Fresh off a major press conference, the California governor lays out his plan to stop Trump from sabotaging the 2026 midterms in an interview with MeidasTouch
Well, then let's start reaching out to all the blue dots that are feeling the heat in red neighborhoods. I find participating in Black the System is a wonderful way to support change. ~j
Ohioan here. We used to be a swing state and how Ohioans voted was who won the presidency. We voted twice for Obama. But now thanks to the GOP gerrymandering and cheating, purging and only having one drop box in each county and the fact that citizens put forth a bill to abolish gerrymandering, Democrats in the state fought back. But Republicans changed the language of the bill at the last minute. Was a Yes vote Yes, or was Yes really No? The amendment FAILED. Ohio and its large swaths of rural farm land is now considered a Red state. But every major city, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, all are BLUE dots with Democrat Mayors and City Councils. Ohio IS the “heart of it all.” And Democrats, Independents, Progressives, and disgusted Republicans MUST VOTE OUT every single complicit MAGA in 2026 and 2028.
Washington has a guy named Joe Kent who is a MAGA/Fox buttlicker in the worst way. He’s got to be politically neutralized because he’d go full fascist in a heartbeat. Has no qualms about inflicting harm and suffering on his fellow Americans, based on his public statements.
Oh - and Trump made him the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. As a former CIA spook who lost his wife in a terror attack, Kent surely won’t go overboard, right? 😳
I mean on a non-stop daily basis. Would love to see every state leader lock in together as a united front. Much love and respect for Newsome regardless
I just hope that other Blue States fight back like the great California. Let's fight fire with fire and take back our country! Redistricting is the answer that we have been waiting for. Governor Newsom has called this BULLY down to a fight.
"California will not sit idle as Donald Trump and Republicans take a wrecking ball to our democracy." Let's go Newsom!
Can't wait to wear this "Don't poke the bear" t-shirt 👇
I guess you haven’t heard the news about the Democrats in Texas that have left the state so gerrymandering is not allowed. . I guess you haven’t kept up with the news. It’s all over sub stack.
Thank you for all of your hard work and keeping us informed! You make this time-period much more bearable and tolerable. Gavin Newsom fighting back against Trump and Gerrymandering is doing my hard heart so much good. ❤️
Absolutely!! Just imagine that the NG will be “stationed” across the nation…..this is exactly why we NEED three equally strong branches to allow democracy to survive! The nation could really use some chest compressions now!
There is not enough military to establish martial law. We have approximately 20 divisions of about 3,500 personnel per division. However, I think that the military would deploy in a lackasical manner, much like the parade! They aren't stupid, and a citizen bringing out some warm muffins for them really clinched that.
I’m not even American but all the same just love watching how perfect-posture Gavin Newsom never fails to dominate over the slouch and slob that is donald trump. In every way Newsom dominates him whenever they’re meeting together
Thank you to Governor Newsom for standing up for Democracy and having the courage to fight fire with fire! Now it’s Governor Hochul of New York turn to join the fight for our democracy.
The American Revolution 2.0 is not what we think it’s going to look like As the saying goes “follow the money”
Both the Nazi Party and Democratic “establishment” ie DNC are living in their worlds of shameless cruelty and hypocritical people speak respectively One brazenly shameless wealthy immorally obtuse to their actions who feels they can get away with anything and the other speaking of a party of the people on the one hand and on the other kowtowing to wealthy donors to keep the ship afloat “Party of the people” falls on deaf ears when genocide is ignored(Jewish propaganda machine effect) or lack of taxation of the wealthy is not mentioned out of fear of sugar daddy retribution Let’s get real, THE DOLLAR RULES IN AMERICAN POLITICS NOT MORALITY
But at the heart of a functional democracy is and has always been WE the People and with the ever growing lively protests across the country WE the People are done with the immoral wealthy(oligarchs) and hypocritical clueless Democratic party which doesn’t really know how to interpret this rising of the WE the People movement
Witness Zohran Mamdani articulating a new path forward in bucking the Democratic “establishment” and WE the People are standing up with a resonating voice It’s time to stop the immoral wealthy and the disaffected hypocritical clueless Democratic “establishment” WE the People are standing for a more just equitable charitable moral way of being a nation It’s French Revolution 2.0 baby, 21st century style!!
It’s Nazi and Republican Party i.e. GOP. Because of them and your boss, your fearless leader, Orange boy our country is in turmoil. Maybe you don’t like facing the reality but that’s what truly is happening and the shameless cruelty is within the Republican Party number 45 and 47 your Cheeto boss. Is a pedophile. A rapist thinks women are good for only one thing.. . Just look around the country the turmoil that your Republican Party has caused.. . The day will come with his current administration and all the Republicans will be gone. I can’t wait and you’ll face the music 9-1
Quick to judge the Dems will not solve our problem!, instead we need to strengthen and encourage them because they are outnumbered…especially with big money corporations who support Trump…so let’s not beat them up but help them win to overcome the Fascist Regime…They need our backing till 2026 midterms because anything else people are use to what they’re familiar with an American Revolution is better received…
From recent experience the DNC seems to be aligning with protesters who represent WE the People This is not about 3rd party but how to force the DNC to create a platforrm for the people
actually the Republicans did rig the election.....check out Greg Palast's Vigilante Inc...he relates Harris would have won had it not been for disenfranchising register voters in his investigative reporting https://bit.ly/3DM7d3F
barely, the electoral college is outmoded as well, another reform Dems need to seriously tackle. They must get a huge majority in the House in 26 and maybe a slim chance for Senate?, and take the bull S by the horns as a serious reform party vs this fantasy cosplay President conning himself he's not a total phony and failure. I liked how Newsom called Trump out on his flailing desperate attempts to "govern".
I just got the propaganda letter from SSA/Bisignano. It’s offensive to use a Govt agency to spread disinformation. Took me all of 5 minutes to have ChatGPT analyze and summarize the misleading and out of context statements. And one big lie re taxes. This needs more press
Do you mean the announcement that was sent after passage of the big ugly bill that indicated Social Security would no longer be taxed which was completely false? The bill TEMPORARILY increased the deduction for persons over 65 who meet the financial requirements. This does not equate to “no taxes on your social security” which, by the way, was income that was taxed the year it was earned.
You’re right I don’t see you planning to do the music on 9-1. If you’re involved, you’ll understand if not, what can I say you’re with the opposing side?
He better call Oregon and Washington and get them in on this too…
We must fight fire with fire. All blue state governors should help kick fascists out of the House. Let's keep protesting in the streets and singing the no kings anthem together: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-kings-anthem
100 percent.
I’m with you on that! No kings!
As a Washington state resident, I was wondering when someone would remember the PNW.
This country has 2 coasts. I think there are many who want to join the fight to save democracy NOW.

