His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>With California expecting another year of record state revenues, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday unveiled a spending plan that would make deep investments into containing the current COVID-19 surge, expanding health care access, shoring up drought response and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11899691/gov-newsom-boosts-efforts-to-combat-organized-retail-theft-in-california\">fighting organized retail crime\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $286.4 billion proposal is aimed at tackling what Newsom’s administration deems California’s “most existential threats”: COVID-19, climate change, homelessness, inequality and public safety. With midterm elections and the governor’s reelection campaign looming this fall, however, those challenges also pose clear political threats to the national Democratic establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Gov. Gavin Newsom\"]‘[We] continue to do what we can to fight this latest surge.’[/pullquote]His budget seems aimed at getting ahead of some of that. Newsom is asking lawmakers to spend an extra $1.4 billion immediately on pandemic response measures — a proposal that comes as the state faces down its third year of addressing the pandemic even as COVID-19 cases surge to record levels, causing major disruptions in schools and hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor wants the state to earmark $2.7 billion in additional money over the next 18 months \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/01/08/governor-newsom-announces-new-2-7-billion-covid-19-emergency-response-package/\">for increased testing, vaccination campaigns and support for hospitals and health care workers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal this year is to do more in testing and those vaccine boosters,” he said. “[We] continue to do what we can to fight this latest surge, in issues related to staffing of frontline workers in our hospitals, and dealing with this incredible stress and strain that so many in our system are facing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also praised “the individuals that show up every single day for work against just extraordinary, extraordinary circumstances.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With at least $45 billion more in expected revenue than had been forecast by state officials last year — a number that could climb even higher over the coming months — Newsom also wants to expand health care access to all Californians, regardless of immigration status.

"content": "\u003cp>Nearly all of California's roughly 2.5 million frontline health care workers must receive a COVID-19 booster shot by Feb. 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday, a measure he said would help prepare hospitals across the state for a surge in new cases brought on by the omicron variant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a press briefing at the Native American Health Center in Oakland, Newsom said it was imperative for health care workers to be fully protected against the new highly infectious variant and prevent further staffing shortages due to illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize now just being fully vaccinated is not enough with this new variant,” Newsom said, noting that “well north of 50%” of new cases in California are the omicron variant — now the dominant variant in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe it’s important to extend this requirement to getting that third dose, to getting boosted,” he added. “I think it is a smart move, a wise move in this context that we need to make sure we don’t have staffing shortages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the previous vaccine mandate, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Governor-Newsom-Announces-New-Actions-to-Protect-Californians-from-COVID-19.pdf\">the new requirement\u003c/a> applies to health care workers at hospitals and doctor’s offices, home health workers, and those working in skilled nursing facilities and other congregate care settings, hospice centers and dialysis centers. Those who are not boosted will have to get tested twice weekly until they receive the third jab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also this week, two of the nation's largest public university systems — \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-22/cal-state-mandates-covid-19-boosters-amid-worsening-omicron\">California State University and the University of California\u003c/a> — announced students on campus must have a booster shot for the spring semester.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"booster-shots\"]Additionally, the governor said California would provide up to two free rapid COVID-19 tests for each of the state's more than 6.1 million public K-12 students to take before returning to school in January. Hours will also be extended at the state's nearly 6,300 state-run testing centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said booster shots provide more protection against omicron, and was encouraged that more than 8.8 million Californians had gotten one so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to increase that number if we're going to hold the line and decrease the growth for hospitals,” he said\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, Newsom said, is doing a lot better than most states in terms of the virus' spread, with a 3.3% positivity rate — the lowest in the country — and 13.6 new cases for every 100,000 people over the last seven days, the sixth-lowest rate in the country. It also has one of the lowest death rates per capita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he cautioned, with cases again on the rise again, albeit at a rate much slower than last winter, “we can’t take anything for granted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also requires other groups to either be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing, including state workers and, eventually, teachers and students. But Newsom said Wednesday there is no plan to require those other groups to get a booster shot — although he urged everyone eligible who hasn’t gotten one yet to schedule an appointment on the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://myturn.ca.gov\">My Turn\u003c/a> site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, however, said rules about booster shots could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully we won't have to consider that if all of our interventions are successful,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already requires health care workers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, a directive that took effect in September, and one that most workers have complied with. Thousands of holdouts, though, have either lost their jobs or been suspended, sparking concerns that the newest rule could further exacerbate staffing shortages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Hospital Association, however, was quick to back the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we