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.
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.
Former vice presidential contender and current aw-shucks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced this week that he won't run for a third term, dogged by a scandal over child care funds that may or may not be going to fraudsters. It's a politically driven mess that not coincidentally focuses on a Black immigrant community, tying the real problem of scammers stealing government funds to the growing MAGA frenzy around an imaginary version of America that thrives on whiteness and Christianity.
Fuentes, who has regularly attacked Vance in the past, calling him childish names like gay and fat, posted to social media on Sunday: Physiognomy is real. Post physique, its handsome thursday. I only believe in beauty and aesthetics!! JD Vance = fat subhuman. Newsom mogs him to death I would vote for him 100x over just because he's handsome. NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!!! YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAn!! Meta AI defines mogs as internet slang for outshining or dominating someone.
Governor Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) notorious press office account spent 2025 repeatedly trolling Republicans, doing so in a style that unmistakably mimicked President Donald Trump's own social media playbook. From all-caps posts to meme-heavy graphics and personal taunts, @GovPressOffice leaned into provocation this year. Trump, in turn, fired back plenty of times on Truth Social, branding Newsom Newscum and incompetent for his handling of June protests against mass deportations in Los Angeles.
In California, Gavin Newsom, he closed churches but kept open strip club which I appreciated and he kept open the liquor stores and the weed stores. It was like, what? And then closed private businesses. He said if you have more than 1,000 people [when you] perform, then they have to bring their vaccine cards. So I said, OK, just sell 999 tickets.' I'm not going to force anyone to do anything.
