They called Newsom’s I-5 closure an overreaction. Then a live shell exploded and hit law enforcement vehicles — on the closed highway. Reckless wasn’t the closure. It was firing artillery over a freeway. nytimes.com/2025/10/19/us/…

Right-wing “journalist” caught moving goalposts First, the Governor was lying about live-munitions being fired over the freeway & he shouldn’t have closed it (following the advice of experts). Now, it’s “oh it’s just a little bit of shrapnel that came down and struck vehicles”

We make a spelling mistake. You make deadly mistakes. By the way, thanks for admitting you lied to Americans — live munitions were fired over a public freeway, putting civilians needlessly in harm’s way.

Steve out here calling the guy who protected public safety “dumb” as the White House admits it lied to Californians about shooting live-munitions over a major freeway.

The Deputy Director of the FBI is taking credit for something that happened BEFORE Trump was ever in office … Time to go back to podcasting, Dan.

Reporter: There was a confusing back and forth between federal and state officials over whether there would be live artillery fired over the freeway. The federal government repeatedly said that they would not be shutting down the freeway. Eventually, Gov. Newsom decided that he

NEW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that he'll deploy the California National Guard and California Volunteers "on a humanitarian mission to support food banks as the federal government shutdown delays food benefits for millions of California families."

Gavin Newsom knows exactly what Trump's doing: As the cost of beef continues to skyrocket and Trump gives $40 billion taxpayer dollars to bailout his far-right buddy in Argentina — in a further slap in the face to American farmers, Trump plans to import foreign beef into the US.

BEWARE: This account often spreads misinformation. They clearly do not know how SNAP works. If they did, they'd know it was federally funded. And since Trump shut down the Government there is likely to be no federal funding for SNAP benefits (known in California as CalFresh)
