Gov. Newsom announces California moving ahead with redistricting.

Gavin Newsom just gave a live speech, with two Democratic Texas state representatives also speaking. This is a fiery presentation that I highly recommend. Newsom’s speech begins at the 4 minute mark.

I love how Newsom pushes trump’s buttons. It’s always clever, funny as hell and true. It’s a start, I’m happy for that.
