Shockingly, this is apparently wrong. One google search brings up a bunch of “Newsom receives major polling boost” articles.

Trump however hasn’t been this unpopular since 1/6. So, you know, upside down world.

Is Newsom and/or his troll army still alive?  Not a peep out of them since we had to go all in on licking Charlie Kirk's ass.

It would be undignified to mock the President at such a tragic time for our nation. Because the left ALWAYS has to be the adults for some reason.

Apparently it's the price of thinking that governance is serious and important (or at least the appearance of governance lmao)

Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling on 10,000 young men to serve as mentors, coaches and tutors through a new campaign called the California Men’s Service Challenge. 

The statewide initiative, announced on Tuesday, is the latest in an executive order directing agencies to address mental health in boys and young men. 

“We have an epidemic of loneliness, and so much of that is manifesting and metastasizing online in very profound and consequential ways, and last week only underscored that further,” said Newsom on Tuesday, referencing the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university campus. 

In California, boys and men age 15 to 44 die by suicide at three to four times the rate of women, often by firearms. Almost half of female homicide victims are also killed by a current or former intimate male partner. 

Over the course of a year, the state will partner with youth organizations, including Improve Your Tomorrow, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Mentor California, and the American Institute for Boys and Men, to recruit and train them as mentors for young boys. 

“The goal is to create consistent, positive relationships where men model integrity, empathy and community engagement while helping young men develop confidence and purpose,” Josh Fryday, the state’s chief service officer, told EdSource. 

Fryday said the initiative will include ongoing one-on-one and group mentoring, tutoring or reading programs, service projects, coaching youth sports and guiding young men through college and career exploration. It will be supported by California Volunteers, the state’s $275 million program for community service and civic engagement.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

Gov. Gavin Newsom is threatening to withhold billions in state funds from any California college that signs onto an agreement crafted by President Donald Trump's administration requiring schools to agree to support the President's education agenda in order to have access to federal dollars.

The 10-page "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" requires universities to adhere to rules written by the administration in a variety of areas, including admissions, hiring, free speech on campus, teaching and the use of endowments.

"IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY’LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Thursday, intending for the entire statement to be written completely in uppercase letters.

The compact was sent to nine universities on Thursday, according to CNN, with the only California school being the University of Southern California. A spokesperson for the university did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday afternoon.

USC is a private school that receives Cal Grants from the state. KCRA 3 has reached out to the California Department of Finance to see how much money the school has received from those state funds.
