🔥 Trump is frantic.

That’s why he is steering the national conversation toward culture wars to bury the Epstein files while Democratic legislators from Texas, backed by state leaders in California, Illinois, and New York, are risking fines, arrests, and political exile to stop GOP power grabs over redistricting.
