The only thing that Newsom does well is troll trump. Other than that he is so off base with Democrats and the left. He really wants to be be President, but it ain't gonna happen.
Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Privatized Medicare plans are denying patients they care they need, while defrauding the government of billions a year.
Donald Trump is giving them even more taxpayer money.

Hey, Donald. If we can magically produce more steel and aluminum in the U.S. overnight, why can't we do the same with eggs?
Trump is now begging the same world leaders he’s been threatening—asking them to send eggs to the U.S. to help bail him out as prices skyrocket.
