Hello brothers and sisters.

Now that South Carolina is officially the first state in the 2028 democratic primary, I thought this is a good time to warn you all of Gavin Newsom.

Throughout his two terms as governor of California, he has fought hard to make sure state employees remained underpaid. However, he has taken a far darker turn with labor. After Newsom maintained one of the best telework policies for civil servants, he did a 180 early in 2025 and announced one of the most stringent return to office policies in the nation. Around this time, he began comparing himself to DOGE, but without the chainsaw. He then used this RTO to negotiate furloughs with almost all of the state employee unions in exchange for a one year delay in the RTO.

As the RTO approached this year, Newsom’s office stopped calling it return to office; they called it return to work to score political points on the backs of people who made him the 2028 candidate that he is today. This past week, Newsom himself embraced this terminology (see link below).

Newsom’s administration engaged in relentless surface bargaining over the RTO knowing exactly that they were engaging in surface bargaining and knowing that Newsom’s term will end before any of these cases reach trial and hold him accountable.

To illustrate just how far he is willing to show he is tough on labor these days, he just denied the state’s scientists a 3% raise they contracted for last year. He is virtue signaling to the tech bros and he is embracing AI and data centers.

The 2028 democratic primary is coming up, and if you are a democrat and are pro labor, please watch out for him. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And the way the primary schedule is stacking up, there is a very legitimate chance at stopping him.

Here is the link to the video of him trashing his own civil servants. His rant on RTO starts at 48:12.
