I used to think Newsom worked in California, but not for the whole country—kind of the way DeSantis works in Florida but his run for president never garnered many votes.

I'm beginning to believe the USA needs a Gavin Newsom right now. At least he willing to lay it all on the line. #GoGavin

This governor knows something about fire and how to fight it.🤚

Luanne Oleas, Author @authorluanneo.bsky.social · Aug 14

We Californians know the two Gavins:
#1, the savvy politician
#2, Mad Dad Gavin

He knows what benefits him politically (#1).
Or
He loses his cool and does what's right, like when he fought for the gay marriage.(#2)
You can hear the change in his voice between the two entities. #GoGavin

You gotta wonder about someone who doesn't trust their hometown newspaper. The one that has reported on him the longest.

Nope, I'm just me. I mean, my 1st two books were considered literary fiction and I have a 3-book series that is contemporary, chick lit, women's fiction rom-com. . . whatever that is. Same author name, just all over the place.

We both have cats in our WIP!🐱

Sheila opened the door and Ophelia made her signature escape move. A well-placed foot blocked the exit of the long-haired cat with the white bib and fluffy, grey stripes. Sheila wrangled her briefcase out the door and locked it, leaving Ophelia and the others safely inside. #WIPSnips #SheddingCats

Sorry, but with a ten female Republican Senators. Why single out Collins and Murkowski? Let's call out every last one of the men as well. They're all killing the poor because the rich want more.

An agent requested a rewrite of my novel, SHEDDING CATS, the story of a technical writer with zero soulmates and ten cats—one for every dating app mismatch. Doing the final polish now.

Possible book cover for SHEDDING CATS showing a technical writer at work surrounded by her ten cats.

Apparently, lip readers caught other leaders calling Trump a "tosser."

In British slang, "tosser" is a derogatory term for an unpleasant or stupid person.

How odd that Pence was the 48th VP with the 45th President.

The 39th Vice President of the United States was Spiro Agnew. He served under President Richard M. Nixon from 1969 until he resigned in 1973. Agnew was the 2nd person to resign from the vice presidency, with the 1st being John C. Calhoun

You're on. Trump Mobile is both a service and a smart phone. Google says, "Trump Mobile Smartphone: The company also sells a smartphone called the "T1 Phone", which is a gold-colored device running on the Android operating system. It is described as being designed and built in the United States."

I grew up in one of California's abundant agricultural valleys. Everyone I went to school with attempted to work a summer in the fields or packing sheds. We all failed. ALL OF US. This back-breaking, thankless work.
