I honestly don’t get what Newsom thinks his future in the party is. Between this and Paramount merger he’s just not close to where Dem primary voters are
Bernie Sanders and I are standing for a 5% tax on California billionaires, so 3.5 million Californians and poor kids don’t lose their healthcare.
Gavin Newsom is standing with the billionaires and supporting Proposition 42 to stop a billionaire tax from ever happening.

You know what we don't talk enough about?
Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992.
So much going on!
