âThe misdirect here is that Newsom is opposing a WEALTH tax on billionaires in his own state and insisting he supports a new national INCOME tax on billionaires. But billionaires make money off non-income sources.â

(June 23, 2026)
While other Democrats are distancing themselves from Bidenâs failed reelection bid and the political wreckage that followed, Californiaâs governor is leaning in. Newsom has praised Bidenâs presidency, defended his record, and positioned himself as one of the partyâs most visible Biden loyalists.
He has called the Biden presidency a âmasterclass of policymaking.â He has said he will never turn his back on Biden. And last week, he went further.
He hosted Hunter Biden on his podcast.
That matters.

Gavin Newsom moves to neutralize tax on billionaires
(January 12, 2026)
The conversations, reported here for the first time, have occurred intermittently for months as SEIU-UHWâs ballot initiative targeting billionaires migrated from the backrooms of California politics to the center of a raging debate about Silicon Valley and income inequality, sparking tech titansâ wrath and vows to move out of state.
âWeâve been at this for four months,â Newsom said in an interview with POLITICO, describing an âall-handsâ effort that has included him meeting one-on-one with SEIU-UHWâs leader, Dave Regan.

Judge halts National Guard deployment to Portland from any state to perform federal duties
âThe court recognized what weâve said all along: there is no rebellion, no invasion, and no justification for militarizing our communities,“ Rayfield said in response to the ruling. „The President cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different statesâ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.â
Illinois files a lawsuit to block Trump deploying the National Guard, joining Oregon
Oregon and Portland went back to the court â this time with California as an additional party to the lawsuit â and asked U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut for a new temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from sending the California National Guard to Oregon.
In her ruling, Immergut barred any National Guard members from being relocated from any state for service in Oregon. One day earlier, she had temporarily blocked the Trump administration from federalizing the Oregon National Guard.
Newsom joins Oregonâs suit after Trump sends California National Guard to Oregon
(October 5, 2025)
President Donald Trump deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland after a federal judge blocked the presidentâs call-up of Oregonâs National Guard, a workaround that has already drawn a new round of legal challenges.
Late Sunday, Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Oregon leadersâ pending lawsuit, asking Portland-based U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut to block Trumpâs effort to sidestep her initial ruling by deploying California troops.
Kamala Harris Thinks Trump Is a âCommunist.â Thatâs Insane.
The contrast between this and the âFighting Oligarchyâ message could hardly be starker. Where Sanders and AOC have been crisscrossing the country promoting the message that Trump should be rejected because heâs a servant of wealthy and powerful âtitans of industry,â Harris wants to appeal to the oligarchs themselves to save us from the âcommunistâ Trump.
California governor Gavin Newsom recently took a similar line. In his appearance on the Pivot podcast, Newsom responded to host Kara Swisherâs question about Mamdani by bringing up Trumpâs deal with Intel, whereby the government agreed to buy almost 10 percent of the companyâs stock.
Mamdani and Trump, the governor suggested, werenât so different. Newsom said it âsounds like Trumpâs been paying a lot of attention toâ Mamdani, given Trumpâs âdesire to socialize great American companies.â Just like Mamdani wants to start a few municipally owned grocery stores in New York, Trump wants to do something similar, Newsom contended, through public ownership of a slice of Intel. According to Newsom, itâs âjust perverseâ that someone like Mamdani could be âshaping the Democratic Party in the context of the socialist brandâ when Democrats should be pointing out every day that Trump âis the leading nationalist and socialist of our time.â
Trump deployment of military troops to Los Angeles was illegal, judge rules in blistering opinion
Experts say the ensuing judicial dust-up it will clarify precedent in a murky corner of the law. But some warn it could also unearth a road map for future deployments in cities across the U.S.
âIf Breyer sides with Newsom and the 9th Circuit sides with Trump, we now have a playbook to use the National Guard and maybe the military around the country,â said Mark P. Nevitt, a law professor at Emory University and one of the countryâs foremost experts on the law at the heart of the case.
âHeâd have a ruling from the most liberal circuit in America giving the legal go-ahead for this deployment,â Nevitt said. âThat would make bad law for the country.â
California hopes law from bloody era of U.S. history can rein in Trumpâs use of troops
(Today)
Department of Justice has argued Posse Comitatus does not apply to the militaryâs current actions in Southern California â and even if it did, the soldiers deployed there havenât violated the law. It also claimed the 9th Circuit decision endorsing Trumpâs authority to call up troops rendered the Posse Comitatus issue moot.
Some experts feel Californiaâs case is strong.
âYou literally have military roaming the streets of Los Angeles with civilian law enforcement,â said Shilpi Agarwal, legal director of the ACLU of Northern California, âThatâs exactly what the [act] is designed to prevent.â
But Nevitt was more doubtful. Even if Breyer ultimately rules that Trumpâs troops are violating the law and grants the injunction California is seeking, the 9th Circuit will almost certainly strike it down, he said.
âItâs going to be an uphill battle,â the attorney said. âAnd if they find a way to get to the Supreme Court, I see the Supreme Court siding with Trump as well.â
Trump Will Go To Supreme Court If Newsom Wins Fight Over LA Troops Deployment Again; Appeals Court Considers Temporary Restraining Order

Trump administration activates 2,000 additional military troops to Los Angeles
Governor Newsom‘s office quickly condemned the announcement, saying the new activation is the second set of 2,000 federalized National Guard members under Trump‘s June 9 order.
âThis is clean up from the Pentagon. This isnât a new deployment â itâs the same group of soldiers who have been diverted from critical wildfire work and work at the border, now twiddling their thumbs for Donald Trumpâs political theater, the statement from the governor‘s office said.
Governor Newsomâs Address to California: Democracy at a Crossroads
Yesterday, we filed a legal challenge to President Trumpâs reckless deployment of American troops to a major American city.
Today, we sought an emergency court order to stop the use of the American military to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles.
If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.
Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there.
Newsom calls Trump deployment of Natâl Guard âpurposefully inflammatory
