Crawling from the wreckage of the successful California redistricting vote that will likely make Golden State GOP representation in Washington, DC, almost extinct, Politico's Jeremy White reported Monday that party leaders in the state are desperately looking for a path forward. In response to President Donald Trump setting in motion redrawing of district boundary lines in Texas in order to acquire more Republican seats in the House in the 2026 midterms, California Gov. Gavin Newsom returned the favor with Prop. 50 that did the same for the Democrats in his already liberal state.

For months, the Trump administration has been accusing its political enemies of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence. President Donald Trump branded one foe who did so "deceitful and potentially criminal." He called another "CROOKED" on Truth Social and pushed the attorney general to take action. But years earlier, Trump did the very thing he's accusing his enemies of, records show. In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a "Bermuda style" home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence. In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence.
