1. Newsom is so much better at this than the guy in the white house

his briefings are on at noon each day. they are a pleasure to hear.

[hlthe2b]

2. You are DAMNED RIGHT this is the tweet of the evening. I have been hoping CO would join

their ideological and progressive fellow states, CA, WA, OR and heaven knows NV is trying (despite Las Vegas' idiot for a mayor)

[madamesilverspurs]

12. Except for Weld County, of course,

where the county commishes think themselves to be smarter than God, and take every opportunity to thumb their noses at Gov. Polis. These are the same putzes who tried to get the northeast part of the state to secede not that long ago. It's why our infection and death rates rival Denver's, with much smaller population and lower population density. It's why MSNBC and CNN have been broadcasting from Greeley today, covering the deaths of workers at the meat packing plant and barbershops that are opening because the commishes told everyone it was okay to defy the statewide safer-at-home policy.

I'm a Colorado native, and a resident of Weld for forty+ years. And if I could move right now, I would. Very sick of the republican party garbage.

15. Sorry, madamesilverspurs. Nothing Weld Co's "finest" do suprises me...

You'd think that watching their WAAAAY out-of-proportion death rate continue might just wake up some of them, but apparently not. I always thought the Health Director (Mark Wallace, MD) had common sense so I guess they just squeeze him out of the decisions?

3. During this pandemic I find myself

even happier than before to live in a state with a rational leader. It DOES make a difference. In Nov 2016 I said out loud for the first time in my life, "I don't feel safe anymore". Thank Dog for leadership like Newsom and others who are using their brains and science.

4. Good job California. Fuck trump, fuck Barr, fuck the entire Republican death cult. Stay safe, alive.

[Demonaut]

5. CO is very slow on testing

[Wounded Bear]

7. Everybody has been slow on testing since Trump wouldn't allow the Feds to help...

5 states working together, maybe they can at least get the supplies and equipment they need.

Not to mention coordinating the re-opening.

[nilram]

20. Friends in Czech Republic and in Chile are boggling that we

can’t get tests. I am, too, honestly.

[Upthevibe]

6. I feel so grateful to be living in California right now....

......It just feels like there's a well-thought out and realistic plan because of Governor Newsome.

[Auggie]

8. Ladies & Gents: Presenting THE WESTERN STATES OF AMERICA

Hundreds of miles of sandy, beautiful beaches. An ocean. Majestic mountains. Great skiing. Gorgeous deserts. Fertile valleys. Fine wine. A Disneyland. Legal weed. And Las Vegas.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. but don't forget........

the giant redwoods,
the fir,
the mighty scotch pine,
the smell of fresh-cut timber,
the crash of mighty trees..........

10. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico

would be great additions and show of solidarity. Will they?

[bermudat]

14. I grew up in Idaho so that would be a resounding NO!

[hlthe2b]

16. WY has an idiot for a Governor who ignores the medical community totally, so I'd say undoubtedly NO

[Delmette2.0]

21. I hope they all do.

[Nay]

27. Idaho, Montana and Utah have gobs of those Nazi sympathizers. No to them.

[flibbitygiblets]

11. Cascadia, where we respect intelligence, the environment and diverse living creatures.

And proving that you can do all of those things and still manage to be economically self-sufficient.

[duforsure]

13. No matter what these Democrat Governors do,

trump will use this to deny funding them . They are doing a great job, and watch trump will claim it was because of him , when its been in spite of him. A president is abusing his power and during a national health and economic crisis he's misusing emergency funding as a political weapon.

[Chipper Chat]

17. Go ahead trumpie - continue to trash these 5 states.

If you eke out a victory in November look for a movement to secede.

[SMC22307]

19. Democratic Governors, not Democrat. (n/t)

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. He CANNOT deny funding to the states.

He doesn't have the authority.

[RockCreek]

18. New Mexico next?

Adjacent to Colorado. And perhaps more open to this than the remaining Western states.

[Blue Owl]

23. K&R

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Change the name to Sensible States Pact and you'll gain more members.

[Mickju]

25. It must be nice to have an intelligent governor.

[karin_sj]

26. Love my governor

So glad I live in California for many reasons, and he’s at the top of the list right now.
