Assembly Bill 2164 authored by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) would have prohibited California’s governor from recognizing a request for extradition of a person related to their providing a legally protected healthcare activity in the Golden State to transgender individuals, or if they provide reproductive services. It provided certain exemptions, such as an extradition required by federal law.

This guy should have never had any sort of power
Who needs the GOP when the dems are like this?
These people?
Those people are cheering this decision. Or would be if their media bubble allows them to find out about it.
Only way this makes sense if he takes health care out of it and specifically frames it as “You don’t get to constrain the powers of the governor.”
I can also see a flaw in the law… what if some state wants to extradite someone for medical malpractice?
“Oh, nope! They do gender affirming care! Doctor Mengele is now safe from extradition!”
Either way, it will be fascinating watching him try to weasel his way through the primaries on this.
This guys slept with his best friend’s wife and then blamed it on alcoholism. What kind of piece of shit do you have to be to do something like that? It’s so treacherous and lacking in empathy to sleep with a best friend’s wife that there has to be a fundamental absence of conscience; and the fact that it wasn’t illegal and he could blame it on alcoholism meant he was able to sweep his vileness under the rug for voter’s to overlook.
This vote doesn’t surprise me. This vote should surprise no one. Gavin Newsom has always been terrible.
This is also an example of how money and power have infected progressivism. If the public really had a real selection of candidates instead of curated talking heads, this situation wouldn’t be occurring. The power of wealthy donors or publicity from privately owned rich media conglomerates ensures that usually only the pre-selected are in the public sphere.
You think it should be illegal for two consenting adults to have sex with each other?
Well when one person is married it literally is illegal for them to have sex with someone else. It’s called adultery. Not that I necessarily agree with it, I have pretty negative views of marriage itself, but that’s neither here nor there. It is illegal to cheat on your spouse (technically, and idk if every US state is the same)
It’s not illegal in California.
cuz they’re all woke n shit I am right
The booze would explain why this douche canoe swerves wildly back and forth across that centrist line line he’s trying to run down a rabbit in a Ferrari.
This guy is also horrible but the bar is so low these days… The democratic party is also responsible for the mess we are in. They stopped being a party of the people long time ago. Need to purge the Schumers, Pelosis and Newsoms.
Our next President-apparent. Fucking hell, this is who they’re going to run against Vance, aren’t they?
He’s the one money will support but there is precedent for that to not matter. See Clinton v Obama, Jeb v Trump and various smaller races.
“Jeb!”
fixed it for ya
^please clap^
Thankfully he is not favored currently, but its very close. I can promise you I will gladly devote a chunk of my life to volunteering for a candidate running against him in the primaries, to keep him out of the white house. Send him back to the Napa vineyards where scum like this belongs.
He has to win a primary first.
The DNC didn’t bother last time, and they rigged the one before that. What’s to stop them from doing the same this time? Party primaries are not required by law.
Once again, the only thing leftist can be reprimanded for is being right too early.
This is why I don’t want him to run for president. He is not a progressive.
I mean this isn’t even just not progressive, this is collaboration with fascist states to do fascism.
What a fucking cuck
Ghoul-som?
I’ve seen Gavin Gruesome around before.
Newsom is a neoliberal. Neoliberals are conservatives. He is controlled opposition. He will try to trick the public into believing he is progressive in 2028. He is a pathological liar and conman just like any other conservative.
If he want to make it through a primary, he will have to cheat. I hate Newsom
No he won’t, if he’s chosen as the new Annointed One then the party leaders who should be impartially managing the primary will cheat for him, just like they did for Hillary, Biden, and Harris.
If he isn’t, no amount of cheating on his part will be able to overcome the party’s cheating on behalf of whoever the donors have selected.
“Governor vetoes bill that would limit the powers of the Governor.”
I’m so shocked.
I can’t wait to get yelled at by democrats when i refuse to vote for this shit head in a few years.
I’d rather eat a bag of Aids dicks.
Just one more neolib bro! We’ll get someone worth a damn, you just gotta support one more shithead I promise!!
Looking forward to President Vance!
Hopefully he doesn’t make it past the primaries. Unfortunately if he does and he’s up against a MAGA Republican, there’s only one clear choice.
Go help campaign for progressive candidates before the primaries! Come November 2028, it may be too late.
Go help campaign for progressive candidates before the primaries
Please, everyone who thinks the Democratic Party can be saved, to do this. It will convince you faster than anything else I know of that the party isn’t salvageable and that party leadership is just as awful privately as the other guys are publicly.
And your solution is to what? Let the country burn down?
Oh. .ml, yes that probably is your solution.
My solution is exactly what I said, not sure what part has you confused…
Oh, .world. Yeah, confusion is probably your normal state.
.world user advocating for a political party responsible for a genocide and accelerating climate change.
What else is new?
Unfortunately if he does and he’s up against a MAGA Republican, there’s only one clear choice.
I even held my nose and voted for Harris, but “stay home and don’t vote” appears to be the only clear choice here. Newsom vs. MAGA is just MAGA vs. MAGA. When Newsom was imitating Trump on twitter, all I could think was “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” I don’t think it’s too much to expect the Democrats to have learned something from the 2024 elections; they can ignore progressives, but progressives can ignore them too, and then the whole country suffers.
Republicans deserve to be yelled at, and if it’s newsom or vance and you choose vance by not voting, you’re a republican and deserve to be yelled at.
Blindly partisan loyalists deserve to be yelled at.
I don’t need to do any mental gymnastics to make that apply to the people I’m applying it to.
Your guaranteed vote no matter how awful the candidate is is the reason the candidate is more awful every cycle.
Basically he said that he thinks this should be left up to the governor, whoever that is, and no matter how righteous and well intentioned, the issue shouldn’t be decided for all time this way, eroding future governors’ authority.
What a spineless position. Why pass any laws at all? Why not leave everything up to the whims of whoever is in office?
Doesn’t the legislature decide issues all the time and enshrine those decisions for the future in law? Isn’t that what they do? Why the fuck should extradition for providing healthcare be any different? Isn’t he “eroding the authority” of the legislature in saying no, we should leave this as governor’s discretion, just in principle?
I’m not just hating Newsom reflexively here. I seriously don’t understand his argument, despite trying.
His argument is that other republican states will use this as precedent for disobeying federal law, I’m just not sure how he hasn’t realized Republicans don’t care about precedent at all
