MISSOURI: Missouri Republicans have passed a new congressional map, locking in a 7–1 GOP advantage. It’s blatant gerrymandering that weakens the voices of urban and minority voters, silencing opposition to cement power. GOP leaders defend it as “reflecting the state.”

Gov. Pritzker TORCHES Trump:
“Earlier today, Donald Trump asked me to say ‘Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city.’

Agree? 👇👀

How long will Trump keep hiding the truth?
