 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 California Gov. Gavin Newsom issues executive order to remove all homeless encampments in the state - AP

What took him so long? 🤔 
 Bring back California, get rid of Newsom 
 Sounds like he's quickly preparing for something... 
 Compassion.  
 to where? 
 Trying to make things look good before the election so he can be Kamala’s running mate.

 Taken from Pirate Wires Daily:

Following the Supreme Court’s Grants Pass v. Johnson decision, which scrapped the “right” to public camping made up a decade ago by the ACLU, Governor Newsom is directing all California officials to begin dismantling homeless encampments statewide. Rhetorically, this is obviously a great first step away from “free tents for the unhoused.” But will this actually make a difference, on the ground? I’m skeptical. Newsom can’t force officials to clear the camps, and even if they do, current policy would require California taxpayers indefinitely fund housing for random methheads ‘displaced unhoused folk.’ A better solution? Clear the tents, figure out where the people living there are actually from, then give them all an EBT card and a one-way ticket home. The program’s called “Homeward Bound,” and it worked for years until we scrapped it.

This doesn't mean it's the reason that he IS doing it, just a reason that he CAN.
