It's crazy to me that Newsom seems to be the only prominent Democrat who is consistently willing and able to get under Trump's skin and that of his supporters.

Don't get me wrong, many have spoken up and continue to do so. Newsom seems to be the one that gets to them the most, though, and most of what he says on social media these days is just a parody of Trump himself lol

Because he finds joy in attack mode, just like Trump. He is fighting fire with fire, instead of trying to take the "high road" like alot of moronic democrats do when Trump attack them.

It’s just PR dude it’s funny and all but don’t confuse words with actions

I haven't heard a word from the others in weeks.

Even Bernie and AOC/Crockett have been quiet lately. Maybe Pritzker sometimes.

Well, he is running the 4th largest economy in the world and contributes more federal tax money than any other state so dudes got some leverage. I like that he's flexing.
