So Trump pushes GOP states to gerrymander themselves into one-party rule and then when other states respond, his DOJ sues them and them alone for it. Gimme a break.

This number is completely made up. There are not 30 million undocumented immigrants. The most recent estimates are around 14 million, of which roughly 8 million people have been here for over a decade.
Vance is not a fool. He knows this. DHS produces official estimates. They don’t say 30 million.

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."

you could put it like that or you could put it like this: Billionaire Financier And Convicted Pedophile Says He "Gave" Woman To President Of The United States
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.
