California Governor Gavin Newsom has officially joined Substack β€” and I’m honored to bring you his very first interview on the platform.

In this wide-ranging and deeply candid conversation, we cover:

  • Why he’s stepping into the world of independent media β€” and why more Democrats should follow.
  • The current status of a major federal court case that could allow U.S. Marines to join ICE raids in California.
  • His full-throated support for the No Kings Day protests that swept the state this weekend.
  • And most heartbreakingly, a story he shared about a 12-year-old boy torn from his family β€” his parents literally ripped away by ICE, leaving him utterly alone. It is the definition of cruelty
  • This isn’t just an interview β€” it’s a frontline report on power, policy, and resistance in California.
