š„ I hate to state the obvious but I will: The homeless are the cause of a disproportionate percentage of fires, property & violent crime, & police & fire expenses in California cities. Yet people vote for candidates/policies that attract MORE homeless people rather than
HAPPENING NOW: Just weeks after a cleanup, a homeless encampment is back in Marina del Rey along the 90 Freeway ā on state land ā and thereās now an active fire. Cellphone video shows flames as firefighters respond. Neighbors say this is exactly what they feared. Many have been

š„ Itās too bad @GavinNewsom didnāt have this mentality a year ago when he deliberately didnāt put out the Lachman Fire on 1/1/25 allowing it to turn into thenPalisades Fire on 1/7, which they failed to put out due to inadequate resources/water. Donāt let Newsom rewrite history.
I've directed state agencies and emergency management partners to pre-position emergency crews, equipment, and resources ahead of forecasted heavy rain, strong winds, and flood risks. When severe weather threatens our communities, we donāt wait to react. We get ahead of it.

This is what happens when too many people work on one project. Deadlines slip. Quality drops. And somehow youāre managing everyone. Thereās a simpler way to do this.

Ummm @GavinNewsom doesnāt realize what a self-own this is. Heās blown tens of BILLIONS on embezzled āhomeless housingā $. And now heās spending $52 million MORE?!? For next Governor, Iāll support someone who vows to spend $0 on this scam & find missing $.
āWhether itās housing, infrastructure, or homelessness services, weāre stepping up and standing shoulder to shoulder with local leaders to make sure they have what they need. These grants are about strengthening neighborhoods and ensuring communities across California can thrive,

š @GavinNewsom - the man who funds giving drug paraphernalia to addicts in the name of āharm reductionā & now says he wants āto see trans kidsā - is now claiming heās trying to prevent youth substance abuse?? The only thing scarier is seeing @Scott_Wiener open a daycare.
NEW: California is funding a new $47 million effort across California to prevent youth substance use ā with a focus on mentorship, leadership, and reaching struggling young men and boys.

šØ whether youāre Apple or Google or a mom & pop convenience store @GavinNewsom caused your taxes to skyrocket. Why? During COVID he borrowed tens of billions of $ from the Feds in āunemploymentā $ that largely disappeared but NEVER paid it back. Now we have to pay it back.
California is the only state in the nation that has not paid off its federal pandemic unemployment loan. Businesses large & small have been shouldering the $20B debt bc CALeg & Gov put nothing toward it. āThis is the greatest hidden taxā @roblapsley

Hey @GavinNewsom THIS š will be what ends your @GavinNewsom28 presidential ambitions (alongside @NICKIMINAJ ) $1.90 a gallon gas in Tennessee, way less than HALF what it is in California. YOU ALONE are the common denominator for Californiaās affordability crisis. NO ONE
Gas prices spotted in Middle Tennessee after playing golf in shorts in December, just down the street from In-N-Out. The Californian mind cannot comprehend this.

Why is @GavinNewsom so obsessed with āLGBTQ youthā rather than caring about ALL kids, including those who donāt have a unique sexual orientation (because theyāre⦠kids?) or gender identity? After saying he wants to see more ātrans kids,ā he seems to be doubling down on this.
NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom just announced the stateās partnership with The @TrevorProject to further improve training for Californiaās 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline counselors to better support LGBTQ youth. More than 1,000 crisis counselors will be offered the new training
