Steyerโs hedge fund previously invested almost $90 million in a private company that operates ICE detention facilities (CoreCivic), including Californiaโs largest ICE detention facility in Kern County.
He now calls ICE a criminal enterprise.

Gavin Newsom wants to run for President. Before a single ballot is cast, every American deserves to see what he did to the largest state in the union.
I did a little research and coalesced everything into this post from public resources.
๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฑ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ:
๐๐๐,๐๐๐ net population loss in 2024โ25 alone (U.S. Census Bureau). Over ๐.๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง residents fled since 2020 (CA Dept. of Finance). The largest outbound migration of any state in America. People aren't leaving paradise โ they're escaping a dumpster fire with a coastline.
๐๐ก๐ $๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ:
California spent $๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ on homelessness over five years. That's roughly $๐๐๐,๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง. The result? Homelessness ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ by 30,000 people โ from 151,000 to over 181,000. That's a ๐๐% ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐ since 2013 (HUD).
It gets worse. The California State Auditor found the agency responsible for tracking outcomes โ the Interagency Council on Homelessness โ ๐ก๐๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐. No consistent method to collect outcome data. Didn't verify accuracy of data from municipalities. The state database was riddled with deleted records and test entries. They burned through $24 billion and ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ.
And in San Jose and San Diego, over ๐๐% of homeless placements were into temporary housing โ not permanent. ๐๐% of those people ended up back on the street. A $24 billion revolving door.
๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐:
$๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ for a high-speed rail that was originally budgeted at $33B and has moved ๐ณ๐๐ซ๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฌ (CA HSR Authority). A $๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ budget deficit in 2024โ25 (LAO). That's not governance. That's arson with a spreadsheet.
๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ฑ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ:
Chevron, SpaceX, Tesla, Oracle, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Charles Schwab โ all relocated their headquarters to Texas. Over ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ฌ fled California between 2018 and 2024 (Hoover Institution). These aren't strip malls. These are the engines of the American economy voting with their feet.
๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฑ-๐๐ง๐-๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฅ:
California charges the highest income tax in America โ ๐๐.๐% โ and gets half its income tax revenue from the top 1% of earners. So what happens when you squeeze the golden goose? It leaves.
In 2022, Newsom saw a one-time post-COVID revenue spike โ fueled by federal relief money, not real growth โ and declared a ๐๐จ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ "$๐๐.๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฌ" that never appeared in any actual budget document (CalMatters). He went on a spending spree. Two years later, the state quietly admitted to a $๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ revenue forecasting error over four years (LAO). Personal income tax collections crashed ๐๐% in a single year. The "Big Three" revenue sources dropped ๐๐% (LAO).
And it's getting worse. An estimated $๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง in billionaire wealth has left the state. Six billionaires alone โ including @elonmusk and Larry Ellison โ took roughly ๐๐% of California's aggregate billionaire wealth with them. Every dollar of capital gains they generate for the rest of their lives will now be taxed at 0% in Texas instead of 13.3% in Sacramento.
Sacramento's response? Propose a new wealth tax โ which is accelerating the exodus even faster. The LAO projects deficits of $๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง/๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ for the remainder of Newsom's term. They are taxing themselves into bankruptcy.
๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ :
Electricity costs ๐๐% ๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ the national average (EIA). Gas at $๐.๐๐/๐ ๐๐ฅ vs. $3.20 nationally (AAA). Californians pay more for the privilege of watching their state crumble.
๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ & ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐:
Prop 47 reclassified theft under $950 as a misdemeanor โ retail theft surged so badly that Walgreens and Whole Foods shuttered locations in San Francisco. ๐๐๐,๐๐๐+ homeless residents โ the largest unsheltered population in the United States (HUD).
This is Gavin Newsom's California. The population is fleeing. The businesses are gone. The billionaires took a trillion dollars with them. The budget is a crater built on a $165 billion fantasy. They spent $132,000 per homeless person and ended up with 30,000 ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ of them. The trains don't exist. The lights barely stay on. And the shoplifters have more legal protection than the store owners.
