Newsom in fight to advance plans for $20-billion Delta water tunnel https://www.byteseu.com/896839/ #45MileTunnel #board #environment #letter #nemeth #newsom #NewsomAdministration #NicoleKuenzi #opponent #petition #project #SacramentoDelta #StateDepartment #StateWaterRegulator #supply #Water

#California Gov #Newsom takes to #MelonHusk #SocialMedia platform attempting to reassure global trading partners and find workarounds for state to escape retaliatory foreign trade
tariffs. The state does 13% of all agricultural #exports from US, and is responsible for 14% of the nation’s total gross domestic product, making it the fifth-largest #economy in the world if it was a stand alone entity.

Newsom is not going to negotiate any trade deals. The whole thing is utter bullshit.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and *hope* that #Progressives or #Democrats running for #California governor start reading the room and publicly or shadily distance themselves from #Newsom NOW.

We always have an f-ton of crazies running...and we need focused leadership to cut through the (inevitable) noise, someone to rally around. No more BS. No more people with dwindling political capital. No more yes-people. Meet the moment, California...

Well, if it actually exists as a Democratic harm, please cancel ‘em both.

PS—You really don’t have to/shouldn’t talk to “winning” Nazis, just appeal to more #Democrats/Non-voters

Stephen Robinson responds to Gavin Newsom's sucking up to the odious Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk:

"Some people just need to be shunned."

And I heartily agree.

Dear gov #newsom:

**FDR didn't beat Hoover by going "you know, some of Hoover's friends might be right."**

"#Fetterman and #Newsom should be driving the stake into the #MAGA movement's heart, capitalizing on every failure, every fraction, every fraud, and every shameful disgrace. Instead, they're acting like it's 2016, and Trumpism is some fresh new force they need to accommodate...

"They think they're positioning themselves for the future. They're wrong. They're anchoring themselves to a dying movement, bending the knee just as the walls are ready to cave in."

Good to see #Ayman on MSNBC skewering #Newsom and other Dems for publicly making nice with fascists.

Gavin #Newsom: So Mr. Führer, you see: we *both* like apple pie!! :D

Gavin newsom is like RFK Jr in embryonic form. He even caught the voice! Does he have a brain worm? #newsom #rfkjr

"Unlike our opponents, we don’t believe that love and care is finite.

We don’t believe that trans people are only allowed to exist when they poll well. We don’t believe that there’s a binary choice between supporting broke American citizens and immigrants. We don’t believe that feminism is an attack on men, or that anti-racism is an attack on white people. We don’t believe that justice and peace for Palestine is mutually exclusive with protecting Jewish communities from antisemitism. We don’t believe in either implicit or explicit eugenics for our disabled neighbors. We don’t believe that only some of us deserve healthcare or childcare or a decent education or healthy air or communities free from violence. We merely believe that we all deserve a country that loves us for once. We believe that there is enough to go around, but only if we choose it."

Clear out the trash while you still can in that Party, and same goes for Labour in the UK.
