What Newsom needs to do is now is put the responsibility in the hands of California republicans. They're the ones that should go to Texas and plead with them not to do this because they're going to lose their jobs. Let the CA republicans do the work it's their corrupt party that's trying to cheat.

That’s not what Trump wants to distract you from. That’s only incompetence.

Time to think about primaries? Do the constituents who voted for them think the elected representative would fight for them? Do they have buyer's remorse?

They have the CA redistricting plan as their balance. if TX does go through with this, CA is right behind them to counter.

That CA plan has to be approved by Californian officials first, so it’s not as easy as it sounds.

CA doesn’t need TX’s permission. They need just grow a pair and do it.

too bad they weren't in it for the long haul, but it seems to have spurred California's Newsom to hold a special election on Redistricting, which may be the reason they returned to be allow TX redistricting to pass, to justify, and energize CA and NY, OR, IL, MI, WA, PA etc to redistrict
