Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in Orange County on Saturday after a hazardous chemical incident at an aerospace facility forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. The emergency proclamation allows California to ramp up its response as crews continue scrambling to contain the dangerous situation and assist displaced families across the region.

That’s the same thing Gavin Newsom does. With a record of wreckage behind him, the governor calmly prods the crowds to look away. In the latest example, Newsom called on X for a boycott of Chevron this Memorial Day weekend, alleging Big Oil profiteering on gas and urging motorists to buy cheaper “unbranded” gas instead.
