After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I’m thankful for Newsom. IT IS INSANE THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO BEHAVES LIKE THIS. And he’s holding a mirror to it.
We need more people doing the same instead of critiquing political ambition. Anyone who has run for Governor or Senator has it. It’s what they do with it that counts.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

The contents of the GOP tax bill are horrifically unpopular among those who are aware of them — but many aren't. Our data shows that Fox News is largely trying to avoid discussing them altogether.
