"Here’s the truth," he wrote, attaching a video discussing the "red state murder problem."
"I've not been able to find a single explanation for the fact that we have a red state murder problem," he said. "Eight of the top ten states with the highest murder rates happen to be red."
"What are the laws and policies in those states that are leading to such carnage?" Newsom continued.
"I just joined Trump’s Truth Social. Going to be on there calling out Republican lies. This could get…interesting. My first post -- breaking down America’s red state murder problem," the governor told his Twitter followers.

Trump's social media alternative launched Feb. 21 and saw a long waiting list to create an account. The platform is run by Trump Media & Technology Group, which is chaired by Trump. Former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) serves as CEO.
As of late March, “daily active users” were reportedly clocking in at 513,000, compared to Twitter’s roughly 217 million visitors, despite Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, boldly claiming it would not only disrupt fellow social media networks, but “Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google” as well. Meanwhile, people who want to use the app appear less than content with the product. “What’s the point of getting the app when you can’t create an account?” reads one App Store review, which continues, “I’ve tried to creat[e] an account about 10 times. It says the[y] have sent me a verification email which I never receive.”

Says another: “The app barely functions. Complete propaganda and the spreading of misinformation. It is becoming a platform for Trump to fund raise for his lackeys to continue to grift.” In April, two top executives who, sources told Reuters, were “central players” and the “brains” behind the app’s technology, quit. The would-be merger of Digital World Acquisition, a special purpose acquisition company, and Truth Social’s parent company, is under review by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The app is still not available for Android users despite CEO Devin Nunes, who left his job in Congress to administer this thing, saying it would be fully functional by the end of March. And after going months without sending a single “truth,” Trump has started to engage a bit more with the network he founded, but at nowhere near the rate he did on Twitter.
