Democrats Get Cooked Over Redistricting Hypocrisy

Democrats all over the country are telling legislatures to f*ck the rules, do whatever it takes, forget the constitution , and redraw Republicans out.

 

 

Over the weekend, reporters called Democrats out for their brazen hypocrisy:

•NBC to Fatcat Governor JB Pritzker: Every group that grades the fairness of congressional maps gives Illinois an F and says it’s a “perfect model of everything that can go wrong with redistricting.”

•Fox to Unpopular Governor Kathy Hochul: “It was only 3 years ago that New York’s Democrat legislature drew up a map so brazenly contemptuous of basic rules. The New York Times … called those maps comically contorted.”

•News Nation to Representative David Min: If California Dems’ map “were to go into effect, there would only be 3 Republicans out of 52 seats … That’s a pretty wild number .”

Democrats aren’t trying to “save democracy,” they’re trying to rig the game against Republicans.

 


 

 

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Continues the Suspension of the Heightened Tariffs on China

 

CONTINUING THE SUSPENSION OF HEIGHTENED TARIFFS ON CHINA: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order continuing the suspension of heightened tariffs on China. This action is necessary to facilitate ongoing and productive discussion with China about remedying trade imbalances, unfair trade practices, expanding market access for American exports, and aligning with the United States on national security and economic matters.

  • The United States and China have engaged in multiple rounds of productive negotiations to address trade reciprocity and national security concerns.
  • The United States will therefore maintain the suspension of heightened tariffs on Chinese imports, as outlined in Executive Order 14298, until November 10, 2025.
  • The current 10% reciprocal tariff remains in effect during this suspension period.
    • The 10% reciprocal tariff sets a fair baseline to encourage domestic production, strengthen our supply chains, and ensure that American trade policy supports American workers first, instead of undercutting them.
    • Other U.S. tariff measures with respect to China will remain in place.
  • The United States will continue trade talks with China to promote fair trade practices and support American workers.

WORKING TOWARDS BALANCED TRADE: President Trump is taking action that he deems necessary to address the national emergency involving our growing and persistent trade deficit with foreign trading partners, such as China, and the consequences of that deficit. President Trump is ensuring that our trade policy works for the American economy, levels the playing field for American workers and producers, and strengthens America’s defense industrial base.

  • For too long, unfair trade practices and America’s massive trade deficit with China have fueled the offshoring of American jobs and the decline of our manufacturing sector.
  • President Trump is ensuring economic cooperation between two of the largest economies in order to protect American interests, stop unfair trade practices, and strengthen America’s domestic manufacturing base.
  • The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $295.4 billion in 2024—the largest with any trading partner. On an annual basis, this deficit is already decreasing substantially.
  • The U.S. and China are working to address these imbalances to deliver real, lasting benefits to American workers, farmers, and businesses.

CONTINUING PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS: The United States and China are committed to ongoing negotiations to resolve trade disputes and strengthen economic ties.

  • Trade discussions with China have been constructive following the Administration’s announcement of many successful trade deals.
  • Each round of negotiations with the Chinese has built on each other, further strengthening economic cooperation and implementation to work toward fair and balanced trade with a key trading partner.

•President Trump: “We’re getting along with China very well.”
