JUST IN: 9th Circuit Court of Appeals grants Trump motion to “stay” the National Guard decision pending appeal. A hearing is scheduled for June 17th. This isn’t over.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Judge Breyer’s order directing control of the National Guard back to the governor: “I’m gratified by his decision. Today was really about a test of democracy. And today we passed the test.”

JUST IN: In Newsom v. Trump — U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer: “Defendants are DIRECTED to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Newsom.”

So “peace through strength,” or nah?

The publicity he is giving Governor Gavin Newsom is priceless — But this post is also meant to distract away from Senator Alex Padilla being placed in handcuffs, and Trump’s authoritarian actions

This is how you know he is terrified of Gavin Newsom politically

At this point, do we really only say that America is headed toward authoritarianism? Or are we already there?

In a matter of just a few days, Donald Trump’s administration threatened to arrest a sitting governor and literally had a U.S. senator placed in handcuffs — What form of government is that again?

Senator Alex Padilla clearly idenfied himself before he was placed in handcuffs — Noem: “Nobody knew who he was, he didn’t say who he was…”

DHS: “Secret Service thought he was an attacker.” Give me a f*cking break.

In Trump’s America, free speech gets you placed in handcuffs

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Senator Alex Padilla being handcuffed for asking questions: “Imagine what they will do to you.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sen. Alex Padilla being placed in handcuffs —

In Trump’s America, U.S. Senators from the opposing party get handcuffed —

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “People that have military parades — Kim Jong Un, Putin. This is stuff of dictators. What an embarrassment. What a vulgar display of weakness masquerading as strength. To celebrate the dear leader? This is a disgrace.“

Gov. Gavin Newsom on those who are not peacefully protesting: “We’re going to pay for that in a deeper way. We’re going to pay for that with our democracy. We’re going to lose our democracy. Those are the images Donald Trump wants. Those are the images he’s exploiting.”

Newsom: “That’s Trump’s America right now. This is starting to take shape all across the country. This is a preview of things to come. It’s not just happening in blue cities or blue states. But it is happening at a new scale of cruelty here in California playing into these authoritarian tendencies.”

Oh sh¡t lol

Gavin Newsom’s Press Office doesn’t miss

Gavin Newsom is really just going down the MAGA list, isn’t he

Right on brand

Wait for it, lol

Oh dang lol

Jessica Tarlov: “I hope by tomorrow there will be a clip of Harry Enten saying what he tweeted before we came on here — ‘This is definitely one of trump's worst polls, just horrible across the board. Net approval minus 16 points, opposition to the big, beautiful bill, just bad stuff all around.’”

Jessica Tarlov: “Gavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. Right before we came on air, there was a new Quinnipiac Poll that was released. Donald Trump: -12 approval in general, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it.”

Jessica Tarlov: “Gavin Newsom has been clear. Every single time that he has spoken, he has said that violence will not be tolerated. The reason we didn’t need the National Guard and Marines is that the LAPD itself said in a release that they didn’t need any help.”

Sunny: What’s happening in L.A. is a direct result of what ICE is doing…at the direction of the U.S. [president]. CNN is reporting that ICE is now raiding agricultural communities in California which will really damage the economy of California. And California subsidizes red states in this country.

Joy Behar on Governor Gavin Newsom:

Harry Enten: “Google searches of Gavin Newsom with Donald Trump up 9,700% vs. a week ago. More folks are googling Gavin Newsom’s name with Trump than ever before. [Democrats] want a fighter. They want that opposition to Trump.”

Reporter: "I'm struck by the fact that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters.’ Why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

Collins: “Under what authority would the members of the military be able to arrest people inside the United States?”

Reporter: “If the president does end up deploying any National Guard members, perhaps Marines to blue states, would he be in contact with the governors prior to this?” Karoline Leavitt: (doesn’t actually say Trump would contact governors prior)

Reporter: “Does the president see himself as a king?”

Chris Van Hollen: “Governor Newsom is stepping up to meet the moment. I support the actions that he’s taking because he’s pointing out that the president is abusing his office in the sense that he is throwing gasoline on the fire.”

The fact that they are now attacking Jennifer Siebel Newsom with utter lies means that right now they are really afraid of Gavin Newsom politically

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of a crowd of protesters peacefully marching in Downtown L.A. to protest ongoing ICE raid operations, Trump's federalization of the National Guard, and the mobilization of 700+ Marines to the area 📍Los Angeles, CA

HAPPENING NOW: A huge crowd of protesters peacefully marching in New York City to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and other Trump administration policies — Protesters: “NO KKK, NO FASCIST USA, NO ICE!” 📍New York City, NY

Manu Raju: “You guys have condemned the violent protesters in L.A. Is it hypocritical given the president pardoned the violent protestors on January 6th?” Mike Johnson: “I think there's a clear distinction between those two.”

Stephen Miller is now getting destroyed by Gavin Newsom’s Press Office

Manu Raju at John Thune: "Do you see an inconsistency when the president criticizes and condemns the violent Los Angeles protestors but then pardons the violent January 6th protestors?"

Petty me is really enjoying every Gavin Newsom clap back on Trump and his allies

If Donald Trump continues to attack Gavin Newsom this much, he’s going to make him president in 2028

On this weekend’s parade — Trump: “For those people that want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force. They will be met with very heavy force.”
