Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

One thing I’ve learned about California politics is that newsom has frequently vetoed bills that passed with an OVERWHELMING majority in the state senate/assembly and the legislature typically has significantly more than enough votes to override his vetoes.
So why don’t they do it? Literally because of precedent. They don’t do it because that’s just the way it has always been done and they’re afraid to veto because they don’t want to make the governor look bad.
Elected representatives will go as far as criticizing the governor for his vetoes but they refuse to ever do anything about it
Could also be they only pass that way because they know he'll veto it for them
sounds about ~~right~~ democrat
They don't do it for the same reason Saturday morning cartoon villains never truly get defeated
or there's a mutually beneficial relationship where newsom is the villain-of-the-week, the scapegoat that all blame can be placed on. The representatives can have their cake and eat it, they can vote like a progressive and never risk actually passing any progressive reforms. Win-win.
Optics. It's valuable to be seen supporting something that you don't support, but a material proportion of your constituents do. And you're comfortable supporting it because you know isn't going to get signed. Politicians do this sort of thing all the time. Gives them the opportunity to tell voters "Hey, we tried, we just didn't win this time. Also... need more money."
