech to thousands of retirees at The Villages in Florida on Friday, where Trump tied the purge directly to his promises of “No Tax on Social Security” and safeguarding the program from rampant fraud.
“Together with the Republicans in Congress, we’ve removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security roll,” Trump said. “And, we’ve removed more than 100,000 migrants from Medicare eligibility, 100,000, and the number is going up.”
Trump continued, “The Democrats didn’t care, they couldn’t care less.”
“All they care about is Trump, Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are sick. They are lunatics. We’re dealing with lunatics,” the president added.

In August, Trump revealed that 275,000 illegal aliens had already been removed.
The administration has systematically canceled thousands of Social Security numbers improperly issued to illegal migrants under prior policies.
This effort stems directly from a presidential memorandum titled “Preventing Illegal Aliens from Obtaining Social Security Act Benefits,” which directed the Social Security Administration (SSA) to update records and block ineligible non-citizens.
Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano and the SSA have backed the moves, confirming updates to records of individuals “no longer holding legal status.”
Every dollar stolen by illegal aliens from Social Security and Medicare is a dollar taken from American seniors who paid into the system their entire lives. Thankfully, the Trump administration is putting a stop to it.

The U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Another state has announced plans to have a special session of the state legislature to redistrict.
The redistricting wars have been going on for about a year already, and it’s important because whichever party has the majority in the U.S. House influences American policy and government action is a major way.
Republicans have been in the majority since President Donald Trump was elected, leaving Democrats to deliver rhetoric but little else to their supporters.
It now is Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee who confirmed plans for a special session of the state’s General Assembly next week.
“We owe it to Tennesseans to ensure our congressional districts accurately reflect the will of Tennessee voters. After consultation with the Lt. Governor, Speaker of the house, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, I believe the General Assembly has a responsibility to review the map and ensure it remains fair, legal, and defensible,” he said in a report at Just the News.
The defensible part is significant, as the Supreme Court just days ago struck down a district in Louisiana that had been set up specifically on racial lines, being a “black” majority district.
That stunned Democrats who long have used racial preferences to fight for such districts, and brought into question a long list of districts across southern states that were based on that agenda.
Redistricting has been an issue since last year when Texas adopted map changes that would benefit Republicans. Missouri and North Carolina followed, so California responded with a politicized map that takes away some GOP leaning seats.

Pending now is a vote in Virginia where Democrats want 10 of the state’s 11 districts, a campaign that ex-President Barack Obama said would return “fairness” to elections there by giving the 49% of the state voting Republican only 9% of the state’s congressional delegation.
That fight is tied up in court now, where even the state’s own Supreme Court has been unable to go along with the leftist agenda so far.
Other states have their own plans in development.
In Tennessee, Lee said voters deserve districts that are “reflective representative” of the state’s politics.
In Alabama, Gov. Kay Ivey already has ordered a special session to address the issue, Florida already has approved new districts that would help the GOP, Louisiana is working to follow the Supreme Court’s guidance, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has suggested a review to make sure it’s following the court ruling, and more.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has announced a special session, but in Georgia, officials said the redistrict is needed but probably cannot be done before this year’s elections.
Analysts have confirmed that the Republican party likely will come out on top in the battle, even as it works to maintain the slim majority it holds in the House now.
The Supreme Court’s ruling narrowed the Voting Rights Act in its Louisiana v. Callais case.
The court ruling said the law, which bans states from imposing a voting qualification that results in any abridgement of the right of any citizen to vote “cannot be invoked to create race-conscious congressional maps.”
That’s a “dubious practice” that lawmakers have used for decades.
But the agenda to impose race-conscious map-making, including those “majority-minority” districts that are gerrymandered to give it a “black” majority, violates the 14th Amendment.
Commentator Josh Hammer concluded the ruling, and its fallout, will benefit Republicans in a number of states this year.
