NOT!!! Please read up on Newsom's close affiliation with the Tech Nazis currently embedded in the Donnie Epstein regime. Newsom has vetoed bipartisan bills to regulate AI, social media, crypto and data centers. He opposes the Billionaire Tax, unlike Ro Khanna, who supports it. Newsom has accepted lots of money from Big Tech and he can in no way be trusted to work for or support effective, enforceable regulation of it. Newsom wants to join their club, not break it up.
Here is but one link that supports my comments, but there are many, many more. Don't be fooled by this poser, who is the former husband of Kimberly Guilfoyle, who later took up with Don Jr. himself: https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/is-gavin-newsom-progressive:
"California Governor Gavin Newsom has made headlines this winter by vowing to defeat a proposal for a one-time 5 percent tax on billionaires in the state. ... aligning with the ultra-wealthy is not auspicious for wooing the party’s voters. Last year, Reuters/Ipsos pollsters reported that a whopping *86 percent of Democrats* said 'changing the federal tax code so wealthy Americans and large corporations pay more in taxes should be a priority.' ”
" ...Newsom has drawn widespread praise for waging an aggressive war of words against President Trump. But few people outside of California know much about the governor’s actual record. Many Democratic voters will be turned off to learn that his fervent opposition to a billionaire tax is part of an overall political approach that has trended more and more corporate-friendly.
" ... A year ago, Newsom sent about 100 leaders of California-based companies a prepaid cell phone 'programmed with Newsom’s digits and accompanied by notes from the governor himself,' Politico reported. One note to the CEO of a big tech corporation said, 'If you ever need anything, I’m a phone call away.' *While pandering to business elites, Newsom has slashed budgets to assist the poor and near-poor with healthcare, housing and food—in a state where 7 million live under the official poverty line and child poverty rates are the highest in the nation.*
"The latest Newsom budget, released last month, continues his trajectory away from social compassion. 'The governor’s 2026-27 spending plan balances the budget by dodging the harsh realities of the Republican megabill, H.R. 1, and maintains state cuts to vital public supports, like Medi-Cal, enacted as part of the current-year budget,' the California Budget & Policy Center pointed out. 'Governor Newsom’s reluctance to propose meaningful revenue solutions to help blunt the harm of federal cuts undermines his posture to counter the Trump administration.' The statement said that the proposed budget 'will leave many Californians without food assistance and healthcare coverage.' ”
And Ben, PLEASE stop avoiding Newsom's record on these issues. Inform yourself of his voting record, who is funding his campaign, and stop giving nothing but softball interviews of him. Ask him these important questions NOW, well before the primaries. Otherwise, you just appear to be corporate media light instead of a truly independent media source. Why do you NEVER ask him about these facts???? Are you gonna let the same thing happen in 2028 that the Dem establishment did in 2016, when they pushed out Bernie in favor of Hillary, who then lost the election while the Bernie Bros who had supported Bernie went over to Trump?
HELL NO!!! I have never—and would never—vote for Trump or any member of the Nazi party. I see no way my points could be applied to trump/elon and the project 2025 bros. Please explain your second sentence, because I don't see even a remote connection. I am opposed to Newsom and all the tech broligarchs like Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Alex Karp, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, etc., etc., etc. that MAGA is in bed with.
My outrage is not misplaced. I'm trying to let you know who Newsom really is beyond his staff's very clever posts (which I thoroughly enjoyed, but that's not sufficient to make a good president). I live in CA and have followed his career for a long time, so I know what I'm talking about. If you research his record, you will see I'm not making this up. Sorry, but Big Tech is my #1 issue because these Nazis have the money, the power, the surveillance software, and the intent to destroy our democracy; they must be regulated and held accountable—and Newsom will never do that.
As of right now, Ro Khanna (if he runs), as I said above. He's genuine, smart, answers difficult questions directly, and has risked his political career by supporting the Billionaire tax that his own district—Silicon Valley—is spending LOTS of money to defeat. He got the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed when nobody thought he could. His grandfather worked for Gandhi in fighting for India's independence and spent 4 or 5 years in jail.
I like AOC for President but not at this time. Not enough experience yet. She’d be great as a Senator. Plus we’re not ready yet for a woman President. Maybe in 8-10 years.
The problem is our country is not ready for a woman President. It doesn't matter on what side. Women are undervalued and under appreciated and look at Epstein how he torchured women , abused them…no a woman will never make it.
Absolutely agree. Kamala Harris has it all. She has been a public servant most of her adult life, she's intelligent, she's well-spoken, she's in touch with the American people, but she's a woman, and a woman of color at that. I'm 68 and sadly, I don't think I'll see a woman in the WH in my lifetime. I mean 36% of Democratic voters stayed home and that's more unforgiving than those who came out and voted for trump.
