Forgive me, this is embarrassing. All the noise, we just need to turn off. Listen to this, this is it. We're all just sitting there, screaming and yelling at each other, everybody's getting at each other's throats, trying to tear everybody down, and how are we going to get out of this? This is it.
Hannity explained that the debate was supposed to run from 9 to 10:30 PM, but it went past that time, leading to Newsom's team pulling him out. DeSantis noted, 'I was just kind of sitting there. I didn't know what to do.'
Do you have a Zoolander problem? Couric asked Newsom on her podcast Next Question, referring to the 2001 Ben Stiller comedy about male models. The pair laughed as Couric asked, Are you just ridiculously good-looking as Vogue said? No, seriously, what do you do about that? Couric was referring to a Vogue spread for Newsom that described him as embarrassingly handsome.
Okay, he didn't say, number one, you can't read either. He's not saying that even though people are you know jumping to the conclusion that's what he meant. He never said that. He's saying he was challenged. He was average in terms of academics. And he wasn't saying, oh, all these people in the audience, you're assuming they're all Black in the audience and he's patronizing them.
Their agreement is aimed at deepening existing cooperation between the UK and California and creates a new framework to scale up clean energy technologies and enhance ties between businesses and researchers in Britain and the US state, which is effectively the world's fourth largest global economy. The UK and California will also share practical expertise on protecting biodiversity and building resilience amid extreme weather, Miliband's department announced on Monday.
Several tech leaders with longstanding ties to Newsom have recently moved closer to Trump, including Sergey Brin, the Google co-founder who's been close to Newsom since his tenure as San Francisco's mayor, and Marc Benioff, the billionaire co-founder of Salesforce Inc. and godfather to one of the first California couple's four children. Benioff said last year that Trump is doing a great job. Alphabet Inc., Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc., all based in California, have also contributed to Trump's White House ballroom project.
Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability, happening in the United States of America today, Newsom said recently on . These are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's new trolltastic approach to politics may have earned him an enemy in the form of MAGA Minaj, but it's an effective tactic in fighting Tr*mp, JD Vance, and all those who unaccountably still worship those idiots. Including fading rocker Kid Rock, who landed himself in hot water last week after news of his Turning Point USA gig had folks turning up some very rank lyrics he'd written in 2001... for a kids movie.
The event, organized by the California Federation of Labor Unions, calls AI "the biggest existential threat facing working Americans today." The group wants Newsom "or any candidate looking forward to the 2028 election" to know "loud and clear" that "our members want a leader who works with organized labor to protect jobs and create guardrails on artificial intelligence." The event evidently singles out Newsom due to his frontrunner status in very early pre-campaign polling,
The briefing paper pointedly cites Newsom's veto of last year's Senate Bill 7, a union-backed bill to bar employers from using AI to make employee discipline and termination decisions. In rejecting it, Newsom said the measure was overly broad and would prevent even innocuous uses of AI. Newsom's veto exemplifies his efforts, as the AI industry explodes, to satisfy both the tech industry, with which he has decades-long political ties, and those who worry about AI's societal and economic impacts.
There are few politicians in America on a better recent run than Gavin Newsom. The term-limited California governor, polling at the top of the pack for the 2028 presidential election, has spent the second Trump term as the face of the liberal resistance. Countering Texas, he successfully orchestrated a statewide referendum overturning California's independent redistricting, allowing Democrats there to gerrymander new House seats.
There's a well-worn playbook for politicians who yearn to occupy the White House. One of its most common tools is to write a book, or have a book written, to introduce the presidential supplicant to voters. Historians trace the practice to Thomas Jefferson, whose 1785 book, "Notes on the State of Virginia," predated his first campaign for president in 1786.

Historians trace the practice to Thomas Jefferson, whose 1785 book, Notes on the State of Virginia, predated his first campaign for president in 1786. Using the book as a conscious tool of image-building is a more recent phenomenon, however, leading critic Jaime Fuller to lament the banality of such tomes in his 2019 Literary Hub article.
It's easy to see why the party's voters have such a favorable view of his political skills. The California governor has combined an ideological flexibility-lately embracing both the "abundance agenda" and dialogues with conservatives-with a relentless mockery of President Trump. His new persona as a fighting moderate, a Democrat in tune with the country's shifting desires and ruthless toward the man at the top, deftly speaks to the needs of a party desperate to regain the White House.
CNN anchor and senior White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) called out numerous gaffes and falsehoods from President Donald Trump's jaw-dropping address to the 2026 Davos World Economic Forum. Newsom was in the audience when Trump delivered a lengthy and rambling speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday. The president spoke for well over an hour, dropping a familiar mixture of falsehoods, exaggerations, attacks on allies and enemies alike, and wild asides.
First, a bit of history. Just months after being elected mayor of San Francisco in 2004, Newsom unveiled a plan he said would clear city streets of homeless people in 10 years. Fourteen years later, while running for governor, Newsom declared that homelessness in San Francisco had never been worse. He said eradicating homelessness would be a high priority and promised to appoint a homeless czar who could cut through red tape and intergovernmental friction to get the job done.
