He shouldn't be president but I'm definitely looking forward to the shit show that will be the Democratic primary. He should definitely run.

So glad he’s out as governor, maybe his replacement will find that 50 billion he lost trying to fix homelessness

he's such a 2 faced turd

Wow no one reads articles, looks like insurance companies and hedge funds are taking advantage of the utility companies. But yeah nEwSoMe bAd

"Insurance companies have launched an ad campaign against what they call a potential “utility bailout,” that would leave them unable to recover from the power companies the costs of paying homeowners’ insurance claims."

"Newsom and the lawmakers say utilities are held responsible for too much after a wildfire and that bad actors like hedge funds are taking advantage to get a cut."