Kamala was also a person of color. It was a one-two punch of racism, misogyny. She was, and still is, the most credentialed person to run for the office. Unfortunately, we didn’t hear much about her accomplishments as VP because she entered the race very late. I still question the swing state votes as accurate. I’m not election denying, but PA voted blue all the way down except for President. Didn’t make sense then, nor does it now
It doesn't make sense. Every swing state? By margins that are suspicious? Yeah, I am not an election denier either and I told people not to be like "them" but the more light is shed, the more it appears that there was something amiss.
I am 65 and I don't ever believe in my lifetime a woman will become President. If we aren't willing to bring these pedo criminals to justice all around the world but especially in the US then how could we ever expect that women will be treated with dignity and voted in any position of power. As long as people feel women are objects to be abused and tortured with such cruelty how could they ever be respected. It's mind boggling. Women need to come together as a massive force of every nationality and culture to change this wicked environment. Like become unionized! The fight is for our granddaughters!!
The SCOTUS ruling might have further implications with respect to Trump declaring emergencies to enact an unlawful and unconstitutional acts. Could be a positive sign for future attempts to run around the law.
Shout out to all the California residents!! I’m in San Diego. Where are you? I really feel for people who live in red states (or areas) — those who don’t want to be there. This quote from the article says so much about Trump’s fragile ego: “He was threatening other world leaders not to even meet with me,” Newsom said. “He’s a weak, weak president. And that weakness is on display globally now.”
Yes, Oak, I'm aware of your past critiques regarding Newsom that have not gone unnoticed and with today's as well-researched and thoughtfully-stated I am respectful of your point of view that gives pause for reflection. Though I empathize with the issues you raise I tend to look more to his overall appeal even as I agree with you about the !% taxation and I do cringe and despair regarding his approach to homelessness.
Thank you for your stated views. I'm obsessed with the MSNOW ad reciting the body of the 1st Amendment like a prayer to me stating the most important elements of our lives now more than ever.
Do you really think he will be overall appealing to the entire country? I see no way he'd ever get any former Trump voters on board—or any of the massive numbers of Bernie and AOC fans, for that matter. I do think someone like Ro Khanna could.
Newsom made a big public splash with his staff's posts (and I enjoyed them too), but if he's the candidate all his elitist baggage and voting record will do him serious damage in a national campaign and fail to draw a clear distinction between the Red and Blue parties. The public has had it with elites and billionaires, and he clearly aspires to be one more than to serve the underserved. Remember his French Laundry escapade? That was but one example. Regulating Big Tech is my #1 priority because they pose the biggest threat to democracy and civil liberties.
I appreciate your comments on Newsom. I’m still split about my thoughts on him being our President. I heard a content creator say that the people running Newsom’s social media are the ones who should be elected — not him.
I almost wish we could have a civilized, modern sort of Civil War where we could get all the parties to be in the same states/areas, so that the voting/decisions only affected them, and same for the benefit systems. I suppose it wouldn’t work for long because it is good to have different perspectives, but it would teach some much needed lessons to all of us. I published an article earlier today about how moving changed my perspective on so many things.
We must all understand during these small wins…. This is a man that does not give a damn about the American people and only cares about getting his own way. We have to understand that this entire demonically influenced corrupt antichrist regime if we want to save our country must be physically removed and sooner than later, or he will destroy the US. That is their mission him and the oligarch’s pulling all the puppet strings. I am baffled and how easy this has been for him for a self-serving idiot to ruin a superpower to ruin our face and self-respect in the world to harm the world, our allies and trade partners and cuddle up with criminal elements and be able to execute all this crap I mean, don’t we have the strongest military in the world and what the hell are they doing? we have fought fascism all around the globe but now it’s on our soil. What is our Congress doing and what is our military doing about it??
It could also be possible that DT has dyslexia too, as he seems to wander off reading speeches, he much prefers “winging it” and doesn’t like reading morning reports!
Article 2, Section 4 - We have to face reality, this entire fascist/racist/corrupt/misogynous regime, must be forced out!!
This regime is full of pedophiles and pedophile protectors. If audits were done on every member of this government, the ones in the White House would be charged with many financial crimes, as well as, sexual assault charges. High crimes and misdemeanors, treason. IMHO.
Allegedly, Homeland security is buying incinerators to put in the detention centers! Please investigate and report. Thank you! This is so far beyond the line. Can someone please stop this government from ruining the country any further!
Love our Gov of the great State of CA!
I really like this man! I wish our president sounded like that
U.S. too! A northern neighbor!
YES! Sounds like a great leader to me - Newsom for President!
Canada agrees. Please remove the orange creature. This man sounds like a President to us.
Only pedophiles love Trump and cover up for the Orange One. I didn't like Trump even when he was going broke at that gambling place.

