Best 'Dish What They Dish Out' Team Crookie: Gavin Newsom's Press Office
December 25, 2025

There are many good things I can say about Gavin Newsom, but the very best thing is his excellent decision to hold a mirror up to Trump and do to him what he does to the rest of us.

The Gavin Newsom Press Office account is a combination of actual press releases and efforts to troll the hell out of Trump. For example, this is a recent post intended to mock Trump's juvenile "Hall of Fame" photo descriptions.

Or this one, which is deadly serious about the fact that the LA Fire survivors (of which John Amato is one) are getting no federal funds.

His reaction to Trump's "national address" from the White House sums it up pretty well.

All those words when he could’ve just said: fuck your health care and your grocery bills. Get a third job, peasant.

And of course, the obligatory "hotness" post, which really does get under Lumpy's orange skin:

For all of this and also the posting on BlueSky so we don't have to go to the bad place to see it, we award Gavin Newsom's Press Office the Good Guy Crookie for Dishing out what they Dish.
