Texas Public Policy Foundation Vice President Chuck DeVore urged DeVore to rule on what went wrong in the 2024 election, and Democrats demanded a return from alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
California's progressive Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom released a bragging ad about the California economy and beat President Donald Trump's tariffs, but later pointed out that the video used footage from Ukraine and Estonia instead of California.
Since then, the camera has been replaced by video shooting in the United States.
The governor, a vocal Trump critic, has rumored to have a presidential wish, and he released an ad this week. In the 30-second clip, he claimed that Trump's tariffs were "punishing families and risking ending the U.S. economy."
He also touted California's economic capabilities, boasting that the state is now the fourth largest economy in the world.

While Newsom boasted about California’s innovation and manufacturing, the ad played footage that looked like high-tech offices and large warehouses. However, an X user was quick to point out that the video used in the ad was actually shot in Ukraine and Estonia rather than California.
Another X user, Brandon Phillips, is a Georgia GOP operator, quipped, “Little Details!” In response to part of the reason for the California ad, it was actually shot in Eastern Europe.
A simple internet search shows that the warehouse images were created in Ukrainian photographer and named "Artie Medvedev".

Meanwhile, the office footage used in the ad was produced by a company called "Gorodenkoff Productions", located in Tallinn, Estonia.
Newsom's office did not respond to a request for comment from FOS News Digital. However, his team eventually removed the video with Ukrainian and Estonia videos, replacing the video it lacked in foreign footage that X users noticed.

Newsom has been severely criticized for allegedly prioritizing his political ambitions over his role as governor. A new survey conducted by the UC Berkeley Government Institute and co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times found that 54% of California registered voters believe Newsom is more focused on his personal presidential ambitions than addressing ongoing problems at home in Golden State.
Trump has said he would "like" the news magazine to launch a White House bid for the Democrats, but he said his response to wildfires and other issues "almost removed him from the game."
