In his veto message, Newsom said the fee increase made little sense since a car buyer would be paying a dealership for only minutes of data entry. At a time when Californians are already struggling with the high cost of living, Newsom wrote, this bill would raise the document processing fee to three times the current $85 cap far beyond what an inflation adjustment would justify.

Gavin Newsom this week again denied parole for Patricia Krenwinkel, who has spent more than half a century in prison for her role in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca killings orchestrated by Charles Manson and perpetrated by his followers. Nearly five months after California's parole board found the 77-year-old suitable for release, the governor on Monday reversed the decisionand said Krenwinkel currently poses an unreasonable danger to society if released from prison at this time'.

This action appears to intentional to circumvent yesterday's ruling by a federal judge,

The Friday video is only the latest jab in a duel that's come to epitomize the subterranean lows American political dialogue has reached. Trump has spent the past decade eroding political norms with a constant stream of name-calling, overstatements, outright lies and all-caps social media posts aimed at whoever crosses his mind. Newsom has recently responded in kind, with his own stream of rants and foul-mouthed social media posts, usually aimed at Trump or one of Trump's followers.

On September 20th, presumably in response to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, the governor tweeted, "BECAUSE OF HIS HORRIFIC MUSIC, CALIFORNIA WILL INDEFINITELY SUSPEND KID ROCK FROM PERFORMING IN THE GOLDEN STATE. YOU'RE WELCOME! - GCN." Over the summer, the governor also posted a fake endorsement poster reading, "Kid Rock Wants You to Support Governor Newsom," to which the musician responded, "The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ."

Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars; people disappearing; no due process; no oversight; zero accountability happening in the United States of America today, he said. People ask, Well is authoritarianism you being hyperbolic?' Bullsh(t we're being hyperbolic. If you're black and brown community, it's here in this country. Newsom argued, These are not just authoritarian tendencies, these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government, before saying he would push back if masked ICE agents in an unmarked car tried to apprehend him.

the worst part, though, Charlie no BS, true story literally last night trying to put my son to bed, he's like, No, Dad. I just-, what time? What time's Charlie gonna be here? What time?' And I'm like, dude you're in school tomorrow. He's 13. He's like, No, no.' This morning, wakes up at 6 something, he's like, I'm coming.' I'm like-, he literally would not leave the house, Newsom recalled.

And my state of mind radically changed at that moment. And our media shift [sic] changed. Our research, our clarity, the conditions changed, so we had to change. And we were no longer apologetic about things. I wasn't trying to play nice. And I know a lot of good people play nice. Talk about what you really focused on every day. And people will pay attention to your ten point plan on affordability.

I want to make a rare note of gratitude to Governor Newsom, said Kennedy. He has surprised all of us and done something intelligent. You don't have to be a senior at Cal Tech to know that's in response to the [Donald] Trump administration's threat to send federal law enforcement officials, but look, I'll take it, he continued. If that's what it takes to get Governor Newsom to stop being a princess, I'll take that too.

The issue's macro-politics are that while gas-emitting industries and business groups favor its renewal as a predictable way of meeting emission reduction goals, environmental groups see it as business buying exemptions from pollution. They would prefer direct company-by-company regulation. Within that conflict are other issues, such as steadily dropping proceeds from the emission auctions, which emitters with vital products should be given permits without cost, and how auction revenues should be spent.

Top UC leaders will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the federal government and have identified guardrails to protect the nation's premier public university system after the Trump administration cut more than half a billion dollars in UCLA research grants and demanded a $1-billion fine to atone for antisemitism, according to high-placed UC officials. The talks with the Justice Department are just beginning and so far involve 10 of the 24 UC regents, including chair Janet Reilly and UC President James B. Milliken. The group held its first publicly announced meeting last week after an emergency convening of all regents Aug. 11.

Maybe Newsom should try the Pete-Bobby challenge: 100 push-ups, 50 pull-ups in 10 minutes, said Watters on his show Jesse Watters Primetime. Let's see what he's got, 'cause last time we looked he was knocking down Chinese kids like bowling pins. Watters then played a video of Newsom accidentally knocking over and falling on a child while playing basketball during a 2023 trip to Beijing.

Newsom's press office runs the account, @GovPressOffice, which has, for all intents and purposes, turned that social media feed into a political parody mocking Trump and his Republicans allies, posting hot takes on their GOP initiatives around voting, redistricting, and Ukraine, just to name a few-all while mimicking the president's style of lavishly praising himself and insulting, often viciously, those who disagree with him.
