Gavin Newsom is dyslexic and legit ✨hates✨ reading from teleprompters; so he memorizes ALL his speeches and delivers them off-the-top.

Those gazillion facts and figures he’s always rattling off when he’s interviewed or addresses the public—all from memory. Pretty impressive.

Gavin Newsom: “If some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. …"

The Ranch Fire in San Bernardino is 4,000 acres and growing.

Meanwhile, 5 of California’s 14 National Guard fire crews are understaffed… because Trump deployed them for a political stunt in LA.

This isn’t just illegal,It’s dangerous.

You know what’s annoying? Gavin Newsom is standing up and putting himself on the line. And the political press has to frame it as campaigning for president.
Maybe he would like to be president, but that’s not really the point right now.

She is being terminated, not because of her performance because over her tenure state aid for local libraries has increased 60%.

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.
There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.
