🧵 Since @GavinNewsom thinks we're stupid or have no memory, here's a refresher of his autocratic, illogical, unscientific power grabs during COVID. In no particular order:

1) After his French Laundry incident, ordered a "nightly curfew" for 90% of CA
redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
He also DIDN'T follow CDC guidance on masks - he went even more hardcore. redstate.com/jenniferoo/202…
Then he wanted the name and address of every Californian who signed a recall petition. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
While all of our kids were kept out of school in the fall of 2020 (including those with special needs who needed in-person occupational therapy, including mine) Gav's went back to in-person school. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
Which his wife admitted...

redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And he didn't follow his own rules, so when one child was exposed to COVID at school, he lied and said a CHP officer in their security detail exposed the family. (Seriously, what a jerk.) redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
He was sued, and lost, after abusing his power. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
Oh yeah, almost forgot about this one - the equity measures for reopening, including how much of that area has a tree canopy and the density of liquor stores... seriously. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And this @RedState exclusive, where we successfully made reservations at @GavinNewsom's Plumpjack winery over 4th of July wknd, 2020 - but once it got out that they were open, a sudden "emergency" shut the winery down 😂 (gotta take your fun where you can) redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And @GavinNewsom's regulators made crazy rules about having to order food with alcohol so that "bars" wouldn't be open, but wineries would... 🙄 redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And, is Biden the only one with a China problem? Gavin paid $1 BILLION for masks from a Chinese supplier, BYD, an electric vehicle company... they failed to deliver but he paid anyway. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
Don't forget all the violent offenders released to CA streets b/c Gavin was more concerned about THE CRIMINALS getting COVID than our safety. This headline nails it: "Sheriff Refuses to Enforce Lockdown Orders, is Too Busy Re-Arresting Released Convicts" redstate.com/alexparker/202…
And... "An Early Release of Seven Sex Offenders Results in the Early Re-Arrest of Six Sex Offenders" redstate.com/alexparker/202…
Another retaliatory measure - Newsom closed beaches in Orange County (ONLY) because their leaders were uppity. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
But, @GavinNewsom did warn them. FA, FO... right? redstate.com/beccalower/202…
Very early on, he said the quiet part out loud about using this to usher in a progressive era... redstate.com/brandon_morse/…
He was ready TO ENACT MARTIAL LAW to get people to comply with his will. I'm sure there's more in our archives and I will update this. I refuse to allow this man to rewrite history when he's harmed all of us so deeply. redstate.com/jeffc/2020/03/…
And it's not directly related to COVID, but here's a little something I uncovered about him during the pandemic - something he has not cleared up YET, to this day. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And, that cashout refi was a "sweetheart" loan as defined after the Countrywide scandal. AND he had one on his Marin house, too (which he has since sold) redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
BUT, even with all that cold, hard, tax-free cash coming his way (money laundering, anyone?) he didn't bother paying his property taxes on time. But told us that WE had to. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
Even three months after that first post, he still hadn't paid. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
And still tried to enforce ridiculous Thanksgiving gathering restrictions. redstate.com/bonchie/2020/1…
So, churches. Let's get into churches. Gavin wouldn't deem them "essential" and even allowed them to be targeted despite Constitutional protections. (Note, @tedlieu and @davidhogg, if public health emergencies don't affect 2A, they don't affect 1A either) ...
And courageous pastors like John MacArthur held services knowing they'd likely be targeted by authorities redstate.com/alexparker/202…
And another, my friend Rob McCoy, temporarily turned his church into a strip club to be deemed "essential" redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
I tweeted this separately but I don't want it to get lost.
When @GavinNewsom tries to dance away from accountability w/smarmy remarks like, "Who is 'we'?" I think of this boy I wrote about in 2020. The question at the end of the piece stands, Governor. redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
@HerbertCat1 @GavinNewsom November 2020. When many states were open. abc7.com/governor-newso…
ADDING after some claim that DeSantis "took a page out of Newsom's playbook." May 2020, playgrounds at beaches still closed, and the pier was closed too.