This isn't a resume. It's a rap sheet.
And this is what Gavin Newsom is running on. This is all he has to offer. He can't point to a single crisis he inherited โ he ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ them. Population loss, revenue collapse, a homeless crisis that got worse the more money he threw at it, a business exodus with no end in sight, and a budget held together with accounting gimmicks and borrowed time.
The question every voter should ask: is this the model you want copied to all 50 states? Because that's the only thing he's selling.
๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐. ๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐'๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ.
And no, the other 49 states don't want him either.
MUST WATCH. Video from 2014 of then Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom speaking honestly about the California high-speed rail project.
Newsom: "The facts seem overwhelming that this project is not going to materialize in our lifetime."
Newsom admitted that they manipulated revenue projections to get support for the project and that they used federal funding that was not intended for high-speed rail to advance the project.
Newsom also claimed that if actual analysis were done, the project would be killed.
As Governor, Newsom has spent years selling the project to Californians by using the same lies that he once criticized. It appears that Newsom has known for over a decade how this project would turn out. Why did he continue to push this disaster on Californians?
Weeks ago Newsom celebrated the project's success, even though no track has been installed. The current estimated completion time for the entire project is approximately 20 years from now. Last year Newsom sued the Trump Admin for withholding funding for the project.
THROWBACK to an interview that Swalwell wishes he could DELETE! Remember his excitement as Biden's DOJ was going after Trump supporters?
"You're not above the law. You're not an elite. You're not untouchable."
That same dude is now having meltdowns in the media because he's potentially under investigation.
REPOST and expose him!
#thinblueline #lawenforcement
Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
โข Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
โข Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
โข Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
โข Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Sue him personally and the State of California for defamation. You are doing a legitimate journalistic investigation and he appears to be characterizing you as a pedophile -- about the worst thing you can call someone. And while the sitting Governor. SUE HIM.
BREAKING: We HAVE the simple majority NOW - even McConnell voted YES to advance the SAVE America Act! With Vance ready to break any tie, there's ZERO excuse left!
@LeaderJohnThune - it's time to stop threatening cloture and dodging the fight! Force Democrats to hold the floor, speak non-stop, and own their opposition to proof-of-citizenship voting. We can just DO THINGS and pass this with 51 votes.
Nobody should leave until this is on its way to Trump's desk.
Excuse me, @LeaderJohnThune: I have a message I want you to understand loud and clear. Please have @RWrasse explain it in simple terms if needed.
You have been shown far more grace than you deserve when it comes to DELIVERING on anything the American people want and deserve.
President Trump WON the mandate he has, in part thanks to his vow to SECURE OUR ELECTIONS. The Democrats already stole 2020, and here you are still sleeping on the job.
You have prioritized vacations, charades, fake interviews, and everything else aside from DOING YOUR JOB and getting bills like the SAVE America Act to Trump's desk.
A simple majority exists, but now it appears a few hours of FAKE debate will occur, ending with you invoking cloture. That moment will be THE END of any hope that our elections will be secure in time for the midtermsโaside from Trump laying down the law with Executive Orders that will feed into the chaos Democrats want.
You've already limited amendments and shown NO motivation to enforce an actual talking filibuster. The arguments on the Senate floor right now are BARELY germane to what's being debated.
Tell the American people what YOU plan to do to get this across the finish line. So far, all I've seen is constant flip-flopping and kowtowing to Democrats at EVERY TURN after a few harsh words and "strongly worded letters."
Make no mistake: there is NO FORGIVING a betrayal of this magnitude. The entirety of the GOP base will ensure you have NO CHANCE of winning another election, granted Democrats will definitely ensure EVERYTHING you didn't do, they do ten times more drastic when they steal back power.
When we say THIS IS THE FIGHT TO FIGHT, that doesn't mean fake debate for a couple hours and call it a day.
STAY AND GET THIS DONE.
