Either Nevada is now the entire USA, California had seceded or @BBCBreaking needs better maps https://t.co/EDebWkJeqz pic.twitter.com/518zgJTamv

Does the BCC know something we don’t?
@BBCBreaking I always knew California would secede from the union at some point…

Update:
They changed it for a follow-up tweet:
