Democrats are focused on the fact that the map has opened up as the GOP gerrymandering effort is backfiring. Trump pushed Abbott to cheat and even a Trump appointed judge said not so fast. Now it looks like Republicans won’t gain any seats, and Prop 50 could actually give

So there you go, the SouthCom Commander who resigned, the Brits, the French, and even the legal people in SouthCom. Pretty damn telling.
