I’ve had my complaints with Newsom over the years, but he’s handling this moment exactly right. And Ted Cruz is throwing an absolute fit about California redistricting. 🤣🤣🤣

He's stepping up to these moments of insanity and calling Krasnov's bluffs by mirroring that sh*t right back at that pumpkin head!
What did you see! Don't tease me, show me!!!
I agree with your reservations about Newsom, but you are correct that this is being handled in a stellar fashion. Also, anything that pisses off Ted Cruz brings joy to my heart.
👍 love pissing off Cruz for sure!
#tedcruz is a high functioning psychopath whose goal is the destruction of democracy and the imposition of a Fascist regime with himself as its head
Fuck Ted Cruz.
This is the kind of reaction we've all been dying for Democrats to take since last November!
True, but Congressional Dems are… 💤 💤 💤 💤 💤 💤 💤 💤 💤 💤 They need to wale the fuck up!
Anytime you're driving Ted Cruz to throw a fit, you're doing something right.
Ted Cruz can whine all he wants. We are going to beat the shit out of them come mid-terms.
As I've said for years: Newsom is not a perfect man but he's better than every Republican.
Perfectly stated!
Did he fly to Cancun in this TX hour of need?
Shadenfreude in full effect🖕🏼 From CA with love! Xoxo❄️☀️💥
Now if he can just stop throwing unhoused and trans people under the bus....
THIS!💯 We are a powerful force in the country. We need to be the state that doesn’t compromise on human rights, doesn’t throw people and issues under the bus, that figures out our non-negotiables and fights for solutions. I believe THIS moment, of Dems FINALLY saying FUCK OFF is paradigm shifting.
Exactly. 💯
That makes it even better, says Texas.
Rafael has something to say?
Ugh! NO. Well, Alberta (mostly Calgary) is basically 'Texas North'.
Fuck Ted Cruz.
Cruz? I thought for sure he was on vacation... somewhere...
Fuck Ted Cruz. Isn’t he due to flee the country again?
Ted!
All I can say Go Gavin!!!!
Hey Ted, if you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen
Anyone who triggers teddy, is good with me. Cruz is an ivy league, dark money funded, oil & gas snake.
all true, with emphasis on the snake
🤣🤣🤣 When does cruz NOT throw a hissy-fit tantrum?
Ted Cruz can't be taken serious. He is Trump's whiny bitch doll.
I'm with you! Anything that gets under Cruz's slimy skin is okay with me!
He gets it. The Trump Admin is just a reality show.
Yes he is. As a Governor whose state is being targeted by Trump, he is handling it exactly right. Hopefully other blue state governors will use this as a blue print (pun intended) as Trump starts to target their state.
Ted who?
I agree 💯. Pleasantly surprised. I think other blue state governors should consider the same. Really put the fear into Ted Cruz and many other republicans.
Illinois’ awesome gov’r Pritzker has done some similar also!
This shouldn’t even be a question. If these blue state leaders don’t start working together soon, it’s gonna be too late to do anything of substance
In the news conference, Newsom invited other governors to join with him and fight back.
👏🏻♾️
Ironically, 'Grandpa' Al Lewis ran for governor of NY as a Green candidate, and got enough votes to secure a line on the ballot for the next four years.
❤️❤️❤️

I don't think anybody thinks that the border patrol surrounding the entire venue was anything but a trump scare tactic.
Nothing make me happier than Cruz throwing a hissy fit... signed, a GOOD Texan (yes, we exist and there are more of us than you know).
Exactly. We would know the real number of good Texans if the maps were drawn fairly. Stay safe. We need you♥️🇺🇸
Awwwww. Does the bloated roadkill carcass have the sadz? Do tell!
Anyone who gets Cancun Cruz to whine like a little bitch is a rock star!
Newsom would have prevailed over Trump.
The whole Republican schtick is this outraged act all the while intending to gerrymander more red states districts.
