Trump says Putin agreed to the BIL talks, to be followed by a trilateral meeting, including Trump following a phone call he placed to the Russian leader Monday.

Latest somewhat unlikely areas. For example, one district would include communities in Modoc county all the way up north near the Oregon border with Marin county, which is way down near San Francisco. Those are two very politically different regions, and under this proposal, they'd have the same congressional representative.