don't yet know enough about omicron to determine its precise impact on the need for hospital care, we do know that booster shots offer an additional layer of protection — something that will be vital to ensuring care for all in need as California and the nation as a whole continue to face a persistent shortage of health care workers,” California Hospital Association President and CEO Carmela Coyle said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who in March 2020 imposed the nation’s first statewide shutdown order, initially announced this latest mandate — among the first of its kind in the country — \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1473471786423504898\">on his personal Twitter account on Tuesday evening\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It comes as coronavirus-related hospitalizations have been rising slowly in California. As of Tuesday, there were 3,589 coronavirus patients hospitalized across the state, a 12% increase since Dec. 1. But that's far less than the peak of last winter's surge, when the state had nearly 22,000 coronavirus patients before vaccines were widely available. Now, more than 70% of the state's nearly 40 million residents have been fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while hospitals overall have fewer patients than last winter, many have fewer workers to treat the patients they do have. The staffing shortage comes as businesses, including hospitals, are having trouble finding workers. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2021/09/421366/california-faces-short-term-nursing-shortage-covid-19-retirements\">A recent UCSF study\u003c/a> estimated the state’s nursing shortage could persist until 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The staffing shortages we are experiencing are worse than ever,” Kiyomi Burchill, group vice president for policy for the California Hospital Association, said in an interview Tuesday before Newsom made his announcement about booster shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is poised for a surge in new infections amid holiday parties and family gatherings forced indoors by a series of winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts say the nation's most populous state is likely to avoid the worst scenario — spikes in hospitalizations and deaths — because most Californians have either been vaccinated or already been infected. That gives a higher level of protection against the omicron variant that, while not guaranteeing people won't get sick, means they are less likely to need to go to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's a highly transmissible respiratory virus and people are going to get it. And they are going to get it every winter,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of infectious diseases at UCSF. “We have to go toward measuring our true success with a disease, which is how we're doing with hospitalizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much about omicron remains unknown. Scientists say it spreads more easily than other coronavirus strains, including delta, and, in initial studies, appears to generally cause less severe illness. Early research suggests those who are fully vaccinated will need a booster shot for the best chance at preventing infection, but even without the extra dose, vaccination should still offer strong protection against severe illness and death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calcat.covid19.ca.gov/cacovidmodels/\">Computer models\u003c/a> used by state officials to forecast the virus say hospitalizations will stay steady through the holidays and dip slightly in mid-January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm on the fence a little bit about how horrible this is,” said Dr. Brad Pollock, associate dean for public health sciences at UC Davis School of Medicine. “We’re going to have more people infected because of the more transmissible variant. It may be a little less virulent, which means it causes less symptoms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]Last week, Newsom, warning that cases would likely rise, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11898949/california-brings-back-temporary-statewide-indoor-mask-mandate-as-omicron-cases-rise\">reimposed a rule\u003c/a> requiring residents in most counties to wear masks at public indoor gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health says people who are not vaccinated are seven times more likely to get infected, nearly 13 times more likely to be hospitalized and nearly 16 times more likely to die from the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Places in California with lower vaccination rates, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.pe.com/2021/12/20/covid-19-hospitalizations-rise-30-in-two-weeks-in-riverside-county-hitting-317/\">Riverside\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sbsun.com/2021/12/20/covid-19-hospitalizations-top-400-in-san-bernardino-county-most-since-late-september/\">San Bernardino\u003c/a> counties, have seen recent jumps in hospitalizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is there are counties in California, particularly in central California and eastern California, where they have had neither high vaccination coverage or a lot of prior infections,” said Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. “We can expect in those communities that there may be an increase in hospitalizations for people at high risk for severe consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from KQED's Spencer Whitney and Matthew Green, as well as Adam Beam of The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday, a measure he said would help prepare hospitals across the state for a surge in new cases brought on by the omicron variant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a press briefing at the Native American Health Center in Oakland, Newsom said it was imperative for health care workers to be fully protected against the new highly infectious variant and prevent further staffing shortages due to illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize now just being fully vaccinated is not enough with this new variant,” Newsom said, noting that “well north of 50%” of new cases in California are the omicron variant — now the dominant variant in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe it’s important to extend this requirement to getting that third dose, to getting boosted,” he added. “I think it is a smart move, a wise move in this context that we need to make sure we don’t have staffing shortages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the previous vaccine mandate, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Governor-Newsom-Announces-New-Actions-to-Protect-Californians-from-COVID-19.pdf\">the new requirement\u003c/a> applies to health care workers at hospitals and doctor’s offices, home health workers, and those working in skilled nursing facilities and other congregate care settings, hospice centers and dialysis centers. Those who are not boosted will have to get tested twice weekly until they receive the third jab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also this week, two of the nation's largest public university systems — \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-22/cal-state-mandates-covid-19-boosters-amid-worsening-omicron\">California State University and the University of California\u003c/a> — announced students on campus must have a booster shot for the spring semester.