I get the impression that Newsom is angling for a job at Fox or CNN when he leaves office. Guessing that either one of them would give him a $5,000,000 annual salary.
So why is he still being given air time and appearing on
platforms to say what?
Ca is no longer Golden thanks to him
he challenged Trump enough wanting to be in the presidential race
that Trump went to CA to turn on water that was wasted!
Any sane person agrees with this. The Democratic Party is not sane and they’re living in their own world. They do not care for our reality and what we are facing. It’s always status quo with them.
Senator Chris Murphy (CT) has been doing a great job speaking out, but he doesn’t seem to get any traction. Is he too bland? On paper he seems to have good credentials.
Send me a link to your crystal ball so I can share it. 🙄
As soon as he was pressed Gavin showed his ass and went after trans athletes. No backbone just like every other mainstream Dem. He's good with fracking & Nestle bottling our water for sale to folks like you.
No hero there.🙄💙
Remember when dump was elected and Newsom n Pritzker said they were going to launch a blue governor coalition to block Trumpism from their states and fight back against this authoritarian regime and pritzker has done that and spoken out loudly and Newsom has…interviewed Bannon and bashed democrats..
I heartily disagree. Clearly you have not contemplated a world in which the Democrats' biggest problem is "That THING already ate Rahm Emmanuel and Eric Adams and it's still hungry! We need to feed it one more person to put it to sleep... but who?"
Up next on the "Gavin Newsom interviews and agrees with the worst people on earth" podcast, Osama bin Laden. Wells its an AI trained by Leon Muck personally to give the same answers as bin Laden. Talking to terrible people is super important guis. Thats why the right does it all the time.
The left still doesn’t understand. This is why they will lose again. We need everyone: dems, republican cast offs, ex-MAGA, centrists. The left will cut off their nose if you’re not down with every extreme view point. The point is to build a coalition, not self righteous bullshit at this time.
You’re missing the point and making my point at the same time. And for you to just try to explain that, is so myopic, I just can’t. The country & the world are burning and Newsom is their new target? The goal is to get dumbass out of office and to never let his ilk anywhere near the W.H. again!
Unhoused crisis - rather than making any meaningful progress to help solve this problem in California, as soon as the supreme court ruled that being unhoused can be deemed illegal, he put on his sneakers and ran on down to do encampment sweeps. If you can't help them, hide them. Right?
Green energy - He's caved to the likes of PG&E. He now signs on to the idea that the reason electric bills in California are so high, is because of rooftop solar. Certainly not poor 'ol PG&E's fault. They are just innocent, publication traded, for profit, bystanders. Look up details on NEM 3.0.
Other areas where it's clear he's decided the red hat might look good with his eyes: Joining the completely fabricated "fight" against trans people in sports. (Ignoring the fact that this is just a distraction designed to get people to look elsewhere while they unravel our democracy).
We need a dem candidate that can unite dems and magas on the verge of getting away from Maga! Newsom is not the one! He is a privileged pretty boy! He welcomes Steve Bannon to his podcast when he could be joining AOC and Bernie in key red states if he wanted to help unite people.
Just one of many bonehead moves, lately. I’m still grateful to important initiatives he’s taking, too. Like his latest Tariffs lawsuit with @robbonta.bsky.social . But overall, he’s sadly not the future leader of our party.
He seems to set his own career on fire after doing something good. He takes one step forward and three steps back, his own worst enemy. He was my sup, mayor,
and now my gov. He’s always fucked himself over when he could have so much potential
I agree. The Republican Party is effectively dead with MAGA takeover. America needs fresh new younger leaders in the Democratic Party. Those who know how to fight for democracy and protect the rule of law. Can you imagine what we could accomplish with a Congress full of John Lewis’??
Bernie is the only progressive senator. The House includes AOC, Maxwell Frost and others
We need to elect Progressives and Justice Democrats. https://progressives.house.gov/
Well Nicole y'all don't exactly have a deep bench. Neither does the other team of course, but that hardly matters until the devil is done with You Know Who.
The man literally has Nazis over to his house to hang out and do pod casts with him..
If that's what the Dems want to run, they will find themselves with record low turn out.. Dems need to stop being republican light... Americans want a 2028 flavored LBJ... people are tired of Neo lib BS.
Hey, he's taking creative action. None of my state representatives are. One actually said the only way to deal with Republicans is to shame them. I stopped listening to her. 🙄
Yes. Any democrats tracking to the "the center" to attract voters will not succeed. I don't see any such candidates attracting the crowds Bernie and AOC are seeing. We need a vibrant new generation of leaders who will work harder to get money out of politics and everyday working people back in.
My view is that while issues are the same as ever, the point going forward is to fight wealth inequality and oligarchy that hurts the 99%, and get rid of big money in politics. As such, we've moved past left/right politics and more into a top/bottom orientation that focuses on common issues of 99%.
We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand also, (1/3)
its heavy responsibilities; that all who arc insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, (2/3)
WTF happened there? Shit advisors, or what? He thought yucking it up with Nazis guaranteed smooth sailing into what exactly? I'm honestly gobsmacked by his recent actions.
And yet I see no solutions from you, Nicole. I like his chances of trimming off 5% of GOP voting Whites far better than anything I see you doing with yer big honkin' social media platform.
Dumbest statement yet. You think some of the excellent legislation passed by Biden wasn’t bipartisan. Black and white, purity statements like this lose elections. If it’s a good bill that helps people dems should vote for it.
Taking away the rights of women to vote, is good for people? You must be such an insecure man that you felt it was okay for the Save Act to pass? That's pretty sad.
