Hey, it’s California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Last week, the President of the United States called for my arrest.

This is a day I hoped I would never see in America.

<<< Rush $3 to be split between the DGA and Campaign for Democracy to help elect Democratic governors who are fighting Trump’s dangerous actions and stop Republicans who work overtime to take away our rights >>>

Donald Trump has manufactured a crisis and is inflaming conditions because he wants spectacle and violence. He chose escalation. He chose force. He chose theatrics over public safety. He and his loyalists thrive on division, because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.

Team, I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican – this is a line we cannot cross as a nation, and an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism. Instead of working with me to find a solution, Trump and other Republicans are attacking me personally – Mike Johnson even said I should be “tarred and feathered”.

That’s why I’m fighting back.

We just filed an emergency motion to block Trump’s illegal actions immediately.

We're also suing the Trump administration for bypassing the executive authority of our country’s governors.

I’m doing everything I can to stop this completely reckless, illegal, and unconstitutional act – an abuse of power that could extend beyond California to any state he chooses. This very real threat to the foundation of our republic applies to all of us – to you.

That's why I’m reaching out to you now: Democracy is under assault before our eyes. As Trump’s attacks escalate, electing Democratic governors who won’t back down is more critical than ever. But with 38 races on the ballot this November and in 2026, and more beyond – including in key battlegrounds like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nevada – we need your help right now. Can you chip in $6, or even $3, to be split between the DGA and Campaign for Democracy before midnight?

Thank you for stepping up – it means a lot to me,

Gavin Newsom
Governor of California
