In response, White House spokesperson Kush Desai told Fox News: "Gavin Newsom should focus on out-of-control homelessness, crime, regulations, and unaffordability in California instead of trying his hand at international dealmaking."

Seems like that's exactly what he's doing by trying to circumvent inflation.

It's always a jab with this administration eh?

They can't just say "we're looking into this and will discuss matters with the governor"

They were asked about a news article the other day and the White House referred to the news outlet as failing in their response. It's so childish.

I'm assuming it's New York Times because they really can't say that paper without putting failing in the front

Actually if it's the incident I'm thinking of, it was The Atlantic... which has been around since like 1850.

But they're mad at The Atlantic right now because their morons accidentally put the editor in chief into a secret Signal group chat, which was totally Jeff's fault.

It’s any news organization that says anything critical of Trump.
