🚨 PER POLITICO: “Gov. Gavin Newsom said criticism of California’s tough Covid 🦠 restrictions was valid and he would have taken an entirely different approach, given what he knows now about the pandemic. “I think we would’ve done everything differently,” Newsom said in a taped…

I applaud the Huntington Beach CA City Council for voting to ban COVID mask 😷 & vax vaccine 💉 mandates. It’s a rare show of sanity within a mandate-obsessed state.

Hey Gavin, contrary to how you characterize it, the last recall against you in California was not Republican effort, nor is this one. There has long been a strong bipartisan consensus that your policies are harmful to the state.
It is not a Republican idea that CA should not be…
Trump Republicans are launching another wasteful recall campaign to distract us from the existential fight for democracy and reproductive freedom.
We will defeat them.

Governor, 20 years ago you became Mayor of SF and promised to cure homelessness. You promised the state the same when you became Governor 6 years ago. The “broken promises” to which you refer are YOURS. And each time, you gaslight the people and come back saying “just a few…
Proposition 1 PASSES.
This is a huge victory for doing things radically different when it comes to tackling homelessness.
The biggest change CA has seen in DECADES.
Now it's time to get to work -- repairing the damage caused by decades of broken promises and neglect to those…

How are Haitians making it to Mexico to begin with? Who is financing their flights, food, etc? Who is financing all of this. It’s a massive, expensive coordinated effort that doesn’t just spontaneously happen.

A real text sent to a colleague today regarding a business meeting tomorrow.
“Address above, please wear a mask. thanks”.
Colleague “I thought COVID was over”
“We’re getting a surge. Eris subvariant now circulating in LA.”
This says it all. COVID’s a religion not a virus.🦠

When we tell these stories of COVID crimes, we tell them so that we hold people accountable and learn valuable lessons so this never ever happens again. Anywhere. The tragedies they needlessly and senselessly caused in response to COVID were the TRUE pandemic. Learning loss…

Gav, did you read your own law?
Was there “force or fraud”? No. They wanted to go to California to get free stuff from you.
Was it “contrary to the law of the place where the act was committed (Florida)”? Again, no. Perfectly legal in Florida.
Stick to making wine.

I filled out my mail in ballot yesterday and turned it in to a polling center at the Hammer Museum, where the worker placed it into a black box (literally) and handed me a “I Voted” sticker. No receipt or confirmation. A day & a half later, no sign they have it or that it’ll ever…

Gavin Newsom, in defending himself in the PaneraGate scandal, uses the same facial expressions he made while SF mayor when he got caught and tried to lie out of it. Watch this clip. He’s the same guy who would said “my dog ate my homework” and blamed anyone but himself. The only…
"It turns out A - it's not true, he never talked to me about it, period - full stop," Gavin Newsom addresses the Panera controversy with
@conanNBCLA

Last night, most of the citizens of Los Angeles tested positive for the highly contagious WhyStillTestingcron variant of WeDontCare-23. We are all living our lives as usual and not tweeting about asymptomatic infections of non-lethal viruses for most people.

Want to know why in medicine, we have something called a “second opinion” and not “second fact”? Because practicing medicine is NOT following a set formula but rather interpreting science for each unique patient.

Congressman, it’s inappropriate and unbecoming of you to address a constituent that way. It’s dismissive and rude. May I suggest the proper way to have responded, “I’m very sorry you feel this way. Contact [staffer] at my office tomorrow and let’s set up a time to talk. I want to…
