Newsom: "That $400m Qatari plane? That's not a $400m gift. It cost you $936m. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency ... "

Not going with him. It is part of the presidential fleet. If they allow him to take that plane, he shld reimburse us for it. If it is his, a violation of emoluments and impeach him. Trump said it was a gift to America.

Then he needs to fundraise for his library and include payment for any expenses paid for the plane to be refitted. Of course, Dems should tell him it was a violation to accept the plane during his presidency and confiscate it.

Now why can't we as a legitimate government claw back property given to the US government, stolen by violations of the emoluments clause. If we get the House and Senate this November, booting his dumbass out of the Whitehouse and prosecuting him for criminal political malfeasance. Reasonable right?

a gift to all future presidents, made safe for them to travel with our $936mTax Dollars. The Felon Trump is claiming it is his personal property. Another example of Conning us out of our Money. It’s our money makes it the Country’s property. If he wants it then By dam make him pay the Country back.

And after rushing the retrofitting job of the bribe-jet, it still wasn’t ready to fly, causing Trump to put reporters, his own staff, and members of our military in harm’s way, because he is a horrible, selfish turdbag.

I kept saying that Greenland needs to stay aware & prepared because the US President doesn't respect sovereignty. He's opening up Native American land in the US. No respect for sovereignty. Imagine if developers took over MaraLago land, bulldozed it, gouged it, dropped extraction equipment on it.

Remember that 'believe people when they tell you who they are' phrase? Well Trump's been telling us that he's been angling for Boeing to build him a Custom Retirement 747 (for free) for years. Think about that every time you see his name and Boeing/US Government Contract in the same sentence.

Can someone Explain about the Technology inside that Airplane (That Taxpayers paid for)if Trump is allowed to keep it then He can Share it with whosever he pleases Think about that And Believe me the Braggadocious Trump will start having ppl touring that Airplane He can’t help himself 😤

He is not a leader. He is a coward and a convict. He is a criminal evading prosecution. He IS the worst of the worst. Remove trump and his administration now before many more innocent people suffer and die from his greed and ignorance.

If we paid for it, it is ours but he plans to keep it. And it wasn't a "gift" - as I've read, he begged it off of them after 'Donna' Trump was awed by the overdone "decor"

He THINKS it’s going with him into his post-presidency. I’m counting on our new, Democrat-led Congress to make sure that doesn’t happen!

I get being mad about defense spending, but I’ve never seen any budget line for a “presidential private plane” retrofit approaching $1B. Air Force One upgrades are pricey, but the numbers here feel off. Anyone got sourcing?

Criminal capitalists - capitalists without a moral compass - have taken over the federal government and are destroying it every day. Hundreds of thousands of hardworking civil servants were fired by some DOGE ketamine doping college drop put with daddy issues who despises people who are good folks.

DONALD TRUMP IS STEALING OUR TAXPAYERS MONEY & USING IT LIKE HIS PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT WHILE CUTTING OUR SUBSIDIZES FOR HEALTHCARE, SNAP, MEDICARE DRUGS FOR SENIORS, FUNDING FOR KIDS CANCER RESEARCH, VETS HEALTHCARE, OUR FOOD SAFETY DEPT, OUR SECRET SERVICE FUNDS, OUR NATIONAL PARKS FUNDS ETC! 😡😡😡😡😡

Worst part is he is not buying anything tangable so its just money wasted If he was buying gold or assets would be great once hes dead they could be sold to recover a portion of the waste but as is its all a giant Debt and Loss to the citizens of America

Not saying these politicians of both parties are not paid power hungry stooges, but the democrats are the party trying to change the establishment. You must recognize that. I understand the duplicity of saying something and doing another.

Only if they own the whole congress and the SCOTUS... The Dems will be playing by the book and will try to find a common middle ground with literal traitors to the USA and Nazis. The USA is rotten to its core and there is just no way forward...

Anybody out there that wants Gavin Newsome to run for president tell me specifically the policies he promotes that you like and tell me how he's not just a "pick me" flip-flopping politician who looks the right way in the most disingenuous way possible. I call em like I see em

Who gives a shit. He makes important points that need to be heard. If he runs the voters will decide. But remember.....not all candidates win but they can bring issues that need to be addressed into the Conversation. ALL PLAY A ROLE!!

I honestly don’t give a shit at this point. Getting someone charismatic who can win is the most important thing anyway. You need someone at the top of the ticket that can drive out voters that will vote D the rest of the ticket. The president doesn’t pass legislation anyway.