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hours will also be extended at the state's nearly 6,300 state-run testing centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said booster shots provide more protection against omicron, and was encouraged that more than 8.8 million Californians had gotten one so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to increase that number if we're going to hold the line and decrease the growth for hospitals,” he said\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, Newsom said, is doing a lot better than most states in terms of the virus' spread, with a 3.3% positivity rate — the lowest in the country — and 13.6 new cases for every 100,000 people over the last seven days, the sixth-lowest rate in the country. It also has one of the lowest death rates per capita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he cautioned, with cases again on the rise again, albeit at a rate much slower than last winter, “we can’t take anything for granted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also requires other groups to either be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing, including state workers and, eventually, teachers and students. But Newsom said Wednesday there is no plan to require those other groups to get a booster shot — although he urged everyone eligible who hasn’t gotten one yet to schedule an appointment on the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://myturn.ca.gov\">My Turn\u003c/a> site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, however, said rules about booster shots could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully we won't have to consider that if all of our interventions are successful,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already requires health care workers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, a directive that took effect in September, and one that most workers have complied with. Thousands of holdouts, though, have either lost their jobs or been suspended, sparking concerns that the newest rule could further exacerbate staffing shortages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Hospital Association, however, was quick to back the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we don't yet know enough about omicron to determine its precise impact on the need for hospital care, we do know that booster shots offer an additional layer of protection — something that will be vital to ensuring care for all in need as California and the nation as a whole continue to face a persistent shortage of health care workers,” California Hospital Association President and CEO Carmela Coyle said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who in March 2020 imposed the nation’s first statewide shutdown order, initially announced this latest mandate — among the first of its kind in the country — \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1473471786423504898\">on his personal Twitter account on Tuesday evening\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It comes as coronavirus-related hospitalizations have been rising slowly in California. As of Tuesday, there were 3,589 coronavirus patients hospitalized across the state, a 12% increase since Dec. 1. But that's far less than the peak of last winter's surge, when the state had nearly 22,000 coronavirus patients before vaccines were widely available. Now, more than 70% of the state's nearly 40 million residents have been fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while hospitals overall have fewer patients than last winter, many have fewer workers to treat the patients they do have. The staffing shortage comes as businesses, including hospitals, are having trouble finding workers. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2021/09/421366/california-faces-short-term-nursing-shortage-covid-19-retirements\">A recent UCSF study\u003c/a> estimated the state’s nursing shortage could persist until 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The staffing shortages we are experiencing are worse than ever,” Kiyomi Burchill, group vice president for policy for the California Hospital Association, said in an interview Tuesday before Newsom made his announcement about booster shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is poised for a surge in new infections amid holiday parties and family gatherings forced indoors by a series of winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts say the nation's most populous state is likely to avoid the worst scenario — spikes in hospitalizations and deaths — because most Californians have either been vaccinated or already been infected. That gives a higher level of protection against the omicron variant that, while not guaranteeing people won't get sick, means they are less likely to need to go to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's a highly transmissible respiratory virus and people are going to get it. And they are going to get it every winter,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of infectious diseases at UCSF. “We have to go toward measuring our true success with a disease, which is how we're doing with hospitalizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much about omicron remains unknown. Scientists say it spreads more easily than other coronavirus strains, including delta, and, in initial studies, appears to generally cause less severe illness. Early research suggests those who are fully vaccinated will need a booster shot for the best chance at preventing infection, but even without the extra dose, vaccination should still offer strong protection against severe illness and death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calcat.covid19.ca.gov/cacovidmodels/\">Computer models\u003c/a> used by state officials to forecast the virus say hospitalizations will stay steady through the holidays and dip slightly in mid-January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm on the fence a little bit about how horrible this is,” said Dr. Brad Pollock, associate dean for public health sciences at UC Davis School of Medicine. “We’re going to have more people infected because of the more transmissible variant. It may be a little less virulent, which means it causes less symptoms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So I’m going to go ahead and pass a law that protects X, Y or Z,” Levinson added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Newsom’s staff seemed caught off guard by the Saturday night policy pronouncement. There was no evidence of the kind of staff work and research that often goes into a major new policy before it’s