We support Gavin Newsom for the Democratic candidate for President of the USA.

Newsom is the only one who can win the next Presidential election.

Newsom is smart.

Newsom is proven, he is experienced....CA is bigger than many countries in the world.

NEWSOM can win! He is the only one who can win...not K. Harris. Go Gavin!

FOR SURE, NO Kamala Harris again!! She simply isn't charismatic in the least, and we MUST have a HIGHLY charismatic candidate this time around. WE MUST WIN! As far as Gavin is concerned, I agree with his experience, etc., BUT, I think we need a white guy from some place other than CA. The right-wing media will crucify Gavin for his "socialist" ideaology and for just being from our state. This country generally doesn't have much good to say about Californians, even though it's clearly THE BEST STATE in the UNION IMO!

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure who should run in 2028, but it better be a strong, charismatic, candidate who is willing to fight for the American people. A fairly young person who is unafraid, open to the American people's needs and who will understand and be willing to stand for people where their at. Whether it's Medicare for all, or free state colleges, or taxing the rich and not being afraid to do so, to absolutely make it happen. People are fed up, they are hurting, they need good paying jobs created, on the job training positions, getting paid to learn a new trade. Being good allies who keep our word. Don't put up with lies, and propaganda. Call Putin out for what he is. Support Ukraine, and support single moms and their children. Support woman getting better education and equal paying jobs and opportunities. I don't know who fits this right now, but we better find someone fast. Time for the old time Democrats to step aside and give the ones under 50 a shot! Term limits a must, and get money out of politics. No pacs, no billionaire donors, no huge companies allowed to make huge contributions, no more lobbying. These are all attainable. We must change the trajectory of all politics in order to change the outcomes!!

It’s financially in a better place than the Federal government. That’s due to good governance. It doesn’t come about using lies. I still can’t get over the president saying that he and he alone turned on the “faucet” to solve the water problems to fight a huge fire. Between that and his suggestion to rake the forests just highlights the lack of intelligence of the president. And he has been elected to the highest office in the country. Scary, isn’t it?

YES, Teryl, it IS SCARY that our fellow Americans reelected the LIAR in CHIEF after seeing what he was like the first time around! It is bc they are misinformed by Fox and other right-wing so-called news outlets who feed them propaganda 24/7 and I'm sorry to say, generally, they are uneducated and disengaged. It is 100% up to the rest of us to FIGHT for democracy, decency and good governance bc those currently in power are dead set on destroying it ALL! The courts are the last stand and now the partisan SC has just handed Trump another win by limiting Federal judges' ability to stop his illegal acts country-wide until they play out in court. We are not even one year in and LOOK at the carnage they have wrought!

He has always hated California, our natural resources and our openness to diversity. Paving over the WH lawn ... he would pave over all our national parks if given half a chance. Except for water-wasting golf courses of course. We cannot let him take our natural beauty away!

Donald Trump is a rapist and many of the people in the Trump administration have sex trafficking, fraud, domestic violence, and sexual assault charges and arrests. As well as hush money.

Add in the fact that they are all well versed in the use of cryptocurrency, which is often used in human trafficking, extortion, blackmail, drug dealing, money laundering, and all sorts of criminal activity most of us have never even thought of.

As well as that this was a plan they are following. Trump changed the definition of domestic violence in 2019. He has these "women" being the face of his corruption to hide what's in plain sight. Google his golf buddies like his close friend who is a dentist. Albert... read the note he wrote "his King" Trump and now look what is happening. They paid me hush money to not speak about it. I've emailed Gavin. I have receipts. I'm ready to speak out.

N ice comments that are backed up with no proof of what you are saying. Talk about slander. If you want to be taken serious, publish who, what and when.

Says someone who appears to find all this normal and not worth being ashamed of. The every day barbaric actions of people who took an oath to uphold the US Constitution but apparently had their fingers crossed shows that this is a violation of everything that veterans fought to protect and children were raised to respect. Instead we have a return to barbarism.

BAN Fox news and X, like how Brazil banned X. Don't allow them to continue to brainwash people. Other states will follow if you do it, especially blue states.

And ban CNN, CBS and MSNBC at the same time for the same half truths that they spread. Look at this last bunch of hooey from Natasha N publsihed about the Iran Strike. No truth to what she is saying either.

It’s one of the reasons I haven’t watched network or mainstream tv in more than a decade and I get my news from The Guardian, and Italian publications like Corriere, Il Post, Haaretz from Israel or pretty much any other publications or news channels that give unbiased and honest outlooks on news from here. The fact that more than 60% of Americans get their news from social media sites like tiktok, Instagram, facebook and X is astonishing.

You know the old saying at this point, if it is on the internet it must be true. Too bad the majority of people only rely on one or two sources of the news instead of multiple sources as you do.

My favorite part about your lawsuit is how long it takes for you to actually get to the point

1. On March 26, 2021, Dominion Voting Systems filed suit against Fox News for publishing a stream of false statements to support President Trump’s ridiculously bogus claims about the 2020 election.

2. Discovery in that lawsuit laid bare what was already well known—that Fox operates as a propaganda machine for President Trump’s radical right-wing agenda.

3. Yet even to those most acquainted with Fox’s practices, the internal documents disclosed in the Dominion lawsuit painted a shocking picture of a multibillion dollar “news” organization that was willing to carry water for the President’s lies while privately acknowledging the absurdity of those very lies.

4. On April 18, 2023, on the eve of opening statements, Fox agreed to pay Dominion nearly $800 million to avoid the trial.

5. As Associated Press reported, “[T]he agreement shows there is a real financial risk for conservative media that traffic in conspiracy theories. What remains unknown is how much of a deterrent this will be.”

6. Unfortunately, the past two years have shown that the Dominion settlement did not serve as the deterrent many had predicted, as Fox has continued to launder the stream of false information flowing out of the White House.

7. Now, Governor Gavin Newsom has become the latest target of Fox’s continuing efforts to lie and distort on behalf of the President.
