Gavin Newsom's office posted an AI-generated image on X showing Sen. Ted Cruz as a dog with a bowl labeled 'Chevron’s lap dog' and the caption 'Chevron Cruz is a good boy.' Sen. Cruz had highlighted lower gas prices at a Texas Chevron station compared to California's average and attributed the difference to state energy policies. The exchange follows an earlier April post by Newsom mocking limited-edition Trump passports.
