Governor Gavin Newsom:
If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

Do not come to America for any reason. Do not do business with American corporations.

If people want to spend billions on a thing without really knowing how it works only so that everyone can get fed mistakes, lies, and misinformation that at great cost contributes nothing to the general good while promising to fix all our problems, they already have the GOP.
