Hear, hear! For a long time I didn't donate to any national Democratic Party organizations, but more recently I've been donating to the DGA (Democratic Governors Association) and the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State (DASS). What won me over is that their members are based in the states, not "inside the Beltway." It doesn't surprise me that they and their members are helping lead the resistance to Trump II.
Check DGA out. :) It's fabulous that the governors have formed an association - more unity in action and message that way. The DGA and the DLCC both ask for money a lot, as does everyone on the Dem side... Dems are overwhelmingly, ENORMOUSLY out-moneyed by the right.)
And it is a very LARGE something, to be sure. It is something that so MANY can get behind and join, it is INCLUSIVE in its nature so as to be HELPFUL to our country.
And THAT is something indeed, because our country needs some serious help,
complex and comprehensive thinking-into-action, words WITH deeds as the Gov. alluded to the Biblical comment regarding words without action.
What I think about Newsom? When Mayor of SF he visited my K-5 computer lab. He met with 3rd graders... He was interested in each of them, engaged and listening... He stayed longer than our planned mtg because the kids had a lot of good questions. He took time, with respect and interest. Watching his interactions, I could tell he must be a great Dad .. Students felt important and empowered... He's showing up again on a larger platform, my impression of him has not waivered...
I didn't want to mention too loudly, but my school is in one of the most challenged neighborhoods in SF... Hunter's Point. When Newsom stayed even longer to visit with a student, asking her what she wanted to do in the future... She just glowed for the rest of the week, "the Mayor of a big city is interested in my dreams & wishes!!!!" I was verklempt!!!!
I have always liked him and think he’s a smart guy. He’s not perfect, as none of us are, but he’s one of the few Democrats taking the BS head on. The crimes being committed daily by this administration require immediate action. Fight fire with fire, I say.
Sam: I like Newsom right now, but I haven’t always. He’s a bombastic white guy, nowhere near the level of trump, but he loves the limelight. But right now, we need someone unafraid of our “leader” and I love how he’s using the limelight, so more power to him!! (I’m not Californian, so my opinion is based on what I see from afar.)
Gavin is my governor. I live in a red district with a crappy representative Doug LaMalfa. I appreciate how Gavin is fiercely pushing back against a fascist.
I hope I can get better representation up here with redistricting .
And I hope other Democratic governors do the same.
He did a few things a while ago that made me wonder if he was collaborating with our law breaking and seditious Prez. Newsome seems more bold right now. That’s really good. I’m keeping my eye on him, tho.
He’s articulate and intelligent, which the Dems sorely need right now. He’s the right person for this moment to take down Trump, the village idiot. I wish him strength and courage.
I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. Most likely he has a presidential run in mind. That's fine: as the competent governor of a huge and complex state, he's got the qualifications. What concerns me is all the well-meaning people who jump on the bandwagon for any public figure who says good stuff (i.e., stuff they agree with). I wish more of us knew more about how government works and what it takes to be a good governor, or legislator, or cabinet secretary.
Come to think of it -- Trump II may be doing the country a service by demonstrating what abysmally incompetent and/or corrupt "leadership" looks like. Here's hoping we learn from the experience.
As seen with Trump what really matters is who the leader puts around him/herself and whether they take the expert advice. Given the success of California’s government I’d say Newsome doesn’t micromanage, it’s too big a state to do that. He is a little slick and the fact that he was once married to Kimberly Guilfoyle gives me pause but I can live with that if he successfully pushes back on Trump.
I am a native born and life long Californian and I am so proud of my Governor - he knows that you have to stand up to a bully and he's standing up to the biggest bully of all. What we've needed for months is a central spokeperson for the opposition - and no Democrat has yet filled that need - lots of good ones speaking out, but no central message with all the required medial attention - now Gavin is becoming that person. That is what will unite us to resist and to defeat MAGA.
Trump isn’t smart enough to figure out his to stop soiling himself. And he’s going off to meet with the monstrous Putin? Another waste of our tax dollars.
As to Gavin Newsom, I admire his grit. And his by God we are going to save this Democracy attitude. It’s infectious for many. And probably inspired the Alaskans leading a protesting parade today.
Congrats to Hunter Biden for calling out Melania’s attempt to squelch his accusation of her Epstein involvement. She, like her lying spouse, wants no part of a deposition under oath. We’ve seen the pictures!
Our local Indivisible pop-up protest group moved our regular Fri. afternoon street-corner protest to a bridge that crosses over the Interstate in honor of Visibility Brigade's "Be Brave Day". Instead of using their suggested message " Be Brave With Us" we went for something more irreverent:
" GRAB HIM BY THE EPSTEIN FILES"
One of our members with graphic arts skills created the sign. Each neon-yellow letter was on it's own piece of black foam board except for "the" which was in smaller letters diagonally on one board. Letters within the same word were connected by velcro cable ties so that we didn't need one person for each letter. When it was spread out, the sign extended over 40 feet! It was definitely visible to th traffic below!!
We had around 25 people - half of them were our usual Friday afternoon crowd, the others were new faces for me. I think they usually protested elsewhere on different days of the week. The extra people who showed up held signs facing traffic on the bridge or waved big big American flags. All in all it was a good turnout especially considering that the "feels like" Temperature was 103F when we got started.
I watched it and I share the genuine urgency that Newsom expresses about the state of our Democracy! I'm a proud life-time Californian and happy to see Newsom taking a stand!! Hey, we came out of the devastation of the pandemic to become the 4th largest economy in the world! If any state could secede from the union it would be California! Not that I want to, just sayin...
Why not. I think it would really make a statement. At least a full scale tax revolt. Even though I'm an expat (CA native) I still pay CA and Federal taxes and I cheer Gavin on when he suggests we should stop sending our tax dollars to DC. I love that idea although I have no idea how it would work and how many of us would go to jail for tax evasion.
Ditto to Kathi’s reply. I can only tolerate small bites of news given the high level of inhumanity and chaos.

