Only two teams in the history of baseball have won three straight World Series, the Yankees and the @athletics. Yet, @MLB and John Fisher felt the need to destroy the legacy of one of the most storied/successful franchises by ripping them from OAK, where they clearly belong. 1/

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The father of m*rdered 12-year-old California girl Polly Klaas just WENT OFF on national TV at Gov. Gavin Newsom commuting the death penalty of her k*ller after the midterms
"WHY does he wait until TWO DAYS after the midterms to PULL a STUNT like this? So he can be in the history books?!"
"HE TURNS A BLIND EYE! [...] Quite frankly I don't understand! He has been governor for 8 YEARS yet he FAILED to get rid of the death penalty. It still exists!"
You can hear the pain in his voice.
Newsom announced on Thursday, two days after Election Day, that he's commuting the sentences of ALL 548 death row inmates in California to life without parole, with two months left in office 🤯
That includes Richard Allen Davis, who kidnapped Polly from a sleepover in 1993 and strangled her
Marc Klaas called it "a shiv in my back" 💔
"It shouldn't have been a unilateral decision by a lame-duck governor."
California voters REJECTED abolishing the death penalty in 2012 and again in 2016. Newsom overruled them anyway on his way out the door. Disgusting.

@mktruecrime Thank you for saying it without candy coating the reality.
Former DA Matt Murphy lays out what I have been saying since 2021. @GavinNewsom and his hug a thug committee are dismantling the judicial & corrections in Calif. They are creating a pathway for ALL convicted criminals to walk out of prison.
Serial Rapists
Serial Killers
Child Torture
They will walk amongst us.

Dear Governor,
Just over 12 years ago, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr. were brutally executed by Luis Bracamontes. Bracamontes was a convicted drug dealer in the midst of a crime spree with his girlfriend when he opened fire on Danny as he approached his vehicle. Bracamontes fled, carjacked several vehicles, shot a civilian before fatally shooting Detective Michael Davis Jr. with a rifle and seriously wounding Davis’ partner, Deputy Jeff Davis.
I went to that crime scene and remember every detail vividly. I also remember watching Bracamontes laugh in court while their families, including Danny’s two young daughters, had to sit and watch. Bracamontes was convicted of murder by a jury of his peers, who then sentenced him to death.
Deputy Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis Jr. should be alive today, enjoying long and healthy lives with their families. Instead, the man who murdered them has now escaped his sentence.
Governor, I urge you to reconsider any proposal to commute the death sentences of all 548 people on death row, especially that of Luis Bracamontes. This isn’t just about the death penalty. It’s about accountability, honoring the decisions of juries, respecting the will of California voters, and standing with the families of victims who have already suffered unimaginable loss.

This pile of rocks used to be a school in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region.
31 bodies were found in the rubble.
Russia hit it with nine aerial bombs yesterday. The building and the shelter in the school were used to hand out humanitarian aid every Monday.
Russia launched its first strike when people arrived to receive aid. Then, Russia hit with a second strike with aerial strike on the shelter.
A terrorist strike and a Russian war crime.
Beyond horrible.
18 people were killed by Russian aerial bomb strikes on Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region. At least five more were injured.
Russia attacked a school where humanitarian aid was being distributed to local residents. Russians then dropped nine more aerial bombs on the shelter with people inside.
Rescue operations continue. It is reported that 27 people are considered missing as of now.
So much pain brought to Ukraine by Russia.

🚨 CALIFORNIA’S BROKEN JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS FAILED AGAIN. AND NOW A PREGNANT WOMAN HAS BEEN KILLED.
A 17-year-old is accused of opening fire inside a Fairfield Halloween store, killing 31-year-old Constance Hages, a pregnant woman, and wounding SIX others.
Here’s the part that should outrage every Californian:
According to Fairfield Police Chief Dan Marshall, this teenager was already involved in a shooting in 2025. He spent several months in juvenile hall and was released.
Now he’s accused of MURDER and SIX more shootings.
Our juvenile justice system is a hot mess. Dedicated probation officers have been stripped of the tools necessary to truly rehabilitate these offenders. As a result, DANGEROUS people are being released for violent crimes.
Rehabilitation matters. But so does accountability, consequences, and public safety.
You cannot rehabilitate a murder victim. You cannot give a grieving family another chance.
California lawmakers need to stop treating violent juvenile offenders as though they pose no danger to our communities.
Enough excuses. Enough failed policies. Enough innocent victims.
It’s time to put PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST.

Statement from a spokesperson for Gov. @GavinNewsom following the resignation of High-Speed Rail Authority CEO Ian Choudri and the appointment of Joe Stephenshaw as interim CEO:
“The Governor is committed to delivering the nation’s first high-speed rail system and to protecting California taxpayers every single step of the way. That’s why he brought fresh leadership onto the High-Speed Rail Authority Board this year, with a clear charge to demand accountability for every dollar and transparency the public can count on. The Governor welcomes today's announcements as an important step in that direction.
“Joe Stephenshaw has spent the last four years guarding the state’s budget as Director of Finance. The Governor is grateful for that service and confident Joe is the right person to oversee the Authority in the interim. With thousands of workers on the job across the Central Valley every day and major milestones ahead, this project keeps moving forward.”
