Collin Allred (D-Dallas) won a 3rd term in Congress with 66.2% of the vote in 2022.  He recently announced that he is challenging Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

The Republican lawmakers in charge of drawing the maps stuck Texas’ two new congressional districts—awarded thanks to the state’s booming population—near Austin and Houston. These maps will change some before they’re final, but probably not much. The state Legislature is now free of the oversight that, on Texas’ last redistricting go-round, led a federal court to rule the state’s voting maps discriminated against Black and Latino voters.

According to overlord David Zaslav, CNN "is on a great journey"

 
Excerpt:  Variety, 5/5/2023

Slate, 5/11/2023
In the years since Donald Trump first descended the escalator at his eponymous tower to rail against Mexicans while launching his campaign for president, he has shown himself to be a liar, a sociopath, a bigot, and a demagogue. He was impeached twice, criminally indicted, and found liable in civil court for sexually abusing an advice columnist in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. He fostered a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol after lying about the results of the 2020 presidential election, continues to lie about the outcome of said election, and is being criminally investigated in Georgia on charges related to his efforts to overturn said election. He hoarded classified documents at his Florida home and ignored subpoenas to return them. He has a history of coddling and emulating dictators around the world. He lies as easily as he breathes, about pretty much everything.  
He also happens to be the leading candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and that fact was all it took for CNN to ignore literally everything else and give Trump a full hour live Wednesday night as part of a breathtakingly ill-conceived “town hall” with New Hampshire voters.