A. Reduced homelessness by 19% when previously it has ONLY gotten worse B. Moved California energy to clean renewable sourcing C. Gotten funding from a HOSTILE government through several natural disasters I’m so sick of the Democratic purity test— it has f**** us for years. Perfect? No. Decent? Yes.

He’s no decent though. He doesn’t actually help the homeless, he throws out their last remaining items. He won’t sign a billionaire tax law that the people voted for. He’s not a good option. It’s more of the same. As a trans Californian, he’s my absolute last choice for president.

Respectfully, he’s your absolute last choice for president? Would you choose Vance? And any 3rd party vote (or not voting) would potentially be a vote for Vance or whatever republican yahoo out there and we continue Project 2025.

You”re letting a Republican run news outlet dictate your view of a Democratic politician. They show him helping with cleanup and you bite. Do I want a better candidate? Sure. But as a parent to queer children I can tell you California could have fallen a lot further with a worse leader.

He's a good liberal who can run a grown up economy. He may not pass the bluesky purity test, but he'll beat whomever inherits the trump mantle. I'm not as sure about Pete or AOC. How about, instead of putting dem candidates down in maga-esque fashion, you lift some up that you would support?

SB 509 would've required California to recognize when a foreign government threatens, surveils, harasses, or attacks people living in California because of their political views or activism. Newsom vetoed it in October 2025 after Hindutva extremists lobbied him en masse to do so.

prismreports.orgVetoed California bill divides Indian AmericansSB 509 proposed to train local police to recognize “transnational repression.” Sikh and Hindu groups were split over the bill’s goals

What is a grown up economy? Is that when an appoint oil and PG&E execs to run the state’s energy policies because they donated millions to your campaign? Or is that bragging about your teenage son listening to Andrew Tate & Charlie Kirk? Is that throwing trans kids under the bus?

He’s a Republican in a blue tie. Him having Kirk on his podcast before he became a blood fountain should have turned us off to him. He loves his billionaire buddies just like MAGA.

And what are YOU doing to better the country? Right now, he's the only one willing to fight. I've lived in CA since birth and will say that I wasn't that excited about him being governor. He changed my mind. He's not perfect, but he is intelligent and can read the room. 1/2

WTF are you attacking the man who led the fight against gerrymandering with Prop 50? What are you doing to help democrats gain a governing majority in 2026? Stop trying to sow division. Motivate people to GOTV!

I m in the uk. The names who appear here are newsome, Mandani and the new guy just selected for the dems … Abdul????…honestly you need to go with anyone willing to stand up and risk their life to oppose the GOP. I understand why you may be fussy but the stakes are high for us all.

From what i’ve seen. He’d be best utilized making witty retorts to the batshit crazy things right wing politicians say. Also doing sit downs like this. Where he points how corrupt and awful the gop is

I never voted for him. He left SF a mess. He threw money at agencies for the homeless, but very little of that money actually went towards helping them. We know that covid money was scammed by his staff and prisoners. They couldn't even get unemployment addresses of other people correct. 🙅‍♂️ on POTUS

Well, there was the time that he cut rooftop solar incentives to help SCE & PG&E pay their shareholders while they continued to burn down the state

Newsom also cooperates with ice, he won’t tax the billionaires, he will try so hard for some “moderate republican” votes instead of caring for trans or homeless people. Let alone immigrants.

If you were paying attention, you would know of the many accomplishments of Newsom: managing the 4th largest economy on the planet successfully, increasing minimum wage in CA-highest in the country, standing up for women's rights especially abortion rights.. Gavin is a strong leader & brilliant.

No you don't call them like you "see" them. You are but hurt because of "one" policy. Newsom favors women's rights in sports, as his daughter is an athlete. I am also a female athlete who does NOT want to compete with BIO males (trans)-it is not fair on a physical level. U keep MAGA in office.👎

Well I’ll start with highest taxes,open borders, homelessness extremes, highest gas prices,extreme COVID shutdown (while dining out himself),huge state deficit, state with highest outmigration,high crime in cities (sf has improved),mass corporate migration, city fires,fucked his best friends wife🤷🇺🇸

Is Newsome a pedophile? A rapist? Convicted of any crimes? Has Gavin ever eluded that he'd fk his own daughter? Has Newsome ever said that he could shoot a man on the corner of 5th avenue and still win the presidency? Is there a mug shot of Gavin? #GavinNewsome2028

Isn't that plane property of the American people? He got it as the President not as Trump? And if it was a personal gift, how is he allowed to use Pentagon resources to retrofit? In that case it should come out of his own pocket and it should be used only for private travel.

