At the beginning of August, Trump took to social media and informed the world he had instructed the Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on “a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024.” Most notably, he wrote, “People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS.” If Trump has his way, it will have significant repercussions on how Congressional districts could be drawn, even as Texas leads the pack and has already approved a new congressional map – leading to a very public walkout by Texas Senate Democrats and CA Gov Gavin Newsom's retaliatory threat to redraw California's congressional map. There's also a SCOTUS angle here, as the Supreme Court squashed the citizenship question pertaining to the 2020 census when it came up in 2019. Now, CRC has learned that some hefty lefty funding is going into an effort to push a narrative on the census that runs counter to the Trump administration's and is designed to last for the next 10 years to cover the 2030 census. And one prominent name in the mix is our old friend The Funders Committee for Civic Participation. Here to discuss are my colleagues, Mike Watson, and the President of CRC, Scott Walter.

She also describes the best candidates to look at for the 2028 Election, and why Governors may be the best bet for the Democratic Party as they look to move beyond both the Biden administration era. I Wish Someone Had Told Me: As youth voters grow more concerned with the state of the U.S. economy, Yemisi explains why Democrats need to change their messaging tactics when appealing to younger generations.

Economy Gavin Newsom Panics as California EV Sales Plummet Despite Authoritarian Mandate California's electric vehicle (EV) push under Governor Gavin Newsom faces mounting challenges as sales figures reveal a persistent slowdown, despite the state's aggressive efforts to enforce a ban on new gas-powered cars by 2035. With results suffering ahead of a September deadline, reports indicate he is “panicking.” Recent data shows that EV registrations in the second quarter of 2025 barely edged up from the previous quarter, while dropping significantly compared to the same period last year, raising questions about the viability of mandates that override consumer choice The California Energy Commission reported that 100,671 zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) were registered from April to June, accounting for 21.6% of new vehicle sales. This figure represents a modest increase from the first quarter's 100,326 but a notable decline from the 116,813 seen in the second quarter of 2024. Overall, the state's ZEV market share has trended downward, slipping from 25.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 23% in the first quarter of 2025 before hitting its current low. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported: These trends persist even as federal incentives, including a $7,500 tax credit for new EVs and $4,000 for used ones, are set to expire on September 30, 2025.

McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months.