Putin can’t go to any country that is part of the ICC. He has a warrant out for his arrest for war crimes. Unfortunately, we have not signed on to the ICC so he can come here to meet with the felon
So we at wendy the druid went full on Epstein again (because thats just fun, and I know it pisses off the administration.) But then Black choppers havent shown up at my house yet, so Ill keep doing it.
This meeting today- however they try to message it as a peace keeping exercise- is nothing more than Trump grandstanding, trying to give the impression that he is actually working. Is there a golf course nearby?
Say what you will about Newsom but I wholeheartedly stand behind him. He is not only using words, but he's putting those words into action and hopefully, other Democratic Governors will follow. Furthermore, our Congressional Democrats, while doing alot of talking, haven't been quick to action. If Newsom fuels that passion to act, well I'm 120% behind that.

it's important to understand who's BUYING DEMOCRACY:
IS HOEKSTRA AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT? There is no indication that he was 'naturalized.'
WIKIPEDIA: PETER HOEKSTRA:
excerpt: Early life and education
Hoekstra was born Cornelis Piet Hoekstra in Groningen, Netherlands. He moved to the U.S. with his parents at the age of three, and Anglicized his name to Peter Hoekstra.[3] He graduated from Holland Christian High School (Holland, Michigan) in 1971.[4] He received a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Hope College in 1975 and an MBA from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business in 1977. He then joined office furniture maker Herman Miller and remained there for 15 years, eventually becoming vice president of marketing.
Apologies for intruding in SCOTT'S very thorough post, but WE support our NEIGHBORS, CANADA & MEXICO!
Keep asking QUESTIONS!
A brand of COFFEE I bought for years cost ~ $5. Now it's + $15 due to the ORANGE TURD!
BANANAS - you got CHEAP BANANAS at the expense of corruption & exploitation by CIA/US that supported violent THUGS trained at the SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS...responsible for MASSACRES that ELLIOT ABRAMS, convicted LIAR, never saw.
They believed it would never return to haunt the U.S.?
DAFFY DON's tariffs now target BANANAS! Used to cost ~ 44 or 46 cents - now cost 57 cents to support DEMENTIA DON'S LUNACY to defend CORRUPT BOLOSONARRO who regurgitated the SCAM as Trumpers' instructed him.
Edward Snowden & Jullian Assange spoke the TRUTH & were condemned.
PAY ATTENTION TO GOP VOTE RIGGING & THE ONGOING FIGHTS!
Check out DEMOCRACY DOCKET that's been reporting - pay attention to your state.
Next time a REPUBLICAN tells you that they're the PARTY OF FAMILY VALUES:
SC Rep. RJ May accused of distributing child sexual abuse material, MAGA SOUTH CAROLINA SEX PERFERT ROBERT JOHN MAY III : a member of the FREEDOM CAUCUS:
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Representative Robert John May III, 38, has been arrested and charged in connection to a child sexual abuse material investigation.
According to the Department of Justice, a federal grand jury in Greenville returned a 10-count indictment against May.
According to court records, in April 2024, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a tip from the messaging app Kik.
My thought on the so-called Summit is that we not only have to worry about 47 selling out Ukraine, we have to worry about him selling out the U.S. I wouldn’t put anything past that guy.