So, we’ve talked about CHIRLA and its part in what’s happening in Los Angeles. Just like the org itself, CHIRLA Exec Dir Angelica Salas has her tentacles everywhere. Grab snacks, pull up a chair, and let's go through it. 🧵

On Friday Salas was flanked by four LA City Council members, a CA State Assemblymember, a CA State Senator, and more. Her connections with Karen Bass go back decades. But she’s not just a bigshot in LA.
In 2023, right at the time CHIRLA’s state funding ballooned, Gavin Newsom appointed Salas to the newly-formed CA Racial Equity Commission, a state government entity. What a coincidence.Image
Salas is also on the board of the CA Wellness Foundation, an org started in 1992 when HealthNet, then the state’s largest insurer, converted from nonprofit to for-profit status. CA Wellness Foundation has morphed from its original mission to become a social justice and advocacy group. Here’s what was said in 1991 about how the group would be formed:

“The foundation will be governed by a board of seven trustees, who all have medical or professional health-care backgrounds. The board will disperse its funds through a grant process to community health care centers and other health-related organizations that focus on illness prevention, children's health care and prenatal care.”

And now? There are 14 board members, many of whom have zero background in medicine or professional health-care, and grants to community health care centers focusing on illness prevention, children’s health care and prenatal care are only a portion of the millions they hand out every year – so basically, another layer of funding for agitators.Image
Image
Image
And then we have Unite-LA, a public/private partnership for which Salas is a board member/board secretary. That group claims its mission is to “break through traditional silos to re-focus and re-imagine our education systems to put students first and achieve improved outcomes for Los Angeles’ underserved students.” Putting students first – what a novel concept. But what the org does is more of the same – indoctrinating students and creating malleable Marxist foot soldiers.Image

OK, OK, y'all got me (briefly) back in the game, only because it's my family's hometown we're talking about.

Taxpayer-Funded Riots: Here's What We Found When We Followed the Money in Los Angeles redstate.com/jenvanlaar/202…
Here are some of the "leadership development" things your taxpayer dollars are funding at CHIRLA -

1. Wise Up! "develops leaders, members, allies" in the Marxist cause Image
2. California Dream Network - fighting for DACA program, giving DACA applicants free legal advice/representation Image

In reviewing USDA-APHIS data, CA has BY FAR the highest rate of H5N1 infection in cattle - and that's not bc there are more cattle here than in any other state. (WI has the 2nd most cattle, and ZERO bird flu cases.)

Why the fast spread? Are public health workers spreading it? Image
Here's the link to that letter: cheac.org/wp-content/upl…
Here's USDA's tracker of confirmed cases in livestock - you can select for which type of livestock and date range (last 30 days or whole outbreak) aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…

As if the Homeless Industrial Complex in Los Angeles could be any more inept or corrupt: check out the newest appointment to the LAHSA by the esteemed Hilda Solis... yep, Katie Hill, who was quietly let go by People Assisting the Homeless around the time she ran for Congress 🧵 Image
Hill "will be a fierce advocate for our unhoused neighbors" 😂 okay, sure... just like those unhoused neighbors at HOPICS who got evicted when she forgot to pay the bills... Image
"The L.A. nonprofit HOPICS got $140 million in public funds to house the homeless, but it failed to pay rent and some of its clients wound up back on the streets."

Hill was Deputy Director when this happened. Image

🧵Gavin Newsom learned a lesson after I exposed the truth about his gifted mansion in Fair Oaks, CA, and used a Registered Agent service for the LLC he formed to purchase his new mansion instead of using the Plumpjack registered agent.

But still, how can an entity that was just formed 11/12/24 close the purchase of a $9.1 million home 2 days later?Image
MHBD Farms, LLC purchased the home from Daniel Pritzker, cousin of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and billionaire Hyatt Hotels heir. Newsom and Co. were a little cagier with how they named this LLC. Instead of naming it with the street address, they used the first initials of his children.Image
The property tax bill is hefty, but I guess since an LLC owns it and we don't yet know who the manager is, maybe Gavin won't have to pay it? Over $117,000 a year just for property tax. Image

🧵Hey y'all - as I find groups who are registered to go into a disaster zone and working to help those in western NC and other areas affected by Helene, I'll post in this thread.

Here's the first one:
NC Baptist Disaster Relief is going to be the premier organization for this effort IMO due to their existing infrastructure and network. They need skilled volunteers, cash donations, and more. Here is their page for Helene: baptistsonmission.org/Mission-Projec…
