Meanwhile, Newsom's own federal investigation appears to be picking up steam:

quote:

Just days ago (reports dated around September 12, 2026), additional details emerged: federal subpoenas issued in early September sought roughly six years of records from the California State Protocol Foundation (a nonprofit that funds Newsom’s international travel with private donations). Investigators requested information on donors, travel and events, communications with aides (including his chief protocol officer), and any use of funds for personal or living expenses. The subpoenas indicate the materials are for a criminal investigation pending before a grand jury in the Eastern District of California.

sfstandard.com

Newsom and his office have consistently called the probe baseless and a form of political weaponization, with no crime found. The DOJ has generally declined to comment on the specifics. No charges against Newsom himself have been publicly announced based on available reporting.


Being masters of projection of course be claims the federal investigation into his shady dealings is "political retribution" while you can hear it from his own cocksucking mouth that he is threatening California citizens with political retribution if they use federal funds from the Political Weaponization fund.

These people are so frickin openly corrupt that it begs belief.

So, tax 100% of any money that comes from the anti-weaponization fund?

Can we also tax 100% of any funds from....say....Lindsey's gofundme or something similar?

Right? I thought California just loved their federal social programs. Not if it comes from Trump to fight their corruption though apparently.

More than likely the reason he’s using the “if Kamala runs “ card he would not seek. He makes weasels sit up and take notice

If they've committed a crime, then they need to be arrested and prosecuted, not over taxed.

Taxation is not a legal penalty, and in that scenario they have been denied due process rights.

Gavin Newsome: "We will tax Californians 100% if you take any funds from Trump"

This is the kind of 4d chess my president loves.
Out yourselves rats, out yourselves.
I'm hoping pubs run this, when Gruesome Newsome tries to run in 28.

The people of California must like being treated poorly and threatened. They keep voting for it election after election.
