Why? A. Trump hates to lose. B. Republicans are desperate to cling to power. C. Anything to distract from the Epstein files. D. ALL OF THE ABOVE
Today @TheJusticeDept sued @CAgovernor over his brazen Proposition 50 redistricting power grab. Newsom should be concerned about keeping Californians safe and shutting down Antifa violence, not rigging his state for political gain. https://t.co/Vi2WAS7VX4
