Gov. Gavin Newsom Suddenly Concerned About Money Going Down the Drain – Twitchy

Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s “absolutely certain” there won’t be elections in 2028 but is campaigning against President Donald Trump as if he were the 2028 nominee, is suddenly concerned about money going down the drain. Where are the billions of dollars that were supposed to help the homeless? Where’s the high-speed train to nowhere that is estimated to cost $128 billion?

But no, suddenly, Newsom is pinching pennies when it comes to the government deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles.

I’m not exaggerating when I say millions of $$ are going down the drain to fund Trump’s National Guard stunt in LA.

Let’s do the math:
$71M for food and necessities
$37M in payroll
Over $4M in logistics supplies
$3.5M in travel – the list goes on.

It’s time to wake up, America.

Newsom then links to an article in the Los Angeles Times quoting him as saying Trump’s military deployment in Los Angeles is costing $120 million.

How much have you spent on the homelessness epidemic that’s only gotten worse?

What about your train to nowhere?

At least Trump fixed your crime

I’m not exaggerating when I say billions of $$ are going down the drain to fund Newsom’s failed initiatives in CA.

Let’s do the math:
$24B for homelessness
$128B for “high speed rail”
$33B for “climate”
$33B lost to unemployment fraud – the list goes on.

It’s time to wake up,… https://t.co/gYukZSHTEZ

How much did you spend on homelessness? How about the “high speed train” that hasn’t laid a single track yet? Shut up, loser.

What about the $153,000,000,000 illegals cost the U.S. taxpayer??

Know how many “millions” that is Gavin?
How much are illegals costing the California taxpayer?

You can’t talk about “wasting money” until your house is in order.

Still cheaper than what LA spends in one month on illegals.

Talking about money going down the drain, you’ve spent $37 Billion to end homelessness, and homelessness increased by 24% under your watch.

Where is the money for the fire victims?

— Lieutenant Dan (@ltdann) September 4, 2025

Yeah, where’s the $100 million raised from the Fire Aid concert? It didn’t go to the fire victims. No houses have been rebuilt.

Darlin….you might want to check your own math first. There are billions missing under your watch.

Oh, and what happened to the 100 million raised for fire victims that never reached even one victim?

Newsom has to borrow money for the $11B to fund healthcare for illegals that was supposed to cost $3B. Trump is enforcing federal law which causes unrest and then gets lectured by Newsom for doing the job he was elected to do.

How’s that high speed rail project going? Homeless spending yield? How many Palisades homes are rebuilt?

What did you spend on each?

— Cody Penn-Dent (@codypd) September 4, 2025

You spent $9.5 BILLION dollars just in Medi-Cal for illegals in 2024…. People who are not even citizens who broke the law and were rewarded by your disgusting power grab from taxpayers, so shut your piehole.

It time for you to go away. You have no room to talk. You absolutely destroyed California. You fraud.

Where’s the missing $24 BILLION in homeless funds Gavin? What about the $100 million for satellites to monitor cow farts?

It’s time to wake up, California.

How much taxpayer money do you spend on illegals every year?

— PapaLeg (@PLeg66) September 4, 2025

Newsom really doesn’t want to bring up the issue of wasted money.
