Following my criticism, Gavin Newsom has suddenly cancelled his trip to Scotland for the UN Climate Change conference. The California Globe asked: “Did Kevin Kiley shame Gov. Newsom into cancelling his much-anticipated UN trip?” A spokesperson “declined to comment about what prompted Newsom to change his plans.” Granted, the Glasgow “delegation” still includes cabinet members, legislators, […]
Gavin Newsom is bound for Scotland to attend the UN Climate Change conference. In the absence of our jet-setting Governor, we’re fighting on several fronts: Port Crisis: I’m calling for a Special Session of the Legislature to address a crisis that threatens the whole country. Newsom refuses to take simple steps like reverse AB 5 to

Congratulations to Governor Newsom. California officially has the highest unemployment rate in the United States. We now account for a third of the nation’s jobless claims. Gas prices are also higher than anywhere, as high as $7.59 a gallon. And shorter showers are on the way. Newsom declared a drought emergency because reservoirs are low,
Yesterday, In-N-Out was shut down by San Francisco. Here’s the company’s response: “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government. We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business.” My tweet about In-N-Out’s stand has been seen and shared by more people

Gavin Newsom is asking a Court of Appeals to remove the vaccine mandate for a union that gave him $1.75 million. At least now we know his exact price. Instead of a mandate in this case, Newsom insists “educational resources” and “access to clinicians” are enough. As the union explained, “The key word is ‘encourage’ — not ‘mandate.’”
Gavin Newsom has repeatedly suggested a state’s current COVID “case rate” is the measure of its success. Currently, Florida’s case rate is lower than California’s. Florida has fared better in every respect, including age-adjusted mortality. Their kids have been in school without masks and businesses open without mandates. Nontheless, Newsom continues to brag about imposing

Remember the ban on plastic straws? Gavin Newsom just extended it to forks, chopsticks, ketchup, and other “foodware accessories.” I only wish I could tell you that was the worst bill he signed this week. Yesterday, Newsom signed the CRT bill. This isn’t a bill allowing CRT to be taught in our schools. It’s a
Another California law has been ruled unconstitutional. With AB 32, Newsom and the Legislature tried to force ICE to close its detention facilities. Today the 9th Circuit held this violates the Supremacy Clause. Next year, Newsom and the legislators who passed this law will face voters. Perhaps more importantly, several transformative initiatives will be on the ballot.

Today Gavin Newsom violated the rights of millions of California families with a statewide vaccine mandate for students. Here is my full statement as Vice Chair of the Assembly Education Committee. Just days ago, Newsom actively opposed a mandate for prison guards. The reason: their union gave him $1.75 million in the Recall. Special Interests can buy their way

That Gavin Newsom cheated in the Recall is not in dispute. He did so openly and his allies admitted it. I said so directly in a June 28 speech on the Assembly Floor. Newsom changed the laws for his own Recall right before the vote. He moved the election date in the manner of a
