Gavin Newsom

We will be the wall he (Trump) cannot get past.

If you violate California’s laws, if you interfere with our voters, tamper with our ballots or meddle in our election, you will be prosecuted.

This dialectic is so deeply familiar to me, and I don't over read any of it.

Vigilance doesn't even begin to describe what our posture needs to be over the course of the next few months.

These results show that when we invest in our communities, support law enforcement, crack down on organized crime, and expand prevention and intervention efforts, we can save lives and improve public safety.

It is time for a national billionaires' tax.

The wealthy have their own private tax code full of loopholes and exemptions that most people have never heard of, and they're counting on politicians in Washington to maintain it and keep quiet.

Today's ruling helps ensure mailed-in-ballots get counted and people's voices are heard through the democratic process.

The President of the United States is personally directing federal prosecutors to start investigations into his political opponents when his preferred candidate may lose the election.

“To get me, he’s coming after my wife,” Newsom continued.

Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets,” Newsom said. “He’s coming after me because I am considering running for president.

A true minimum tax on billionaires — a modern Buffett Rule — that ensures the people at the very top pay at least the tax rate their own workers pay.

So here is what I support: A national billionaires’ tax.

But I’m voting no because this measure dedicates almost all of the revenue it raises to a single category of state spending.

Money buys influence, and influence rewrites the rules. Those rewritten rules funnel even more wealth to the few. Under this weight, democracy itself starts to buckle.

We need to ensure every American owns a stake in the future being built by AI through a national public equity fund that takes a major stake in the new economy.

I understand the anxiety driving the wealth tax proposal in California. But I’m voting no because this measure dedicates almost all of the revenue it raises to a single category of state spending.

The evidence is in. The impacts are very real — not just substantive economic impacts in terms of the revenue, but start-ups, the indirect impacts of … people questioning long-term commitments, medium-term commitments.

This is my fear. It’s just what I warned against. It’s happening.

The fight to make the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes is not one we should be fighting state by state.

The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans. It’s time for an economic reset.

Wealth is movable, and it shops for the state with the lowest taxes.

You may not be able to pick up and move to Texas or Florida to shelter your income from taxation, but I promise you that billionaires can, and do.

Last night, it became certain that a wealth tax would be placed on the November ballot in California. I’m voting no.

Trickle-down economics" a 50-year-long "failed" experiment that funneled record profits into buybacks and executive pay while workers' wages stagnated.