released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although California has some of the toughest gun laws on the books, the state has had more than its share of mass shootings in recent years. There have been shooting sprees at a synagogue in Poway, near the UC Santa Barbara campus, at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy and most recently at the Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority where a disgruntled employee \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11875404/official-multiple-people-killed-in-shooting-at-san-jose-vta-railyard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shot and killed nine people\u003c/a> before turning the gun on himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crimes like those and gun violence in general are often carried out with weapons banned in California. One of the people working to create the legislation Gov. Newsom wants is California Attorney General Rob Bonta. His legal strategy is based on the anti-abortion law in Texas that allows lawsuits against anyone who provides or aids in an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally private individuals could provide a force multiplier to support our common sense gun safety laws to make more people safe and save more lives,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area attorney Travis Silva, who is working with the office of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin to sue makers of ghost guns, thinks Newsom’s idea is spot on. He says ghost guns are quickly proliferating and make up a large portion of guns recovered by law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t conduct background checks. They don’t ensure that there’s a serial number on the firearm, and they don’t verify that the person who is purchasing the ghost gun is eligible to obtain a firearm,” Silva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These companies are circumventing those requirements and they’re doing it openly, and notoriously. Targeting these companies and their practices is appropriate. It’s appropriate to have a legislative response to that kind of business practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some supporters of the Texas law worried in briefs filed with the Supreme Court that this legal framework could backfire, said Sarah Parshall Perry with the Heritage Foundation in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there are conservatives who are concerned that there is going to be sort of a copycat effort,” Perry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the Supreme Court is giving a road map to challenge all kinds of rights by blocking off federal courts as a way to challenge state officials who implement the laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Particularly disfavored constitutional rights, whether that’s freedom of speech, freedom of religion or the Second Amendment,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others would add the right of same sex couples to marry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Assemblyman Mike Gipson, a former cop from Los Angeles, has authored legislation against ghost guns. He’s eager to carry Gov. Newsom’s latest gun control idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is unique and other states follow California, and we hope that they will follow this lead, once it gets on the governor’s desk and signed into law,” Gipson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there’s a long way between an idea and a law, especially a controversial one like this that challenges a right enshrined in the Second Amendment. That said, it seems to be a fight Governor Newsom would relish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

So I’m going to go ahead and pass a law that protects X, Y or Z,” Levinson added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Newsom’s staff seemed caught off guard by the Saturday night policy pronouncement. There was no evidence of the kind of staff work and research that often goes into a major new policy before it’s released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although California has some of the toughest gun laws on the books, the state has had more than its share of mass shootings in recent years. There have been shooting sprees at a synagogue in Poway, near the UC Santa Barbara campus, at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy and most recently at the Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority where a disgruntled employee \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11875404/official-multiple-people-killed-in-shooting-at-san-jose-vta-railyard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shot and killed nine people\u003c/a> before turning the gun on himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crimes like those and gun violence in general are often carried out with weapons banned in California. One of the people working to create the legislation Gov. Newsom wants is California Attorney General Rob Bonta. His legal strategy is based on the anti-abortion law in Texas that allows lawsuits against anyone who provides or aids in an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Generally private individuals could provide a force multiplier to support our common sense gun safety laws to make more people safe and save more lives,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area attorney Travis Silva, who is working with the office of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin to sue makers of ghost guns, thinks Newsom’s idea is spot on. He says ghost guns are quickly proliferating and make up a large portion of guns recovered by law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t conduct background checks. They don’t ensure that there’s a serial number on the firearm, and they don’t verify that the person who is purchasing the ghost gun is eligible to obtain a firearm,” Silva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These companies are circumventing those requirements and they’re doing it openly, and notoriously. Targeting these companies and their practices is appropriate. It’s appropriate to have a legislative response to that kind of business practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some supporters of the Texas law worried in briefs filed with the Supreme Court that this legal framework could backfire, said Sarah Parshall Perry with the Heritage Foundation in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there are conservatives who are concerned that there is going to be sort of a copycat effort,” Perry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the Supreme Court is giving a road map to challenge all kinds of rights by blocking off federal courts as a way to challenge state officials who implement the laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Particularly disfavored constitutional rights, whether that’s freedom of speech, freedom of religion or the Second Amendment,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others would add the right of same sex couples to marry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Assemblyman