Anything they can do, we can do better. And they hate that.
Gov Newsom and Gov Pritzker.......get it. And I for one am here for it. Fight or FO.
Ted Cruz's fit means it's working
Excellent! That alone pleases me!
had to tune into Fox to hear them make fun of him. go Newsom go! they're scared of him and obviously starting their anti-newsom campaign.
Cruz can eat a dick!
Bonus. 😂
Republican: Only we can do evil shit. Everyone else must not do evil shit.
Sure, yeah, Newsome... but Ted Cruz is always an insufferable dildo
Newsom is a political hack who is so shallow he doesn't even register as superficial.
Typical hypocrisy from Ted. Didn’t Trump say his Dad was involved in Kennedy’s assassination.
If Cruz is upset maybe he should just go on vacation. Maybe Mexico (again).
Or Greece
Newsom is handling this moment exactly right. That’s all that’s important to me.
👍👍👍
Let Ted the Temu Werewolf howl all he wants. No one cares
Newsom is doing exactly what democrat leadership should have been doing all along.
From the Bahamas? Where is Ted Cruz?
Any day Cruz is throwing a fit is a good day.
Like him or not, Gavin Newsom is becoming the de-facto leader of the Democratic Party. And as usual, nobody gives a fuck what Ted Cruz thinks.
He's got a good team that gets him winded up every day.
Drill, baby drill on that nerve Newsom hit! More of it from everyone, please! Trump is now scared of Newsom.
if CRUZ don't like it -- it must be the right thing to do
Any dem under 75 needs to grab a fucking clue and go full Newsom.
Then Newsom's trolling is already worth it.
I absolutely love his trolling of dump. I bet that pissed him off.
Please follow Gov. Newsom and support however you can. bsky.app/profile/gove...
Ted Cruz is upset because he hasn't been on TV in a hot minute.
Poor Cancun Cruz 😂
No one from Texas has any standing to talk about redistricting.
Here we go again with the purity disclaimer 🙄
He’s our “Michael” right now!
Of course that would be the response of Cruz, he is good at righteous indignation, especially when it is not righteous.
So grateful!!
Just imagine how electable he would be if he didn’t hate trans people
BRB calling the whaaambulance for Raphael.
Ted…🙄
Just here to say Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.
Raphael can pound Cancun sand.
Ted cruz is upset?Means Newsome is doing something right.
I'm 100% @governor.ca.gov be willing to use Trump's tactics against him! I hope other Dem controlled States will do the same! Democrats must stop playing by a different set of "rules", or things are only going to get worse!
That's a twofer.
Fled Cruz
YES! Fled Oooze.
Ew! 🤮 He is rather oozy, isn't he?
The fact that Cruz is throwing a fit tells me that this was the right move. Texas is about to FAFO.
Beautiful
Cruz can FATWO.
🤯🤦♀️ Rafael Cruz = poster child for "Do as I say, not as I do." Sleazy jerk.
💯
Hey Teddy, kiss our American asses you corrupt coward.
If you have a moment, please consider showing your work on the Cruz thing. Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately it's going to catalyze many states to do the same. Not saying I'm against this, but it's a precept to secession. Single party statehoods will lead to calls for whole states to obey or be crushed. And the West Coast has more than enough GDP to be its own nation once it splits off.
Friend and I were talking about this the other day. He'd figured out many contingencies regarding how this could happen.
Cruz is such a dope! Yuck 🤮
How does anyone still vote for Cruz??
Some Texans are stupid
Guess that explains it!
I can't begin to tell you how fired up this has me. Can't wait to vote on November 4 and recruit all my friends to go as well!
Time to stop leading with a negative and go positive as Newsom is acting heroic!
Cancun Cruz doesn’t like it that democrats are fighting back!
Ted Cruz is the icing on the cake!
Angry these are not times for policy issues. We all know it sucks in general. It's time we stop dicking around with this right wing bullshit.