You vote for trump? All your above rants can be applied to trump/elon &
the project 2025 bros! This is where we are and this is where your misplaced
outrage should lay! With the 4th largest economy in the world, there comes
some unpopular concessions!
HELL NO!!! I have never—and would never—vote for Trump or any member of the Nazi party. I see no way my points could be applied to trump/elon and the project 2025 bros.

So, who do you support for President. Bernie is too old. We really need younger people.
As of right now, Ro Khanna (if he runs), as I said above. He's genuine, smart, answers difficult questions directly, and has risked his political career by supporting the Billionaire tax that his own district—Silicon Valley—is spending LOTS of money to defeat. He got the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed when nobody thought he could. His grandfather worked for Gandhi in fighting for India's independence and spent 4 or 5 years in jail.
Right On Governor Newsom…
i too would love to see Newsom as our US President
I wouldn't mind AOC, myself.
I’d take Pinocchio. At least we’d know when he’s lying. 🤥
You can tell when trump is lying. When he opens his mouth a lie spurts out.
True!!! 🤣🤣
You can tell when Trump is lying. Anytime his lips are moving.
I like AOC for President but not at this time. Not enough experience yet. She’d be great as a Senator. Plus we’re not ready yet for a woman President. Maybe in 8-10 years.
I'm ready for a woman President right now.
The problem is our country is not ready for a woman President. It doesn't matter on what side. Women are undervalued and under appreciated and look at Epstein how he torchured women , abused them…no a woman will never make it.

It doesn't make sense. Every swing state? By margins that are suspicious? Yeah, I am not an election denier either and I told people not to be like "them" but the more light is shed, the more it appears that there was something amiss.
There was definitely interference in the voting of the swing states. No doubt about it. Why didn't she ask for recounts? That is what puzzles me.
I am 65 and I don't ever believe in my lifetime a woman will become President. If we aren't willing to bring these pedo criminals to justice all around the world but especially in the US then how could we ever expect that women will be treated with dignity and voted in any position of power.

I'm NOT. Please read my reply to Aurelia Navarro above for a partial explanation.
Americans want their tariff refunds!!
good luck
I can hope and dream, right? 🙂
How about We the People DEMAND it?
See where that gets you.
Nothing like giving up before you even try.
Don't hold your breath! We'll never see a dime of that money.
Like I said above, we can hope and dream, right? These days, I need a glass half-full mentality. 🇺🇸
The SCOTUS ruling might have further implications with respect to Trump declaring emergencies to enact an unlawful and unconstitutional acts. Could be a positive sign for future attempts to run around the law.
Let us pray..

SD here too!
Just outside enjoying the beautiful day…
He is also a very cunning and dangerous man not to be dismissed lightly.
We're here Ashley!
Wish we the people in prosperous n well governed blue state could tell poorly governed red states to FO!
I almost wish we could have a civilized, modern sort of Civil War where we could get all the parties to be in the same states/areas, so that the voting/decisions only affected them, and same for the benefit systems. I suppose it wouldn’t work for long because it is good to have different perspectives, but it would teach some much needed lessons to all of us.

Hi Ashley.. SF here. Beautiful day & we can’t wait till baseball season!
We Love Our Governor Newsom, He’s A Great Leader and An Excellent Man By Example To Be Our President!
NOT. Please read my reply to Aurelia Navarro above for a partial explanation.
Excellent Governor Newsom!
Newsom in 2028!!!
NOT. Please read my reply to Aurelia Navarro above for a partial explanation.
Good decision by the SCOTUS (finally). Trump will never pay tariffs back and I don't think the court addressed that.
Scott Bessent sucks.
Question: RE: Where did Trump get the 10 billion for the Board of Peace. Was there Congressional approval?
I think he’s counting on his pending lawsuit with the IRS for free cash. Albeit, taxpayer funded. Gee, that’s for $10 billion, right?
I would love to see Newsom and Trump in a debate. Newsom would mop the floor with him.
That would be an awesome idea, but as you stated Gov Newsom would “mop the floor” with DT.
I would love to see Newsom and Ro Khanna in a debate. Please read my reply to Aurelia Navarro above for a partial explanation.

What is our Congress doing and what is our military doing about it??
I believe we have a fascist (Miller) in the White House and dt is his puppet.
I contacted my senators in Georgia and encouraged them to boycott the State of the Union Speech.
Did not know Newsom was dyslexic. So, when is President Orange Snake (POS) going to make fun of him. Though I very much doubt POS can even read.
It could also be possible that DT has dyslexia too, as he seems to wander off reading speeches, he much prefers “winging it” and doesn’t like reading morning reports!
No, Trump suffers from dementia. He wanders off because his mind is going. That is not a symptom of dyslexia.
And he has zero understanding of math.
Article 2, Section 4 - We have to face reality, this entire fascist/racist/corrupt/misogynous regime, must be forced out!!
