This is quite a marker @TomSteyer is putting down on #ICE, from a Wednesday town hall: "We can prosecute people who commit violence against Californians & the people who send them to do it — not just the agents, but the people who send them to it." File that away if he wins
Given the narrowly split voter reaction to this redistricting effort & to Spanberger's first months in general-vs discontent w/Trump-even if it passes do Dems in fact get the 10-1 split, in your view?

If Spanberger had been a moderate as promised, and crammed a 7-3-1 map with regional integrity, down the throat of Louise Lucas, this thing would not be close & Va would go 8-3 D this year. But Spanberger is in fact not a moderate.
Notes here on Spanberger approval from our article: 1. Spanberger is more likely than not unpopular amongst registered VA voters / all VA adults. Her approval is even with a Spanberger +14 electorate. 2. Spanberger has lost a lot of ground with lowest-income voters but also has lost a lot of ground with high-income voters (though not as much as low-income). High income voters swinging hardest from voting Spanberger to voting No. statenavigate.org/va/state-navig…

"In Van Orden’s western WI district, Taylor won by double digits—running up astronomical percentages of the vote in more urban counties such as La Crosse (69%) & Eau Claire (68%) but also gaining ~60% in largely rural Grant, Crawford and Vernon counties"

Amazon's Melania movie deal looks like bribery, and reeks of desperation to please Donald Trump. The American people deserve answers now.
