John -
Let me be very clear about a few things today.
Police should do policing — not the military. Military on the streets for no reason is what happens in third world countries.
These military deployments in California were meant to provoke protest and violence and to lay the foundation for Trump to deploy members of the military across the country.
And here is the kicker. Trump's politicization of our military is pulling them off critical missions in California to further his agenda.
The Ranch Fire in San Bernardino is 4,000 acres and growing.
Meanwhile, five of California’s 14 National Guard fire crews are understaffed ... including crews that "rake the forest" as Trump likes to say ... all because Trump deployed them for a political stunt in LA.
It's not just illegal. It's dangerous.
Thank you for everything,
Gavin Newsom

As you've seen in recent days, California is under attack from the Trump administration: from deploying the military in LA to escalate tensions and provoke violence, talking about defunding our state, and even threatening to arrest Gavin Newsom.
