Some daring pilots took to the friendly skies over the capitals of Democratic-led states Monday with a three-word taunt meant to troll President Donald Trump and Texas Republicans, according to HuffPost.

Several planes were spotted over Albany, New York; Springfield, Illinois; and Annapolis, Maryland, while trailing banners that said simply, “Mess with Texas.”

Planes towing the message were also seen over Augusta, Maine; Trenton, New Jersey; and Sacramento, California, Politico reported.

2. WTF?

Maryland has eight Congressional districts, seven of which are represented by Democrats. Our 1st Congressional district encompasses our entire Eastern Shore, a thoroughly Red district. It is not possible to gerrymander it.

3. Andy Harris is a ass.................and complete and utter ass, this district will be smaller in the near future.......

if Texas does what they are doing.................... Harris district will shrink..........substantially...............Maryland can get at least two more districts out of his district..........he has done absolutely nothing for this district nothing.......... the last time he had a town hall was in 2023.............again he is a ass.............he is more worried about "his" health care than yours's and mine............

4. You're absolutely correct about Andy Harris.

You’re wrong about carving up the 1st District into thirds. It would make no difference. These counties have been the reddest in the state. In my lifetime Klan rallies have been held on the Eastern Shore. No
amount of carving up this district would withstand a court ruling.

5. We will try..........Harris is still and will always be ass............and to think he is a doctor................
