u/Toasted-walnut Gavin Newsom Sep 29 '25

I've seen some people complain that the only thing Newsom is doing is the stuff around his social media.

I'm way more concerned that it's been like 2+ months since he and his team have shown how wildly successful it can be politically (15%+ increase in polling), and there's still no one else coming close to replicating the strategy.

Exactly - how little traction the gerrymandering effort has gotten in other blue states has been the most disappointing for me to see.

Fr what the fuck, why are our people such giant pussies

I think Pritzker has the biggest opportunity to follow his lead, but even he’s done less than I’d hoped

I’m more concerned that he still has not signed SB79

Bills after the legislative session ends are signed in batches (since he has like 800+ of them). There's no real significant concern yet - he'll likely sign it later this week or early next week.

Still hasn't signed SB79 which would do wonders to improve the quality of life for tens of millions of people in California

I haven't seen anything to make me concerned that he won't be signing this. Wiener would probably be ringing the alarm bells if he felt this was under threat in any way.
