GAVIN NEWSOM'S OBSESSION WITH TRUMP JUST GOT WEIRDER

California Gov. Gavin Newsom claims his Oakland crackdown is a “tremendous success,” citing thousands of recovered stolen cars while street takeovers and retail crime continue to hammer residents.

We examine how selective metrics, false equivalences, and political branding shape public perception—and what it means for policing, public safety, and California politics.
