With 14 words and 30 seconds to spare, we’ve filed our 13,986-word Opposition to Gov. Newsom’s appeal of our trial victory. He has 10 days to respond then it’s in the court’s hands.

Replying to @JoshHarder
You did NOTHING @RepJoshHarder! @POTUS fulfilled yet another of his core campaign promises despite Democrats like you trying to resist & sabotage America at every turn. @SpeakerPelosi ensured you serve only 1 term. Bye!
