Gavin Newsom is facing yet another scandal - this time involving alleged corruption tied to $20 million in taxpayer money, which is being used to fund the state’s new “free diapers” initiative. Here’s the kicker: the eight-figure deal involves a nonprofit led by a woman associated with Newsom’s wife.
Just before Mother’s Day, Newsom announced a first-of-its-kind state program that provides newborns with 400 free diapers before they leave the hospital. The Golden State is working with Baby2Baby, a nonprofit that provides diapers, clothing, and other basic necessities to children in need across the nation.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton slammed the program’s allegedly wasteful plan: “If you take the number of diapers they’re planning to send out and the amount of money that he’s spending on it, it’s 50 cents for each one, which is like 100 times more expensive if you just bought them in Costco.”
Media Research Center’s Brittany Hughes explained that Baby2Baby’s branded diapers will be used in the program: “Meaning that instead of lowering taxes and letting families keep their own money to buy essentials like diapers, California takes their money, pumps it through a ‘nonprofit’ that has overhead and whose CEO made $240,000 in 2024, to provide a ‘free’ service available only in certain locations, and that you could have bought yourself for much cheaper.”

what’s not to loathe?
AI says a generic disposable diaper costs $0.10 - $0.15.
The taxpayers are only paying 3 - 5x too much. Such a deal...
Please seat yourself.
