SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom spent the summer campaigning to keep his job and, with a landslide victory in hand, he’s continued pushing progressive California further left.
In the four weeks after beating back a recall attempt, the Democrat signed laws that require gender-neutral displays of children’s toys and toothbrushes in large department stores, made it illegal to remove a condom without consent during intercourse and cleared the way for a nation’s first ban on the sale of new gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers.
He also made it illegal to film someone near an abortion clinic for the purpose of intimidation, banned secret employment settlements involving harassment or discrimination and limited the use of rubber bullets by police during protests. He even prohibited restaurants from handing out ketchup packets and other disposable condiments unless customers ask for them.
If this had been a normal non-election year, Newsom might have been more cautious heading into his 2022 re-election campaign. But in early September, just three days into the 30-day period the governor has to review legislation, Newsom convincingly beat back the Republican-led effort to oust him.
Just three days after that election, Newsom signed two laws aimed at limiting single-family zoning in California, a stark change for a state with many communities that define suburban sprawl but now faces an affordable housing shortage.

So glad to be done with Cali.
This is what they voted for, let them enjoy it.
How does that law on condoms get enforced?
“Good and hard,” as the saying goes.
I don’t understand why “removing a condom” is a step too far in
but knowingly, deceptively, exposing or infecting a partner with hiv is no big deal now in CA and, perhaps, federally under Biden
It’ll be he said, he/she said.
This was my big issue...I'm so glad CA state government has involved themselves into regulating what private businesses provide their patrons. Good gawd!~
Enforcement will give the illegals something to do.
They are at least experts on something.
Got to wonder if it applies equally to the penetrator and the penetrated.
Don't be fooled, this legislation authorized the CARB to ban ALL spark-ignition motors under 25HP.
Not just leaf blowers and lawn mowers. Go-karts, dirt bikes, lawn tractors, generators, outboard motors, etc.
ANYTHING under 25HP.
Isn’t it nice to know that in nearly all human activities, even sex and having lunch, the State of California is there to help?
“How does that law on condoms get enforced?”
Rigidly.
Sorry, you set it up.
Just when you thought it couldn’t be a more putrid toilet.
California , The Land of Stupid Laws
Condom Police. They're hiring.
Some of the frogs are starting to feel the heat but the majority haven’t noticed.
With corrupt elections are now the norm, how do you know they voted for any of this, I concede that plenty there did but I sincerely question whether the majority did.