Yes, well, many of us blue dots in the red heartland don't want to be left as fly-over country, either.

Yes he’s from Vancouver, WA! Total MAGA!
Me too - except the MAGA part. He’s dangerous.
I certainly hope it works! He’s a CONVICTED felon and pedo! Also he wants a dictatorship! He’s a cancer on America!!!
This is awesome but where are the rest of the state DEM leaders!?!?!
I mean on a non-stop daily basis. Would love to see every state leader lock in together as a united front. Much love and respect for Newsome regardless
I read today where the Illinois, New York and Maryland governors also Michigan governor Whitmire have a plan, too, also gerrymander there states.
Yes!
I just hope that other Blue States fight back like the great California. Let's fight fire with fire and take back our country! Redistricting is the answer that we have been waiting for. Governor Newsom has called this BULLY down to a fight.

Give it time…

Democrats outnumbered. . Hopefully midterms will turn that around.
Go Get him Gavin! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Up to CA voters to support (with Nov 2025 votes).
Other Dem Governors will need the FULL support of their states' voters too.
Thank you Gavin Newsom!
Thank you for all of your hard work and keeping us informed! You make this time-period much more bearable and tolerable. Gavin Newsom fighting back against Trump and Gerrymandering is doing my hard heart so much good. ❤️
I expect Trump to declare an “emergency” so he can cancel the midterms.
Correct they have contingency plans and many methods to use. We can't count on our military to protect us,so we have to get this right the first time.
I agree!
Absolutely!! Just imagine that the NG will be “stationed” across the nation…..this is exactly why we NEED three equally strong branches to allow democracy to survive! The nation could really use some chest compressions now!
There is not enough military to establish martial law. We have approximately 20 divisions of about 3,500 personnel per division. However, I think that the military would deploy in a lackasical manner, much like the parade! They aren't stupid, and a citizen bringing out some warm muffins for them really clinched that.
Newsom laid it out plain: the moment Democrats retake the House in 2026, Trump’s presidency is effectively over.
DAMN, that sounds so Good!
Kick ass Gov Newsom.
And keep in mind, Gavin is running for President 2028. I agree with Gov Newsom, however.
FIRST THINGS FIRST. This redistrict vote is Nov 2025. Then the USA mid terms in 2026.
We, as a country, have a looooooong way to go... to make sure there IS a free & fair election in 2028/transfer of power in Jan 2029..
And NO dictator. And NO dt trying to run for unconstitutional 3rd term (in ever more deranged condition).
USA has months & years of serious Constitutional damage to fight down.
SUPPORT California.
CONTACT everyday your own US Governors, for similar election this year.
Most likely, but is that confirmed?
I’m not even American but all the same just love watching how perfect-posture Gavin Newsom never fails to dominate over the slouch and slob that is donald trump. In every way Newsom dominates him whenever they’re meeting together

With Russia Help same as in 2016, 2020
Time for a new E.R.R.A. !!
Thank you, Gavin, for standing up and defending our democracy!

New letter today which included that
Please call Colorado and New Mexico, too.
Faith without works won’t save democracy.
You’re right I don’t see you planning to do the music on 9-1. If you’re involved, you’ll understand if not, what can I say you’re with the opposing side?
