The one thing I am learning from this is that media, to a certain extent, treats Newsom's silly Trump-mimicking similar to how they do with Trump's antics.

The gizmodo article here being the exception rather than the rule. Most articles engage and report on this quite shallowly, more talking about what is said and done, rather than the broader picture of what they are doing and why.

It's bad that they do this, and Walz is way better at trolling than Newsom, but the silver lining benefit is that Newsom doing this sucks the airtime away from Trump's attention-seeking or distraction stunts.

Newsom should release just some random files with a heavy nod to Epstein. Like the first letter of each document spells out Epstein or something.

that would be entirely too edgy for the DNC to allow. powerful men from both parties are on that list.

Exactly, Jeffrey Epstein had deep Mossad ties and compromised many wealthy and influential people: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ex-cia-agent-explains-why-epstein-may-secret-israeli-agent-why-list-will-never-released-1738842
