I think that Governor Newsom is absolutely showing us all a masterclass right now in how government social media should be functioning.

It's funny, it's quick, it's culturally relevant, it's cutting through the noise and it's landing.

And it's sort of a win-win because it's energizing Democrats while really frustrating Republicans.

They're sort of not sure how to react to someone meeting them

true that it does hold up a mirror to what's happening on the right, you know, because you have, if you're saying to yourself, why the heck would he do that, Donald Trump? Why would he post that? Why would he do this? To be able to turn it back around and say, would you see how ridiculous this is? This is our politics today. Now, you're right. It is a campaign strategy. I don't know that this works

a year from now. But for this moment, given all of the heavy stuff that we're dealing with,

it does seem to be breaking. Apparently partisan ones drawn up mid-decade by Republicans at the

request of Donald Trump attempting to gobble up more seats in Congress. Of course, the truth of the
