The DOJ is suing California over Prop 50, saying it's a "brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process."
Nothing mocks democracy like a president ordering red states to gerrymander while prosecuting a blue state for letting its voters decide.

It's not a coincidence that pretty much all of Trump's political opponents are being accused of the same thing by the unethical attorneys now doing his bidding at DOJ. It's the Department of Injustice now.

But it's FNC and they are not real journalists. They don't fact check, let alone in real time.
you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