As a Californian I am very happy to see this fight.
Anything that makes that POS throw a fit is fantastic.
As a long-time Californian (I've also lived in NJ & NY), I'm proud that Gavin Newsom is setting himself up to be the #1 contender in 2028 -- by bringing the same pummeling, prize-fighter approach to Putin's Pedo Puppet that Biden began his campaign in April, 2019. Go, Gavin!
I love how the PR team has exactly copied the tone of Trump's looney rants.
The fact that Cruz is throwing a fit makes it even better!
Exactly
The ugly truth no one's talking about is Republicans really don't have anywhere to go with their gerrymandering cause they've been doing it for the last two decades. They've basically maxed out their advantage already. Democrats have bigger populations and have played fair until now.
I think republicans desperation to cheat will backfire spectacularly
From your keyboard to Karma's eyes.
I hope so
Notwithstanding republicans, tho. This is how they roll.
In part because the only thing Republicans hate more than cheating is losing.
Oooo, good point. You are onto something.
Absolutely true. And the Repugs screaming about the opposite shows you how scared they are.
But not Texas. OK for us, but not you.
I’m just fine with anything that causes Ted Cruz to throw an absolute fit. It’ll give him another reason to go to Cancun.
🤣🤣🤣
Great news with a bonus. Yes, I’ve had my hmmm moments with Newsom, but he and his PR team are knocking it out of the park!
He is confirming he’s an idiot. One who thinks only GOP is allowed to do it. They are ALL bullies. They’ll abuse “you” until you stop them. Fighting back is only thing that works. This is exactly how to deal with bullies. Punch them in the proverbial balls - Every. Single. Time!
Cruz can f all the way off. I cannot believe Texans continue to vote for that fkn weirdo.
👍😂😂😂
Same, but knowing Rafael is Big Mad makes it even sweeter. Cali Pride. Fuck MaGa.
Remember when Cruz fled to Mexico with his family seeking clean water and electricity?
And left his puppy dog in a cold house with no electricity.
Even his family was like
Rafael Cruz. His given name.
Gotcha, Ted.
Let's redistrict Orange County white RW power into oblivion! And some of those rural districts up north as well?
Good Call. Orange is a pitiful mess
It was settled many years ago by Midwest farmers chased out by the Dust Bowl. They've carried a very conservative and no doubt racist mentality forward to the present day. Total Trumpers. Except for Laguna Beach, an oasis!
I know Yorba Linda is still a low-key sundown town. Weirdly enough, Santa Ana has a large set of Conservative Latinos, and Buena Park with Evangelical Christian Koreans.
Sad. Stupid people just don't get it
Angry is on blue sky speed dial for me just to help my sanity
Lyin lyin Ted Cruz lol
That means the shots fired are hitting home!
Good point!
Fuck every republican
The double standard is unreal 😂
If Ted is throwing a fit then you’re doing it right!!😀
Agreed. I run hot and cold on Newsom, and I am loathe to support yet another white dude for the WH, but he’s really handling it perfectly
If Teddy is freaking out, then we're on the proper road to fight back.
I love it when Cruz has a meltdown when Democrats do legitimate work on something the Republicans F Up. 😊😊😊
Agree and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is putting it all on the line. And I think he is the only politician or institution in the country that has really just said flat out NO. No to disappearing people. No to stealing an election. No to stripping people of healthcare. No to insane tariffs. #Nokings
* @governor.ca.gov
🤣on Ted Cruz
So why is he in Laguna right now trying to thwart Gavin Newsom, mess with California’s autonomy and who is paying this “Stop the Steal Meister” to do this?
That woman and her father who have funded Cruz for years.
A hit dog will holler...
I've always said that we need to abandon this when they go low we go high nonsense and I'm delighted to see my Governor leading this particular charge. You can't bring a vase of flowers to a gun fight.
