If there's a politician in America more in love with himself than Gavin Newsom, I'm unaware of who it is. 

In the latest hilarious example, Newsom went full-metal stand-up comic on Tuesday when the California Democrat governor claimed he's doing "DOGE but better” -- as his state continues to suffer massive deficits.

Let me know when you stop laughing, and we'll continue.

Newsom made the ridiculous claim while announcing that California would adopt three new artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives to make state government more efficient, according to Breitbart News.

Oh, cool; Elon Musk and DOGE Light. Dude, please.

Since Gavin "forgot" to mention it, I will: 

California health care officials told the California State Legislature in mid-March that the state will need another $2.8 billion to be able to pay Medi-Cal providers through the end of the fiscal year. That’s on top of a $3.4 billion loan -- for a whopping total of $6.2 billion that the administration told lawmakers earlier in March that it needed to make “critical” payments for Medi-Cal, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income people.

Yep, Gavin, California sure is doing 'DOGE but better." 

Here's more:

The state has suffered massive deficits in recent year, and had to borrow over $6 billion last month to keep its Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, afloat. Yet Newsom claims he is running a more efficient operation than Elon Musk could produce at the federal level through his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuty.

Newsom made his remarks at a press conference in which he announced that California would use AI tools to improve government operations. He did not announce any staff cuts or spending reductions, much less tax cuts, in line with that purported efficiency.

The governor, known for his Hollywood hair and teeth, and his penchant for empty gestures and podcasts, took swipes at Musk: “He wants the theatrics, the performative side.”
He claimed that DOGE had been “very damaging” in the way it had cut federal spending, and taunted Musk for failing, thus far, to reach trillion-dollar targets for cutting spending.

Yet, Newsom said:

We’re DOGE but better. And we’ve been DOGE but better for literally six years.

Dude, back off the gummies -- or whatever.

Anyway, on and on Newsom went, taking shots at Musk along the way:

I could have easily come in here with sunglasses and chainsaws — you know where I’m going — and gotten your attention. We’re DOGE but better.

[Musk and DOGE] haven’t come close to the savings they’ve asserted. I think it’s been very damaging. If that’s his legacy, it’s tarnishing the legacy he should otherwise be proud of: creating one of the world’s great automobile companies and rocket companies.

Newsom also "forgot" to mention that his proposed 2025 budget is $322 billion, up from his first proposed budget of $209 billion in 2019. 

So where are the governor's claimed efficiencies being generated? Like virtually everything else Newsom claims, smoke and mirrors -- and blatant lies, of course.
