Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry publicly criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom during a speech at the Dealbook Summit on Wednesday, telling the crowd she has “zero f***s left to give.” The Monster’s Ball star took aim at Newsom while delivering remarks about menopause care in healthcare plans and how women are viewed in Hollywood and corporate America. Berry referenced Newsom vetoing a menopause bill she supported. “Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row,” Berry explained. “But that’s okay, because he’s not going to be governor forever. And with the way he’s overlooked women — half the population — by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either,” she continued.

More from The Hollywood Reporter: Berry’s speech layered personal anecdotes from her childhood, and observations from her career and work as a philanthropist and activist. “As a founder, I’m building for myself what I wish I had 10 years ago with the knowing that it’s going to help generations and generations to come,” Berry said. “In 2025 there is a lot to still be talked about and discovered and uncovered, especially if you are a woman who is navigating midlife and thoughtfully considering your longevity, because in 2025 I, Halle Berry, and women of my age are simply devalued in this country,” Berry said. “Our culture thinks that at 59 years old, I am past my prime, and that women my age start to become invisible in Hollywood, in the workplace, on social media. Women are pressured to stay forever 35. We’re complimented if we seem to be aging backwards or defying gravity, as if that’s even possible, and if we somehow manage to look younger than our years, it’s suggested that’s the gold standard that our worth should be measured by.” “We’re encouraged to contort our bodies and our faces in truly extreme ways to chase this elusive fountain of youth,” she continued. “And sadly, I have to admit, I too, feel this pressure every single day. I feel that pressure to change myself in order to stay seen relevant and desirable.” Based on his prior comments and actions, Newsom appears to be strongly considering a 2028 White House run. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Latest Fundraiser Shows He’s Eyeing A 2028 Presidential Run Fox News explained further: The bill, AB 432, introduced by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, had a goal of improving and expanding menopause care, mandating that a healthcare service plan or health insurer provide recommendations for menopause-related treatments. The bill would have also required healthcare providers to get training on menopause care, according to a press release from Bauer-Kahn. Newsom vetoed the bill a second time in October. Newsom told CBS News in October he is giving serious thought to running for president in 2028. The governor was also in attendance at Wednesday's DealBook Summit.

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) on Thursday said he will file articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. “I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes." – Pete Hegseth 2016. I agree, this is why I'll be introducing articles of impeachment against Secretary Hegseth. https://t.co/LQjd0Dxh1c — Congressman Shri Thanedar (@RepShriThanedar) December 4, 2025 “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is uniquely unqualified for his role. Every day, it becomes clearer that he is engaging in unlawful, illegal activity,” Thanedar said in a video address. “That is why, today, I am preparing two articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth,” he continued. Footage below: Hegseth must be impeached. Thank you for your attention to this matter. pic.twitter.com/qA1eK2WObm — Congressman Shri Thanedar (@RepShriThanedar) December 4, 2025 The Hill has more: “This secretary has to go,” Thanedar told Fox News host Josh Breslow. “He’s incompetent. He’s, you know, violated — he has committed war crimes. He must go.” He added, “And if both parties, if Republicans are willing to look at this for the merit of this case and not just their loyalty to President Trump, this can be done.” Thanedar pointed to Hegseth’s use of the encrypted messaging app Signal with other administration officials to discuss a pending strike on Houthi targets in Yemen as one reason to oust the Defense chief. A report from the Pentagon’s inspector general, released publicly on Thursday, found that Hegseth put the lives of U.S. troops at risk and violated department policy through the use of the app. The Atlantic’s editor Jeffrey Goldberg was included in the Signal chat, along with Hegseth, Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Office of Inspector General argued in its report that if detailed strike plans were intercepted, the lives of U.S. troops would have been endangered. “Rep. Shri Thanedar holds a lackluster rally introducing articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth,” Daily Caller congressional reporter Caden Olson commented. Rep.

I unequivocally stand with our Secretary of War!! — Ronny Jackson (@RonnyJacksonTX) December 4, 2025 Axios noted: Thanedar will unveil his articles of impeachment Thursday morning during a rally at Union Station in Washington, D.C., his office said in a press advisory. The articles will accuse Hegseth of “Murder and Conspiracy to Murder and Reckless and Unlawful Mishandling of Classified Information,” the advisory said. He will be joined at the rally by FLARE, a group pushing for Trump to be impeached. Jeffries, asked at a Monday press conference about the possibility of impeaching Hegseth, shooed away the idea. “Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that’s the case,” he said.