Ted Cruz having a fit just makes it more delicious lol
Good. Let all of them get angry with jelousy because they think they’re the only ones that have rights.
Why hasn't ICE come for Raphael "teddyboi" Cruz yet? He's canadian.
I'm absolutely loving the trolling. So spot on!
I agree. Newsome showing some cajones. Where’s the rest of the limp dick Democrats ???
100%
Poor Teddy he has to do something that looks like he’s still behind Abbott and Trump! Teddy is such a herkamer (means BIG LOSER)
Cruz probably needs another trip to Cancun.
Perfect!
There are a few Democrats fighting back now, I am very happy with the governor.
I'm honor of Ted Cuz melting down... x.com/jonathanvswa...
Gavin Newsom has copied Trump's MO to the lawyer. He doesn't have any unique message Andy lacks leadership wishlist that Californians need for the next 2 terms... And the new Governor will be an America First Constitutional Conservative MAGA Party Republican.
I apologize for the auto correct errors. Dammit!!!
Grabby Road. In the Gerrymander Shuffle, your district could be next. bsky.app/profile/opsa... .. Stand Up!
I don't watch the news, what is pig crying about?
Hahahaha! Fuck Cruz!
What's his excuse that texas can but CA can't?
His excuse is that the people who are so far sucked into the republican propaganda sphere are convinced that Texas is only doing it in response to Cali, or that Texas isn't doing it at all, or that it's obviously okay when Republicans do it. The truth doesn't matter to these people, they're simply
Peddling propaganda to their base. It literally doesn't matter what those of us that actually live in reality are seeing
Probably because he's #teampedophile?
None and they know it
☝️☝️🎯
Greed.
As a Canadian I have run hot and cold with Newsome. One of the complaints that I have had as an outsider is that there really has not been one person for everyone to rally around in the same way the MAGA fascists rally around the WH Occupant generally. I think Newsome maybe that person for now.
I’d still not vote for him in a presidential primary. But grateful for what he’s doing.
When Newsom removes this lawless federal law enforcement from our state, he probably still won't win me back. Two or three governors with a backbone could have ended this insanity when it started.
He has what it takes to pull off cocksure, strutty, shallow batard. THIS is needed now.
Thanks Angry for this post!! I'm smiling and my heart is filled with joy that Ted Cruz is upset. He barely does any work. I better stop, he'll go pack a bag and find somewhere 2 go.😏😂🫶
And right after he’s gone, another devasting event will befall Texas.
"Hot wheel" really didn't help on the last one. It all sounded 2 me like they were just acting like Trump was helping. Abbott was like "We love Trump here." OK, BUT what did they do cause there's no FEMA n they didnt help other states. Lies n Performance Optics!🤔👎
Cruz needs to worry more about the power grid on Texas.
As a Texan, not one elected gop member from here gives two single fucks about the grid.
That's been evident for years.
Ditto
🤬💔🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This ☝️
They treat Texas like an investment they are about to exit. That famous Texas phrase; "rode hard and put away wet" applies.
Ted Cruz. Belongs. In Texas. Let. Him. Stay. Here. Don’t let. Him go
Rafael Cruz is Canadian, not Texan. Deport him now. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
must be doing something right! then
Oh, poor Ted. Fuck him.
So, win- win... And, #Trump #DonaldTrump #Epstein #Epsteinfiles #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #Ghislaine #childsextrafficking #AccusedPedo #AccusedPedophile #AllegedPedo #AllegedPedophile #AccusedRapist #AdjudicatedRapist
Newsom is rockin' the Epic Troll Game right now too! Love it!
Rafael Edward Cruz murdered his own credibility a long time ago, and he needs to be taken down - violently or not, I no longer care.
Yes, yep and yup
Anything to make TC through a fit is good in my book. Newsom is my governor and while he has major blind spots, this is a welcome response.
Good god, save us in Texas! Those of us resisters are sick of these sycophants and the entire republican cabal here.
