Hmm, I don't see it at that govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov account progree Nov 29 #17

It's on X. Newsom posts more on X than on Bluesky. Same for a lot of accounts on both platforms. highplainsdem Nov 29 #18

Yes, I saw the X account before posting what I posted above. I just don't believe X account is really an official progree Nov 29 #20

X does NOT sell the gray verifications for government accounts. It's the blue checkmarks on X that are highplainsdem Nov 30 #21

I'm well aware that good Democrats have and post on X accounts. I just don't believe this particular progree Nov 30 #22

Yes, those press accounts pretty much convinced me it's a real account that is what it says it is. progree Nov 30 #33

"Real verified X account" -- Because X says so with it's little verified thingy? progree Nov 30 #32

Wow! Nice to see the truth in bold caps for a change. All 100% TRUE! Martin68 Nov 29 #19
