3 weeks ago - California Governor Gavin Newsom was reportedly left feeling under the weather - and not just politically - after a shock confrontation with a tech titan who decided he had had enough of the Golden State. At an exclusive treehouse Christmas party north of San Francisco, Google co-founder Sergey Brin is said to have bluntly told the Democrat he was packing up and leaving California, according to a bombshell Bloomberg report. The billionaire, whose fortune is estimated at a staggering $260 billion, allegedly pointed to a controversial proposal to slap a 5 percent tax on the ultra-wealthy - a move that could cost him dearly. Sources claim Newsom, already 'cold and hungry' at the glitzy gathering hosted by crypto mogul Chris Larsen, was caught off guard as Brin and his girlfriend delivered the news. But the awkward exchange did not end there. The governor reportedly spent months complaining about a 'lingering cold' he believed he picked up from the couple during the frosty encounter.

April 15, 2026 - The scrambled race for California governor left in the wake of Eric Swalwell’s sexual misconduct allegations isn’t officially Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mess. But it’s one that many top Democrats want him to consider trying to clean up. Since CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle broke their stories about Swalwell on Friday night, Newsom has been in a marathon of calls and meetings about the governor’s race, according to a dozen leading Democrats, several of whom have spoken with him. Four people familiar with Newsom’s thinking tell CNN he’s still trying to make sense of where the race actually stands now, eager for new polling data and trying to sort out whether the Swalwell collapse intensifies the chances of California Democrats’ red-alert scenario: Two Republicans advancing in the nonpartisan June 2 primary and locking Democrats out of the governorship entirely.

April 3, 2026 - But nowhere is this trend clearer than in the messaging of Gavin Newsom, the California governor and presidential hopeful. More than any other Democrat, he has embraced an unapologetic, some might say toxic, form of masculinity. Suddenly aggressive, thick-skinned and partial to the macho lingo of the online right, he seems to have concluded that progressive models of manliness — the deferential white male ally, the “girl dad” concerned about reproductive rights — are passé. His instincts may unsettle progressives, but Mr. Newsom has accurately identified a Democratic weakness. His attempts to address the problem, though often misguided, nonetheless point his party in the direction it must travel to beat back the right. Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

1 week ago - That’s a matter both of good governance and the reality, not lost on Newsom or his advisers, that a financially teetering California would dog Newsom on the national stage. “It would be very easy for the next governor to say, at least in the near term: ‘It’s Gavin’s problem and I have to clean it up,’” said a Capitol executive granted anonymity to candidly describe dynamics. “The bigger gap the next guy’s got to fill, the bigger the New York Post headlines will be about how Gavin ruined the state.” · Newsom was buoyed by a higher-than-expected surge in income taxes, much of it from capital gains, and a series of · initial public offerings could bring another windfall. But his blueprint also bends on his longstanding aversion to raising or enacting taxes. While he plans to cut the cost of the state’s health insurance system, in particular by asking undocumented immigrants to pay more for subsidized coverage, he’s also proposing to bring in more revenue by capping corporate tax credits,

Protesters launched anti-ICE demonstrations around the country, most notably in Los Angeles, where the riots cost the city $32 million and led to hundreds of arrests.