Bump, bump, bump…..another one bites the dust! Another day and another Democrat Hoax just bit the dust… In case you missed it, the new Hoax was a push to say that Hegseth (and their real target is Trump) committed War Crimes by blowing up these Narco-Terrorist boats. Specifically, they really tried to play up the fact that two Narco-Terrorists reportedly survived on strike so then a second was sent that took them out. Here is just one example of what the Anti-Trumpers were posting online: Hegseth is a war criminal. He ordered the attacks on survivors. Nazis didn’t even break this international law. Nuremberg is waiting. pic.twitter.com/MaqhQCJy1w — Casey (@NotAnOrangeFan) November 30, 2025 First of all, the whole argument seems completely irrational to me. These Narco-Terrorists are Narco-Terrorists whether they survive one strike or not. What, you survive a strike and suddenly you get immunity? Imagine back in the Revolutionary War taking a shot at a Red Coat, missing, and then suddenly you’re not allowed to shoot them ever again? That’s not how this works! That’s not how any of this works! Complete nonsense. But even better is the new evidence that just emerged, which proves that these two “Fishermen” (LOL, they are “Fisherman” just about as much as that MS13 gangbanger is a “Maryland Man”) — but anyway, the new evidence shows these “Fishermen” survived and then immediately tried to save the Cocaine! Watch here: President Trump truly is the master…. He actually has the Far-Left defending Drug Traffickers, it’s incredible! Meanwhile, it’s equally hilarious that the people who can’t identify a woman, a criminal, a peaceful protest, dementia in a sitting President, or which bathroom to use, can suddenly clearly identify THIS as a fishing boat: Democrats can’t identify a woman, a criminal, a peaceful protest, dementia, or which bathroom to use, but they sure can identify a fishing boat when they see one pic.twitter.com/G0WR3VJTNH — Mike Engleman (@RealHickory) December 4, 2025 Hilarious! Nice try Dems, but another big SWING and a MISS! I’m sure you’ll “get Trump” next time!

This is absolutely disgusting… The amount of self-hating groveling in this video I am about to show you is enough to make you want to puke. So I apologize for that, but I have to shine a light on this garbage. Watch as Wokeism runs absolutely amok as this white woman goes up on stage, grovels to the black man, puts on chains, and then rambles on about how interested she is in black people, and how she took classes in school about black people, and how now she will only attend a black church because it’s the only place she feels she belongs. Total garbage. Watch here: Sorry folks, but you will NEVER catch me groveling or even apologizing for being white. Black pride is ok? Asian pride is ok? Indian pride is ok? Mexican pride is ok? But proud to be White is not ok? Get outta here with that crap. WOKE is dead and this garbage needs to die with it. Stop the self-loathing…. Stop the performance art…. Stop the pandering. You didn’t own slaves. Your grandparents didn’t own slaves. No black person alive today was ever a slave. Get this garbage identity politics out of America! Woke people want you to apologize for being white What’s your response?pic.twitter.com/TOpR58K7rn — Anti Woke Memes (@AntiWokeMemes) December 4, 2025 Your thoughts?

This is a class act move by President Trump. On Thursday, President Trump wrote a proclamation ordering the White House and all military buildings and bases to lower the U.S. flag half-staff to honor Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. Beckstrom was tragically shot and killed in Washington D.C. while on duty with the West Virginia National Guard. The White House released President Trump’s full proclamation: As a mark of respect for the memory of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, West Virginia Army National Guard, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, December 4, 2025. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth. -DONALD J. TRUMP Take a look of the U.S. flag flying half-staff outside of the White House: Flags at the White House are lowered to half-staff in memory of Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. May God bless her family, our National Guard heroes, and the United States of America. pic.twitter.com/OyOGMc0dv3 — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) December 4, 2025 Another look: Flags at the White House were lowered to half-staff in honor of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom who was killed last week in Washington, DC pic.twitter.com/uZHpTxBaKx — Doug Mills (@dougmillsnyt) December 4, 2025 The House has also introduced a resolution to honor Beckstrom, per WVVA: Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-W.Va.), joined by Congressman Riley Moore (R-W.Va.), introduced a House resolution Dec. 3, 2025, honoring U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, two West Virginia National Guard members who were targeted and shot while serving in the line of duty last week. Specialist Beckstrom died on Thanksgiving Day. Staff Sergeant Wolfe remains hospitalized and is showing signs of improvement, officials said. The resolution recognizes the service and sacrifice of Beckstrom and Wolfe and signals congressional support for their families and the West Virginia National Guard community. Miller and Moore thanked Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Jim Justice for preparing companion Senate language. As a mother and grandmother, I grieve with Sarah’s family as her life was taken far too soon. We honor their selfless service and stand united against the evil that has struck our nation.”
