@CAgovernor Remember, California was forecasting $8 gas well before the war all due to Newsom policies.

61 days into Donald Trump's war with Iran, the national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.30 — up 44.3%.
That's ON TOP of higher prices for groceries, shipping, flights, and more.
And the response from the Trump Administration and GOP Congress? Crickets.
English
@CAgovernor Still less than under Biden. So, what have you done except for running production out of the state and raising gas taxes (and again in July!)? @CAgovernor has not done a damn thing good for working Californians.

I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief?
He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.

Only in CA can a 700’ wide solar panel over a canal cost $20 Million. They want to cover all 4,000 miles to mitigate water evaporation. Hmm, is it worth $240 Trillion? Not even the power generated could be utilized with today’s infrastructure (more money!).

@GavinNewsom Amazing how racist @GavinNewsom can be. He is not upset that black people cannot be boxed in, he is upset that this type of racism no longer works, and that can have an effect on power such as his.
English
This decision is outrageous.
MAGA is SCARED of YOU.
They know they LOSE when Black, Latino, and diverse voters are heard — so they shut them up and rig the maps.
We’re not backing down. November is coming.

@UnrealBluegrass Well, I guess we will add you to the list of celebrities who despise half their audience. I know, you’ve made your millions and no longer care, but the example you set will hurt others who follow in your footsteps.

I don't want his face on my passport.
I don't want his face anywhere,not even on his head.
Possible exception being urinal cakes in every public restroom.

@factpostnews Imagine a world where getting kids off drugs is considered bad, and mutilating them is considered humane. @GavinNewsom has his priorities so screwed up, CA may never recover.

Here is RFK Jr. saying that Black kids on Adderall, SSRIs, and benzos should get re-parented
FactPost@factpostnews
Rep. Sewell: In a 2024 podcast interview, you said every Black kid is now just standardly put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, and that those children are going to have to get re-parented. RFK Jr: I'm not going to answer something that I didn't say. Rep. Sewell: You absolutely said it.

@RealCandaceO Wow, Candace got one thing right. The rescue had nothing to do with a General. See, even stupidity can be right when trying to prove a negative.
English
The more that is coming out about this “pilot rescue” — it’s looking like a massive disaster of a failed operation that the Pentagon is lying about that had nothing to do with rescuing a General.
Independent journalists need to prod this Top Gun narrative. This may explain why Trump was enraged on Easter and demanding an end to satellite imagery.
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…
) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling... English
@CAgovernor We know @CAgovernor is willing to fund Iran and their nuclear ambitions, and has no problem with terrorists in America as long as they vote for him to stay in power. Trump is preventing nuclear war, and I support that 100%
English
Donald Trump repeatedly made a promise to the American people: no new wars.
Now, he's threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
English
@RealCandaceO The Iranian president is willing to sacrifice all his people, and all Americans. You included. Trump is willing to put a stop to it.
English
The Iranian President tweets that he is willing sacrifice his own life for his people. Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice Charlie Kirk and is willing to sacrifice every American life and livelihood for Greater Israel.
Who is the animal again?
Masoud Pezeshkian@drpezeshkian
More than 14 million proud Iranians have so far registered to sacrifice their lives to defend Iran. I too have been, am, and will remain devoted to giving my life for Iran.
English
@KamalaHarris Amazing how you would rather fund Iran’s nuclear capabilities than stop terrorists. Simply amazing.
English
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
English
@dunsmore23550 @GavinNewsom California used to control mail in voting and had voting ID. So, you agree we need to go back to the process that was never in dispute. Good for you!
English
@GavinNewsom Trump doesn't see the Constitution! He's broken every amendment except the 3rd and the 25th!
English
@RealCandaceO By your logic, you must agree democrats presidents funded Iran, so thes same democrats must be terrorists. I don’t just know know, I know.
English
Bibi didn’t just find Hamas. Israeli govt also funded Al Nusrat and various other “Muslim” militant groups that mass slaughter Christians around the world.
They blame Muslims for the terrorism that they fund so they have an excuse to start wars, and steal land and resources.
Mr. Whale@CryptoWhale
🇮🇱 | Israel and the U.S. say they are attacking Iran because of its financing of terrorist groups, including Hamas. Meanwhile, Netanyahu funded Hamas with $35 million a month from Qatar - suitcases filled with U.S. dollars, every single month. Over time, more than $1 billion flowed to the group controlling Gaza. At the same time, his strategy was to keep Gaza under Hamas and the West Bank under Fatah, ensuring Palestinians remained divided and could never unite politically. According to investigators, he described the method himself: confuse them, mislead them, lie to them - and then hit them.
English
@mmpadellan We show our support at the ballot box and at Trump rallies without being paid to do it. The rest of the time we work for an honest living. We laugh at the anti-Trump protestors, while liberals try to ruin to lives of pro-Trump people. We are not the same.
English
I wonder why we're not seeing any pro-trump marches for the guy who INCREASED prices with his tariffs and illegal war, who broke most of his promises, who is protecting pedophiles... never mind, I know why:
He's awful, the worst President EVER.
English
@TheRickWilson We went from illegal war either Iran to bomb Russia pretty quickly, didn’t we? Your TDS is really amazing.
English
Donald Trump is fine with Russia giving Iran intelligence and targeting data on American forces.
He’s done nothing to stop them. He’s kneels in the blood of dead Americans while fumbling with Putin’s zipper.
In related news, even the President can commit treason.
English
@CAgovernor Translation: I and my aunt got our insider trading done, now we are willing to stop anyone else from doing so as yo shift the focus away from ourselves.
English
I’m signing an executive order banning California state officials from using insider information to place bets, including in prediction markets.
We will not tolerate this kind of corruption in California.

@GavinNewsom Imagine being so upset that prices are 4% higher that you would vote in the party that raised then 9%. @GavinNewsom raised prices even higher through mismanagement and fraud. Dems are not bright people.
English
@BillKristol It was awesome, Bill! TSA is funded, and not one Democrat demand made it through. Sine ICE is already funded through 2029, I would say this is a wonderful win.
English
Nice to wake up to good news: the democratic opposition wins on no new funding for ICE and
Border Patrol.
All credit to Senate Dems who held firm and prevailed.
All honor to the people of Minneapolis who showed the way in resisting and defeating the forces of authoritarianism.
English
@TheRickWilson It is amazing to how some would rather have 9% inflation and terrorists funded rather than see America succeed.
English
1. Unpopular war.
2. Unpopular tariffs.
3. Unpopular TSA shutdown.
4. Unpopular corruption.
5. Unpopular health care cuts.
6. Unpopular 4.2% inflation.
6. Oh...and saving the best for last: a deeply unpopular President!
Republicans have so much to run on this Fall!
English
@hashjenni It must be nice for you to have so much faith in a country that kills 30,000 of their own citizens while promising to eradicate all other non-Islam countries. No reason for you to think at all. Have you picked out your burka yet? Your freedom to post will go away as well.
