A three judge panel has upheld Proposition 50, the California redistricting initiative. By a 2-1 vote, it rejected the Republican's request for a preliminary injunction enjoining the new districts (a Trump-appointed judge dissented).

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

If a Democrat had said things like this about Charlie Kirk's murder, you-know-who would have called for his imprisonment, or worse.
