I was assured that Gavin Newsom was toast (pun intended) politically after the LA fires.
52% of Californians (55% of likely voters) approve of how Governor Newsom is handling his job — (+8 from Oct 2024)
Notably, approval of Newsom is HIGHEST IN LOS ANGELES (61%). https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-february-2025/

I'm from up North in OR-GON.
But you were very convincing.
Maybe we can somehow convince them that vaccines are as awesome as ivermectin?
What do you mean? Of course we have Ivermectin vaccines available. They just don't want the right to have them. They should demand their vaccines now! :)

Appreciate him rising to the occasion and help me keep some sense of comfort living in this state, for now, but time will tell. We're still in the first inning of this chaos.
That said, I would vote for him for president today. Six months ago I would have voted for him to get dumped 50mi off the coast.
He's definitely grown on me over the years.
But the way he spoke to us during covid almost every single day and gave us peace of mind with it, totally changed my husbands point of view on him, he voted against the recall and is glad we have him as governor now
He reminds me of that.
He could have played the lead character.
Most "normal" people don't operate that way lol
his approval rating have skyrocketed.
The people agree
Newsome is what leadership looks like
Not some closeting coward republicans that voted to kick grandparents and kids off of SNAP and Medicare
... Republicans MAGA
Want you to suffer as they hand out tax cuts to the already wealthy
He’s so stupid, but so are his ignorant followers
The only thing missing is his Plan B - what happens if these MAGA theocrats go full Nazi? How will we keep moving forward in prosperity and peace? Usually good to work that out in advance…
It is also exactly why you will continue to see voters remorse videos on TikTok and at town halls: the FO phase.
And what does 45 know about water for farming?
It's too late for fire fighting and too soon for farms!
THIS-*Might* Be Starting To Happen-Everywhere.
Which a structural-economic progressive will win & then win in Nov.

They carry the deficit of the Red States.
Love my California
But he won't play in Peoria.
I sent his office an offer about the fire mitigation , but never got feedback. I am sure they have several experts helping them w readiness.
Newsome is OK.
9 Million people there, and that's where the fires were so they would be the most affected
I suspect all blue states with blue governors will do well on this metric.
Follow Congressmen in the Districts you’re interested in. Look up the Agency Directors and follow them too.
Gov. Newsom is busy. We have a whole team of people crushing it behind the scenes in CA. No other state I’d rather be.
blame the city planning departments for approving building in high fire zones and not having adequate infrastructure like Water supply
1 reservoir for 100,000
1 reservoir for 500,000
slicing the pie thinner
Some homes were there over 100 years.
This was not poor city planning, or poor water supply. No muni water system on the planet could have handled this.
Working with SDGE on Gas lines in neighborhoods that are 50-80 years old, millions of cubic feet on gas under every street at the end of it's life cycle and leaking. SDGE sends crews out with detectors now it's so bad.
People can be on some level of alert when there is a horrendous windstorm, but gas lines are too unseen, and who can predict where the leaks will actually exit the ground. Inside a home, next to a barbecue... yeesh.
What was the County fire prevention plan in the hillsides.
Did they have the funds to carry it out.
Homes 100 years old to as recent as 1995 don't meet New Fire codes. It's a tragic reality and I've been in construction for 57 years.
There were occasional fires in the hills, and the occasional house fire, and LA Co. Fire was always spectacular.
Can't speak to recent funding.
I live in rural S.D. county and have had 3 major fires come through wiping out 45 of my neighbors homes.
It's scary how fast they travel.
SDGE has drones flying over now and we get Notices of fire hazards on our properties.
We have the local Fire Hydrant on our property so it becomes the staging area
We lost 45 homes around us in the last fire.
30 ' - 40 ' walls of flame storm.
SDGE flies drones over now and we get Notices
High wind situations are going to take a different approach from average fires.
The problem is if you introduce a high volume reservoir, you’ve destroyed the potability of system
Gavin’s a Saint..
You may dislike Newsom for a variety of reasons, but he is not sociopathic.
He bends over backwards for all of us, & we appreciate him.
He knows what he needs to do for Californians & he does his jobs.
No one can beat Gavin in California.
I think a 2028 ticket of Gavin Newson and Pete Buttigieg will be a big winner. Smart articulate experienced warriors.
The latest Gavin Newsom recall attempt is the most pointless yet
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/joegarofoli/article/gavin-newsom-recall-california-20187129.php
We should charge them for the cost of organizing one !!
Likewise, if you’re a painfully obvious inept sack of flesh and excrement, like Felon47 and the doughy illegal immigrant DOGEbag, people will also notice.
Interesting. 🧐
And he’s smart enough to put money aside in anticipation of Trumps bullshit.
He’s not afraid to say no.
I’m still surprised it’s as low as it is.
Thinking this was our Governor’s fault is insane. 110 MPH winds and 🔥 was a disaster!
Trump hates California & wasted our water & screwed our farmers.
They also know that trump has done everything in his power to hurt the State (i.e. flooding upstate farmlands), denying disaster relief, etc.
Any republican running is DOWN WITH TRUMP.
Essentially voting with their paycheck to secede from Amerikkka to remain in America.
CA would need to collect new taxes to pay for the new mandates of SS, Medicare, and Medicaid that Elon would cut.
Come and take it from our Republic of Californian hands, gutted and feeble IRS!
With extra long & extra sharp finger nails
In the Fire zones, he is doing a lot for California!
PT doesn’t like it! He wants a YES man and forge grievance in to our STATE about @gavinnewsom.bsky.social policy and politics!
Do you want what is happening in DC and other RED states to happen here, California? Hell NO!
Just don't buy a used car from him and you'll be fine. 🤣🤣🤣
Something the GOP will never know.
Needs to rebuild la immediately
