\tGavin Newsom wants an election in a hurry on his gerrymander. Here\u2019s what has to happen<\/a>
\nBy Maya C Miller| CalMatters<\/p>\n

Calling a statewide special election sounds simple in theory. But executing one with fewer than 75 days notice? As one California county election official put it, that\u2019s a \u201cherculean\u201d effort.<\/p>\n

California voting officials are scrambling behind the scenes to prepare for the special election Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom<\/a>\u00a0wants this November on his proposal to\u00a0redraw the state\u2019s congressional districts<\/a>. But to do so, Newsom needs voters to approve a ballot initiative in an off-year special election that the state has yet to officially approve and schedule.<\/p>\n

Democrats want the proposed California maps to offset President Donald Trump and Republicans\u2019 efforts to stack the next congressional election in the GOP\u2019s favor by squeezing more Republican seats out of red states like Texas, Florida and Missouri.<\/p>\n

Nice Economy \u2013 If You Can Keep It<\/a>
\nBy Jim Hinch | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

San Diego\u2019s economy is the size of some small countries. But it\u2019s a country under threat.<\/p>\n

On paper, San Diego County is a picture of prosperity. If the county were its own nation, its $315 billion gross domestic product would rank among the world\u2019s 50 largest economies.<\/p>\n

Yet, across the region, businesses are putting on the brakes and worried about the future.\u00a0The\u00a0reason? New federal trade and immigration policies threaten to choke off what once seemed like San Diego\u2019s unique competitive advantage:\u00a0Its\u00a0intertwined economic relationship with its southern neighbor, Mexico.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m watching Trump unite Europe while the media pretends it\u2019s falling apart<\/a>
\nBy\u00a0Mark Penn | Fox News<\/p>\n

The headlines were all over the news sites. Trump to push for concessions to the Russians. President Donald Trump got nothing from the Alaska Summit. Trump handing over a win to Putin. European leaders are coming to woo Trump. One headline after another dissing the president and his attempt to bring world powers together for peace in Ukraine. News analysts managed to find a negative angle to every single aspect of the attempted negotiations.<\/p>\n

The reality is obviously different, and the headlines would have been different with just about any other president. Imagine if Nobel Peace Prize-winning President Barack Obama had pulled off meetings with all the combatants directly and in record time. The headlines would have been fawning in admiration, calling for a second Nobel Prize. But that\u2019s not what happened. In fact, President Obama sat idly by while Russia rolled into Crimea in March 2014 \u2013 the real beginning of the problem. The Russian reset never happened. The red lines were crossed with impunity as the American deterrence withered.<\/p>\n