Right. Just like how the white moderates in the DNC helped to block progressive policies during the Biden admin. These people aren't allies. They are the lesser of two evils and just expect everyone to cave to their demands. That's not how democracy works, folks.
All the good faith he built during the LA fires with action and leadership got flushed down the toilet with his little podcast antics of platforming Nazis. He was my mayor, he is my governor, he’s his own worst enemy. One step forward, three steps back
I live in Cali, screw Newsom. He is a hypocrite of epic proportions and will bend a knee to tRump as soon as he changes his title from President to Chancellor.
at one point he was sticking his junk inside of Kimberly Guilfoyle.
We don't need any sunny Cali,corporate speak BS,we need salt of the earth,say it like it is,who rose from nothing,talk no shit,take no shit,Walk in their truth,stand by the Constitutional people to run out gov't.
FULL FUCKIN STOP
She met don jr,and I guess they are living proof,that yes,there is still a flow of really good YAYO,in S.Florida.i lived in Miami in 1984-85.you can fool the fans,but you can't fool the players.
I know that.shes so bad now,I can't even see her as she was back then.
All I can say,is from my life experiences,she must of always had the darkness in her.people don't change,at their core,they adapt to circumstances.
Unless the Democratic Party thinks its problem is progressive activism.
AOC and Bernie are activating something new and apart from established Dem party hierarchy. There's a non-zero percentage of those folks that are freaking the fuck out, and Newsome will be their man.
My hope is we see who emerges as the most talented member of the Democratic resistance— voices are emerging, but still not crystal clear— sharper answers, no talking points, forget the polish, give it to me straight— let's get it on
I arrived at that conclusion recently. I still think we need a candidate that speaks to our sense of rage and retribution, less than to our sense of values bc we know now that is a fickle thing to count on in voters.
Governor Newsom has exposed himself lately. I never thought he was a great governor, but I, up until recently, thought he was a decent one. Since beating his recall he has swung very far towards the right. I wouldn't be surprised if he re-registered independent.
Governors retain sovereign power over executive and judiciary, are subordinate to the president of the United States and laws provided by the enumerated powers section of the federal constitution, and serve as the political and ceremonial head of the state.
Honestly— abundance Democrats also need to tell him to fuck off. He goes against everything they’re saying needs to be the Democrat selling points. “Fuck Gavin Newsom” and “Fuck Rahm Emmanuel” running for President should be where leftists and moderates agree.
I have no issue with him. He is not perfect, but no one is. As a resident of CA, there are a couple of people I like more than him, but I would vote for Newsom over many others.
He used to be more daring. Now, it seems that he checks a poll or two before publicizing a stance. I also understand about fundraising, but optics matter. I've never been a Bernie fan, but tell me the last time he celebrated anything at The French Laundry.
I think it is about running for President. No way the rest of the country will elect a CA governor president no matter what they say to drift to the middle. But until recently, I don’t remember hearing of him being anything but supportive of everyone’s rights.
AFAIK, the "transgender athletes are unfair" attitude is new, and I'm not sure why he waded into those waters. Neither Trump nor his people will like him better for it, and he loses other voters, too, because after being a champion of LGBTQ rights (or so I thought), he now sounds like a hypocrite.
Thank you for saying this. The Democratic Party must return to their roots. We don’t need two parties for billionaires, become the working class party again! The status quo isn’t working for far too many Americans, we need massive changes, not piecemeal band aids.
Ok, ur cut off...ur on every tweet. We just ran Hillary 2.0...time for u to sit in the corner and stfu. We've had to do it for decades....economic. populist...repeat those words over and over. The best part, despite all ur blister, u'll get in line like we tell u to. So let's skip the fight
Or, you could choose to accept that I can empathize with Luigi, and millions of others being denied healthcare, to the point of death. I would rather see our legislators and justice system take action, but we don’t live in that world right now, because of rich men just like that CEO.
Then fix your health care system!! It's not hard, most countries figured it out. But you can never go around murdering people. That makes you a 3rd world country.
Fully expecting them to put their full weight behind Newsom and as an "anti woke" democrat and then wagging their finger at everyone who didn't vote for him. Despite many of us signaling very loudly we'll never vote for the guy.

I had a different opinion of him in 2020.
Thankfully he showed his true colors.
You're right of course. Just thought you might like to hear that from a constituent.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Who wants to risk their lives or contribute to a dictatorship?
Every state is hurting because Canadians and the world is saying🖕45 You suck!

But NOW, gee wiz, NO WAY!
JB Pritzker too, but does he have National ambitions?
Hard to believe that NY is willing to go from bad to worse.
Mainstream Democrats will fall for it.
If you think you can mumble vaguely like a drunk on the corner and expect people to understand you, you’re wrong.

I’m old enough to remember when the Democrats were for the blue collar workers
Not seeing it coming anytime soon
and now my gov. He’s always fucked himself over when he could have so much potential

Fuck right off
And take that billionaire/corporate money that corrupts you with you

He's trying to play it safe in the middle.
Pick a fucking side or get out of the way.
He isn't out there criticizing Trump's fascist takeover of the government on a daily basis.
I still like Elizabeth Warren too.
AOC for president!

Your calculus is now this; it's very simple
Move against the administration
The first ones to do so will be labeled 'courageous' and 'patriotic', while the last ones to do so will be primaried
You are in power, now
That U.S. Congressional switchboard number is

So yes, it is a political position
