MODERATORS
I missed that one.
Lawmakers can override a governor’s veto with a two-thirds vote, but they have not tried in decades.
. . .the governor vetoed Wiener's Senate Bill 90, which caps the cost of insulin at $35 per month. The bill had previously passed the Assembly 79-0 and passed the Senate on 39-0.
This is perfect 
Democrat behavior, where they get to be on record for supporting something but still make sure it never happens. A supermajority where nothing can happen because the governorship is inevitably a spot to put someone who wants to run for President. The most Blue MAGA state in the country.

Why is the governor even able to veto something that passed with a veto-proof majority? Sorry pal you already lost.
Of the 66 bills vetoed by Newsom, all but 10 passed both houses by a two-thirds vote or more — the same threshold needed for a veto override but unlikely to spark such action when the Legislature reconvenes in January.
Perhaps the votes only passed that hard because the congress was confident he would veto it anyway. If the rules changed, so would the votes, probably. Or maybe it would have not even made it to a vote.
also vetoed decriminalizing psilocybin
Just when I was starting to come around to him. Liberals are a curse
strikes again
This is harm reduction babe, deal with it
Thanks I fuckin hate it
harm reduction tho
So this means he's going to run for president right?
Oh and he also vetoed a bill that would make it mandatory for hearing aids to be included for children's health insurance coverage, the fucking tool.
Our liberal hero strikes again.
Gruesome Newsom on quite the streak. Still, one has to wonder if these bills only ever made it to his desk on the condition he would veto them, to tease people into 
harder mentality.
Maybe I'm wrong about that, but it does seem awfully convenient to legitimize a system that a passive observer would consider "working, but just one person ruined it" (if one person can fuck the whole thing, how is that viable?)
On the other hand, what's up with all the California dems sending all these cool bills across his desk? CA dems can't be happy about.
Edit: checked some CA subreddits and the general vibe ranges from "I guess the issue is more nuanced" to, "this asshole wants to be president".
"this asshole wants to be president"
Someone has to be especially ghoulish if they aspire to be the central figurehead of the empire. 
It’s easy to enthusiastically support good things when you know full well there’s zero chance of it actually happening
He's just such an obvious amalgam of carcetti from the wire and the smiler
The caste system thing, you can argue that it's already covered by the existing protections and the inclusion of caste is duplicative. I can be convinced otherwise, it's just be my dumb STEM brain thinking we don't have to enumerate every type of discrimination, it should be obvious that it's illegal and should be stopped.
The other stuff, no excuses.
If it's already covered, then you pass the bill, because it doesn't do anything. This is Newsome trying to cozy up to the brahmin money.
True
It also has the benefit of making it clear that it won’t be tolerated. Reiterating is worthwhile, and from the stories my tech friends have told it’s necessary.
Have my job, mack 
His personal history is going to lead to a situation of Don Jr’s girlfriend talking about Newsom’s dick on TV, isn’t it
Another day, another banger
