I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

@BarackObama
Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.

We’re grateful to President @BarackObama for being in this fight with us and supporting our mission.

California is advancing a process that gives voters the final say on implementing new maps. 

This is a fair and responsible response to Trump’s unprecedented power grab.

D.C.’s rolling crime rate per 100,000 is at its lowest since before the pandemic, so the idea of deploying the National Guard is nonsense. The only spike in D.C. crime is coming from the White House, where a felon and his cronies are looting the nation in broad daylight.

To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.
