Newsom also signed 13 abortion protection and reproductive health bills Tuesday, as well as legislation aimed to better identify gender- and race-based pay disparities.

legislature which is concerned about the welfare of it's constituents and passes bills to further the common good on to the governor/president to sign?

And we should absolutely note that it's not a coincidence that both the majority legislature and executive are all members of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, the party that is there to get things done, not to just obstruct, block, suppress voters, deny election losses, cut taxes for the wealthy and snatch back rights from women.

Funny how that hap...no, wait. It's not funny how that happens, it's what happens when you have a governing party that's all about the welfare of people and not about the opposite, which is just what the republican party does.
