Governor Gavin Newsom used his veto pen over the weekend to ax legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state.

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.

    I think it’s different than vetoing a bill because he hates the Trans community. That’s what this headline implies, and people are going right along with it.

    there is no circumstance where I would elect a president who has no interest in ceding authority back to a legislature after this administration’s shitshow.

    This sounds like setting wildly unrealistic expectations about who is acceptable to vote for.
