California Governor Gavin Newsom sure seems to have a lot of free time on his hands.
In addition to launching a podcast earlier this year, Newsom just announced that he is launching a Substack site to fight disinformation. What’s next? A TV talk show?
It’s not as if the state of California has thousands of homes to rebuild after wildfires ravaged the state earlier this year. And who cares if there is a riot raging in downtown Los Angeles that has been going on for more than a week?
How does this man still have his job?
The Hill reports:
Gavin Newsom launches a Substack
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) launched a page on Substack this week, using his first entry on the platform to blast President Trump amid recent tension in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement efforts in the state.
Newsom’s op-ed, which was first published by Fox News Digital, is titled “Trump is trying to destroy Democracy. Do not let him.”
“Our system of democracy was created in direct opposition to the monarchy and designed to bolster individual freedom and liberty so that we are never again subjugated to a king. It is that idea, that sacred value, that is being destroyed,” Newsom wrote in the piece.
“But our greatest strength has always been with the people. It’s time for all of us to stand up,” he continued.
Newsom said in a short video posted before the piece he was joining the platform to “break through the noise and engage in real conversations.”
Newsom even took the time to make a video announcing the site:
Just launched on Substack.
We have to flood the zone and continue to cut through the right wing disinformation machine.

Newsom has a 54% disapproval rating in California of all places, LA has issued one (1) building permit to rebuild in the Palisades 5.5 months later, and downtown LA was just hit with weeks of rioting that Newsom encouraged
But I’m sure launching a Substack will fix it for him! https://t.co/gqIDNLo9LO