Teddie Cruz has no room to talk, he was involved in the insurrection. He belongs in federal prison with Big Beautiful Bill as a bunk mate.
That means it's effectively neutered the Republican efforts, and he can't do a damned thing about it...😋
One thing I don’t understand. If these Feds are acting illegally in CA, then why aren’t state police being sent to enforce the laws against kidnapping; assault; unlawful rendition; etc?
The court case to decide if their actions are illegal are still pending. Otherwise, fed control outrules state objections.
Understood
Newsom is a useful tool. but he better stay away from the white house after what he did to LGBT folks.
It is very awkward for Trump to be demolishing homeless encampments while being fought by Newsom, who also has a history of destroying homeless encampments. But if Newsom has learned his lesson, and he's willing to become an authentic progressive, then he'll win me over too.
Newsom is rising up and showing how real leaders should handle a cowardly bully. He is inspiring and courageous. Hope other Democrats follow or we’re lost. The moment demands a fight
Absolutely true sir, and no one gives a hoot about what Ted on Vacation Cruz has to say. I'm just surprised that useless slop is still around, IMHO
Not a big Newsom fan, but I appreciate him and back him 100%. He's fighting, and he's fighting hard. Every Democrat, and every person of good will, should be doing the same.
Ted cruz is a loser. Even the Texas GOP is not happy with him.
Great! I haven't heard about Cruz's meltdown, but he is a despicable human being.
We must applaud politicians who are speaking up, out and going against the grain! The pedopotus wants us scared. If we don't get uncomfortable TO NOT NORMALIZE what this dictator-wannabe-FELON-president is doing, we'll be REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE when he takes EVERYTHING AWAY from us!
We also need to understand that they are HUMAN, so they aren’t perfect. We MUST stop expecting perfection.
🎯
AGREED AND INDEED. There are some that are hopeless for sure, but it takes a lot of courage to stand up and speak out against this regime.
Absolutely! But many criticisms are just trivial. We aren’t clones, we don’t have the same beliefs, needs or wants. If they hit most of them then support them.
Love the way the GOVERNOR is handling this..eye to eye..
It’s about time nice has gotten them nowhere fight fire with fire!
Doesn't Ted have a flight to catch or something
Triple ditto. Quadruple, even.
Double win!
💯
He wanted to be the dictator and is getting vicarious pleasure from supporting Trump.
Exactly 💯
While we already knew... outstanding, self-defecating self-description, Fled Oooze.
Please understand how dastardly loathesome you have to be to give DONALD TRUMP the ick.
Hey Ted, maybe worry about Texas...the failing power grid, the effects of climate change, the scarcity of water, the fact your state takes more federal money than contributes, inflation, shitty educational systems...and since you are one of the most disliked, disgusting people in Congress...
Ted Bruise can Fuk himself. A coward leaves his own state when there's an emergency crisis. He's just a megaphone for his wannabe emperor who's a fking pedophile! By the way where's the Epstein files?? I'm never going to stop talking about it. 🤬
I am impressed. Orange one thinks he's so tough.
bsky.app/profile/apos...
Cancun Ted has a hissy fit. He is a useless human.
Ted Cruz failed simple math, proven he's an idiot.
I hope Raphael chokes on his pearls.
It’s beautiful. Enough for me to forgive his flaws
No argument here.
Seems that Democratic Governors are actually doing something that matters in this fight.🤔
Leftists out here trying to sabotage Gavin Newsom's efforts to oppose Trump because of his podcast are fucking infuriating.
Newsome is acting like a child. He all but double dog dared Abbott. He'll probably suggest rock, paper, scissors next.
How about Abbott double dog dared dem governors to stand up for our vote?
Excellent. I still can't believe Texas voted for Cruz and not Beto.
The big question is, where's Darrel Issa gonna move to know to keep his cushy job?
Because Ted is dumb as shit like that.
I would like to see him become a shadow president.
