Oh, also, despite having been defeated on the citizenship question on the census in SCOTUS, the Trump Administration is taking another crack at it.

Issued an Executive Order that seeks to prevent undocumented immigrants from being included in the count for Congressional reapportionment. Having been barred from having the census ask the question they're trying to rely on a previous EO that sought to collect data on the numbers here.

Thread on it here examining the legal argument the Administration is likely to make, the legal questions that would likely be challenged to throw this out, and the potential issues that challenging it at all could face: https://twitter.com/MikeSacksEsq/status/1285610168479363072

Unless the argument is that they can change apportionment within, but not between, states.
