Gavin Newsom: “Weakness masquerading in strength”

We’re going to again lead the nation, but the bar is pretty damn low, and that’s what’s so frustrating.

Simply put, this measure did not meet the gravity of this moment. The only solution is to return to fix the entire problem, not part of it.

It’s just an extraordinary moment in world history, in American history, in the history between our two nations, and so we have to be repairers of the breach, and we have to call that out.

Our focus and our priority needs to be on the safety of Californians, on protecting fire survivors when they’re impacted by these devastating events.