I also have thoughts on Hunter Biden. I think he has every right to question the relationship between Trump’s wife and Jeffrey Epstein. He went through the wringer when his Dad ran against him in 2020. Karma is a beautiful thing! And I would believe Hunter before I believed anyone with the surname Trump (not including niece Mary, of course)
What’s fair is fair. If Trump and his lackeys can create a reality of their choosing why shouldn’t Hunter be able to? Isn’t it his first amendment right to state his opinion? And there is photographic evidence Melania knew Epstein. Given her soft porn pix that have come out it wouldn’t be surprising in the least if she “worked” for Jeff.
Good job protesters as opposed to the traitor Murkowski who is welcoming the war criminal. What has happened to our country. We like child abuse, we like war criminals? WTF

Gavin Newsom is starting to win a lot of folks over. But what do we all think about him?
I think it’s a good thing to have governors standing up to trump. Mocking the orange melon is a great way to divert HIS attention.
Mik: There’s an org called Democratic Governors Association that I give to periodically. Governors are in the position to make change happen.
Hear, hear! For a long time I didn't donate to any national Democratic Party organizations, but more recently I've been donating to the DGA (Democratic Governors Association) and the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State (DASS). What won me over is that their members are based in the states, not "inside the Beltway." It doesn't surprise me that they and their members are helping lead the resistance to Trump II.
⬆️".. more recently I've been donating to the DGA (Democratic Governors Association) and the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State (DASS)."
You can also add DAGA (Democratic Attorneys General Association) to that list.
I agree about supporting state-level groups like these.
Me too. My Guv is Andy Beshear and that’s another reason why I support the DGA.
Mine is Jared Polis (for now - Senator Michael Bennet is running to replace him once Polis steps down. I love both of them)
They are terrific!
True!
I haven't heard of the DGA. The DLCC keeps asking me for money. I just want to see the Democrats kick butt.
Check DGA out. :) It's fabulous that the governors have formed an association - more unity in action and message that way. The DGA and the DLCC both ask for money a lot, as does everyone on the Dem side... Dems are overwhelmingly, ENORMOUSLY out-moneyed by the right.)
The Democrats need to start reaching out to people with money.
I sure hope so.
My understanding is that Gov Walsh was not supporting that organization.
I’m not sure who that is (?)
I support him and anyone willing to stand up against the trump regime.
Keep Fighting Gov. Newsome!🫶💪💪💪💪
I think he’s got the balls to fight tRump and I’m all for that!!
So am I!
At least he is doing SOMETHING!!
And it is a very LARGE something, to be sure. It is something that so MANY can get behind and join, it is INCLUSIVE in its nature so as to be HELPFUL to our country.

Yes, the marriage to Kimberly is a little cringy but nobody's perfect and he's meeting the moment so I have to give him props for that.

Putin can’t go to any country that is part of the ICC. He has a warrant out for his arrest for war crimes. Unfortunately, we have not signed on to the ICC so he can come here to meet with the felon
I can’t wrap my head around why America has not signed on to the ICC.
Why on the earth did the us NEVER sign as a part of the ICC?
Yes they can
