Speaking of Gavin Newsom

He just vetoed a bill giving unemployment benefits to strikers.

He also vetoed a bill giving California OSHA jurisdiction for domestic workers.

Gov. Gavin Newsom dealt a blow to California labor by vetoing bills that would have given unemployment checks to striking workers and workplace protections to domestic employees.

The governor on Saturday night vetoed Senate Bill 799, which would have made workers on strike for 14 days eligible for unemployment benefits.

He also vetoed Senate Bill 686, which would have brought domestic workers under the umbrella of Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) protections.

Over the past few weeks, Newsom has vetoed a bill requiring safety drivers for autonomous trucks, a transgender child custody bill which instructed judges to take into account a parent's support for their child's gender identity, a bill regulating jail and prison coordination with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and limitations on the use of solitary confinement. (and that is just this session)

But he's a progressive because ……… He's from San Francisco?

Not a fan.
