I just watched Heather Cox Richardson’s interview with Governor Newsom. Inspirational! The most powerful motivation for anti-Trump, pro-democracy action I have seen and I follow Substack closely.

David has long been a force for factual, logical thinking in a time where far to many Americans are making decisions emotionally and with incorrect information.

I’m with you, David. We can’t sit idly by any longer. Our democracy is slipping away.

I am Very, Very PROUD of "My Governor" --- He IS Literate, Bright, Speaks the Truth, Handsome, Fit, Courageous and Caring and Not a Felon !--- ALL That TUBBY is NOT ! Tubby is Not Literate, but Dull, Fat, Ugly, a Coward, and a Convicted Felon Many, Many People in the Other 49 --- are sooooo Jealous of California !

They are Not Talented Nor Bright Enough to Live Here ! When Hill-billys Leave California to Live Elsewhere--- Our Domestic Champagne Flows !

What are we gonna do when and if Trump has Newsom arrested? I don’t think Trump require cause and the courts are apathetic to the rule of law. Am I wrong?

So, I fact checked your suggestion that trump may be trying to restrict marijuana and every other source (granted, they were all legacy media(that we all know can't be trusted)) says the exact opposite. He won't score a tenth of a percent of a point with me by federally legalizing the herb, but twisting the facts is a bad look (not saying you are doing that, just pointing out that a simple Google search pointed in a wildly different direction). If it turns out the legacy media is right, I still won't trust them, but your credibility will be taking a bit of a hit (at least for me).

Please -- anyone ... am I to believe that this is a strategy that has to wait until midterms?

Oh...do I have some followups -- Just four seats separate the current balance, and there IS a way to change that in the next 120 days or so.

By all means go for the "Newsom plan" -- but in the meantime, coming up with a solid Plan B would be wise, IMO.

Reading Michael Cohen, he says California redistricting will not be enough. There will have to be many more instances for this attack to work?
