Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 23:22:35 GMT

(KRON) -- On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted that California is "done" with Walgreens, declaring the state will no longer do business with the pharmacy store chain over abortion pill issues. But, it's unclear exactly how this decision would impact Californians or Walgreens.Walgreens last week announced it wouldn't sell abortion pills by mail to 20 conservative-led states. The statement came after attorneys general in the 20 states warned Walgreens and pharmacy chain CVS that they could face legal consequences if they sold abortion pills by mail to those states. Newsom won’t deliver State of the State speech After the announcement, Newsom's Office told KRON4 that, “California is reviewing all relationships between Walgreens and the state. We will not pursue business with companies that cave to right wing bullies pushing their extremist agenda or companies that put politics above the health of women and girls.”When KRON4 asked how much business California does with Walgreens and h...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom won't give a State of the State address this year, shunning the teleprompter that has frustrated him because of his dyslexia in favor of a statewide tour this month, in which he can highlight his major policy goals in a more informal setting.It's a break from tradition for Newsom, a Democrat and potentially a future presidential candidate who has attempted many times to reinvent the speech for modern audiences. He has tried devoting the entire speech to just one topic — homelessness in 2020 — and using Dodger Stadium during the pandemic to give exhausted residents a pep talk about “ brighter days ahead.” Newsom slams Walgreens, says California will cease doing business with company Scripted speeches have given Newsom trouble because of his dyslexia, a common learning disability that makes it harder for him to read and do other things related to reading. It's why he rarely uses notes in his public appearance...
