   California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the 3-measure package on mid-   
   decade Congressional redistricting: Senate Bill 280, Assembly   
   Constitutional Amendment 8, and Assembly Bill 604. ACA 8 will put a   
   measure on the Nov. 4 ballot that would redraw the state’s congressional   
   map to favor Democrats, ostensibly in response to Texas redistricting   
   efforts.   
      
   As the Globe noted Thursday during Assembly floor debate on ACA 8, Trump   
   Derangement Syndrome is on full display today in the California Assembly.   
   Accusations of “Trump is a fascist,” to “Trump is an authoritarian,” to   
   Trump is a threat to Democracy,” “Trump is destroying the health care   
   system,” to “Trump is the reason my golf game sucks,” were expressed by   
   nearly all Democrats who spoke on the bills.

   The vote to pass ACA 8 was entirely along partisan lines, Democrats 57,   
   Republicans 20. The Senate passed it in a 30–8 vote. Gov. Newsom signed   
   ACA 8 into law shortly after.

   But the floor discussion/debate became tedious. Worse than tedious.   
   Pabulum. The “Trump is to blame for everything” exposes that Democrats   
   have nothing to offer the people, and must blame someone for their own   
   failure to read the room, and their complete disconnect with 40 million   
   Californians.   
      
   “Assembly passes ACA 8, 57-20 to place redistricting on the November   
   ballot. Remember these votes,” I posted on X.   
      
   The session was fraught with partisan antics from the Democrat   
   supermajority.   
      
   “Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-San Diego) called SB 280 a political stunt to   
   prop up Gavin Newsom’s presidential campaign. Says Dems can’t win on the   
   truth. He has a point. SB 280 calls a statewide special election November   
   4, 2025 for ACA 8, which allows a mid-decade redistricting, setting aside   
   the voter approved California Redistricting Commission.”

   “Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher is telling Democrats to stop   
   claiming Democracy is over. And he’s exposing their actions. ‘in order to   
   save Democracy we must dismantle it’ he says they are doing, “which always   
   led to despotism and authoritarianism – you are giving away power that   
   belongs to the people.’ Of course, Democrats cut his mic. Then lectured   
   him on proper decorum in the Assembly.”

   “In order to save Democracy we must dismantle it.”   
      
   Gallagher is right.   
      
   “Assemblyman David Tangipa warns that SB 280 is a bill that no one wants,   
   and is political gamesmanship. It does not address the cost of housing in   
   CA, or the lack of hospital care in his district, or any of the issues   
   important to Californians.”

   Tangipa is also right.   
      
   As the Globe reported:   
      
   Elections Committee Chairwoman Assemblywoman Gail Pellerin (D-Santa Cruz),   
   a former elections official, who yesterday said Democrats are “building   
   the most transparent process in the country,” cut the microphone of the   
   Vice Chairwoman Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo (R-Tulare) when she asked   
   who drew the proposed gerrymandered Congressional maps.   
      
   Assemblyman Tangipa asked about all of the co-authors on the bill who may   
   have a vested interest in the newly drawn maps. He then proposed   
   amendments to ACA 8 stating that any member of the legislature who votes   
   for the ACA cannot run for Congress in any of the newly proposed   
   congressional districts.   
      
   Vice Chairwoman Macedo expressed untold frustration to Chairwoman Pellerin   
   that she was given only a few minutes to ask her questions of the bill   
   presenter Assemblyman Marc Berman, standing in for the bill’s author,   
   Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. Chairwoman Pellerin cut off Macedo’s   
   questions as well as Tangipa’s, and repeated ad nauseam, “I have allowed   
   you plenty of times to ask your questions,” and then screamed, “Mr.   
   Tangipa, you are out of order” several times, and cut his mic when he   
   insisted there were many more questions that needed answers. “We are done   
   with questions,” Chairwoman Pellerin declared.   
      
   Tangipa posted on X:   
      
   My mic was shut off. We don’t know who drew the maps. I was told “because   
   I say so” is acceptable. And I had <24 hrs to get answers for 40M   
   Californians. If they won’t give transparency, we’ll find it. Sunlight is   
   the best disinfectant—time to expose Sacramento.   
      
   “I just signed the Election Rigging Response Act to put Proposition 50 up   
   for a vote on November 4th,” Newsom posted to X. “The people of California   
   will have the power to push back against Texas and any other state that   
   obeys @realDonaldTrump‘s demand to rig the next election.”   
      
   “Democrats acted to solely benefit personal political ambitions. The   
   facade about it being about other states came down when they removed the   
   ‘trigger mechanism’ that this scheme would only take effect in response to   
   actions in other states,” Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale), who is a   
   target of Democrats for redistricting, said in a statement. “Even more,   
   the fact that the Democrats in the legislature refuse to acknowledge who   
   drew these maps should make clear to anyone that this is crafted for   
   termed-out state legislators to have tailor made seats in Congress, not   
   equal representation. No one can look at these maps—one with a district   
   spreading from Modoc to Marin, another shaped like a giant elephant with a   
   trunk to bring in downtown Sacramento with Tahoe, or sticking Lassen and   
   Plumas counties way over on the Nevada border with Santa Rosa in a coastal   
   county—and say they appear credible. Do you really think the former senior   
   environmental lawyer for NRDC is going to protect or represent ranchers,   
   farmers, or water users?”   
      
   Gov. Newsom and California Democrats could live to rue the day they put   
   this on the November ballot. And because they won’t read the room, it’s   
   all they have.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