ICYDK our Republic is ☠️. It'll never serve justice for all ever again. We need a better system. bsky.app/profile/vlf7...

From fb as it's where I've been working on breaking the fools conditioning. I did get the alt text loaded for these, apologies for my past mistakes. We're in 🚨⚠️🚨 & many dk it yet. Please share with your ❤️ ones cuz Justice 4 All is ☠️ & 🗽 is next. #TrueAmericanPatriots fight for & to perfect 🗽&⚖️4A.

The ultimate luxury upgrade: a plane that costs $400m in cash but $936m in "social stability." It’s just creative accounting—trading the safety net for a gold-plated fuselage. Efficiency at its finest.

I hope someone is keeping track of his fraudulent use of taxpayer money. Including locking people up in his friends holding cells. They’re keeping people who have documentation to live & work in the US in immigrant detention centers for months. Costing thousands in taxpayer dollars.

The next president should just pull Trump's security clearances and tell him he can't have the plane as he doesn't have clearance for it.

How come this dimwit managed to con America the second time, or did Nazi Musk buy him the presidency so as they can both rob the public purse🤔

I'm reminded of Obama ending the long presidential practice of staying at the Waldorf Astoria hotel when in NYC. He did that bc it had been bought by a Chinese organization and it was believed it could not be secure. Any reason to think better of this Qatari plane?

Except doesn't federal law state that any gifts to the president are the property of the US government and The People? Does no one remember the NPS asking the Clinton's to return gifted furnishings and items that were packed up and taken away by mistake? That's OUR plane, not his.

Gavin newsom is really good at pointing out obvious issues w the trump administration. That's it. No platform, no good ideas, no pushback, no vision, just complaining. A whole campaign of "i'm not trump" while criminalizing homelessness and being a whole ass zionist.

Despite being a Newsom supporter for decades, he failed the most important test of his career. Fifty governors and state AGs should be held accountable for their failures to protect their people and the Constitution from lawless federal agents.

My understanding was No gifts for the new prez, and families... Many first ladies have mentioned how bummed out they were when they received something really cool...but they returned it. This maggot returns nothing, it costs us taxpayers $, and NO ONE DOES A THING. PRIORITY 1: fix our corrupt SCOTUS

OMG WHY DIDN’T THE MEDIA SAY THIS WHEN IT HAPPENED. *pant pant pant* We all watched it in horror and this is the first time I’ve seen anybody comment on what an ACTUAL CRIME this is!

He’s right of course, but I’ll never understand the measured tone. There needs to be shouting and shouting/mocking/shaming/insulting those responsible whenever they’re out in public. Get angry and stay angry until we put a stop to all of this treason. Be like South Korea. Be like Hungary, ffs!

Not sure if this is relevant, but SO many elected members of GOPs in congress have consistently avoided their town halls--blocking the chance to scream out in that platform. It’s like Republicans in Congress stopped paying attention to their own constituents & began serving Captain Crazy Pants. 😳

The White House & the Reflecting Pool are not his & look what we're letting him get away with. He knows full well pardons & immunity from SCOTUS are his stay out of prison. Bulldozing & excavating in Big Bend is his real estate project with taxpayer dollars. To hell will federal land trusts.

The boy from queens looks at the beauty of nature and thinks strip mining Not 1 GOP senator or member of the house has done ANYTHING to control him 37% think everything is fine and hes a good christian & wonderful racist Good grief

Fine take the plane. Just as long as the next DEM president takes back all the classified avionics making it a giant paperweight he can never make airworthy again.

I seriously doubt that a Democratic controlled Senate will vote to allow trump to keep that "gift" or any other "gift" he received from a foreign government.

Qatar made the quintessential "white elephant" gift (google the legend)... and Trump was EAGER to accept it because he knew the cost of it's food and care would not come out of his pocket. He just gets to ride around like a maharaja on his "magnificent" white elephant.

I am sure he will probably run for President, but I really would love to see Newsom as AG. He won't be a Merrick Garland, that much I do know!!

🇨🇦 Presidents and First Families are not allowed to accept personal gifts - used to be: unless value is less than $80.00 Over that amount the gift(s) are property of the WH/govt Includes rings, gold trophies, etc

l wish people would stop repeating that HE IS GOING TO TAKE IT WITH HIM. Instead say "He thinks he is taking it with him ! 😡 Only after he reimburst taxpayers for the upgrades he charged US; at the least. 😤