Mike Gipson, a former cop from Los Angeles, has authored legislation against ghost guns. He’s eager to carry Gov. Newsom’s latest gun control idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is unique and other states follow California, and we hope that they will follow this lead, once it gets on the governor’s desk and signed into law,” Gipson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there’s a long way between an idea and a law, especially a controversial one like this that challenges a right enshrined in the Second Amendment. That said, it seems to be a fight Governor Newsom would relish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Starting Wednesday, California is bringing back a rule requiring everyone — vaccinated or unvaccinated — to wear a mask indoors, a move aimed at containing the new highly infectious omicron variant of the coronavirus as people gather with family and friends during the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new mandate will last until Jan. 15, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration announced Monday. The order comes as the per capita rate of new COVID-19 cases in California \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/state-dashboard/#todays-update\">has jumped 47% in the past two weeks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know people are tired and hungry for normalcy. Frankly, I am, too,” California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said Monday. “That said, this is a critical time where we have a tool that we know has worked and can work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghaly noted that \u003cspan data-pm-slice='1 1 [\"paragraph-wrapper\",{},\"paragraph\",{\"id\":\"p0-0\"}]'>even a 10% increase in indoor masking can reduce case transmission significantly and encouraged better ventilation indoors.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lifted its statewide mask mandate for vaccinated people on June 15, a date Newsom heralded as the state's grand reopening. But since then, a number of county governments representing about half the state's population — including most of the Bay Area — have imposed their own indoor mask mandates as case rates surged with new variants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even in a number those counties, the new state mandate will temporarily roll back rules in certain settings where mask requirements have largely been lifted, including most offices where everyone is vaccinated in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa counties, and most public settings in Marin County, where vaccination rates are among the highest in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new mask mandate will cover people everywhere else in the state, but state officials on Monday were unclear about how it would be enforced. Ghaly said enforcement would likely be stronger in some places than others, but he urged Californians to heed the warnings and wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that there's going to be people who don't necessarily agree with this, who are tired, who aren't going to mask,” Ghaly said. “We hope that those are few and far between, that most people see the purpose of doing this over the next month as something to protect them and their communities during a very tough time.”[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"covid-19\"]California also is tightening existing testing requirements by ordering unvaccinated people attending indoor events of 1,000 people or more to have a negative test taken within the past one or two days, depending on the type of test. Additionally, the state is recommending travelers who visit or return to California to get tested within five days of their arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the start of the pandemic some 20 months ago, the governor has issued a slew of coronavirus-related mandates, including requiring \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/government-and-politics-health-california-coronavirus-pandemic-c2c3dbfcf66e41ef77f3f0dbb15ca12f\">state employees\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-health-california-coronavirus-pandemic-cf83723c62ef658c9f5837beb9f85910\">health care workers\u003c/a> and now \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-education-california-gavin-newsom-575ef3be2c5c2600664fa48c08041abd\">public school students and teachers\u003c/a> to be vaccinated. Newsom's authority to do so exists under the emergency declaration he issued at the beginning of the pandemic, one that will remain in place until either he lifts it or the state Legislature votes to end it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Assemblymember Kevin Kiley, a Republican representing the Sacramento suburbs who ran against Newsom for governor during an unsuccessful recall election earlier this year, has routinely tried and failed to get the Democratic-dominated Legislature to end the state’s emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that people are incredibly frustrated with this notion that these choices should be made by one person rather than in the way that our country and state are supposed to work, which is all of us together having a say and having the freedom to make choices for ourselves,” Kiley said. “Gavin Newsom is taking actions that go far beyond what any other governor or any other state has done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California joins other states with similar indoor mask mandates, including Washington, Oregon, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii and New York. But other Democratic governors have resisted new restrictions, including Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado, who told \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpr.org/2021/12/10/interview-gov-jared-polis-mask-mandates-covid/\">Colorado Public Radio\u003c/a> last week that “the emergency is over” and “public health [officials] don’t get to tell people what to wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials are afraid of a repeat of last winter, when the state averaged more than 100 cases per 100,000 people during a monster winter surge of the virus, and nearly 20,000 people died over eight weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that surge was before vaccines were available. Today, more than 70% of California's residents who are eligible have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Even with the recent increase in cases, the state is averaging a little more than 14 cases per day per 100,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Ghaly said hospitals in several counties with low vaccination rates are still struggling with lots of patients; those counties include Riverside, San Bernardino, Mono and Inyo. And, he warned, coronavirus hospitalizations often increase in the weeks following a jump in new cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are proactively putting this tool of universal indoor masking in public settings in place to ensure we get through a time of joy and hope without a darker cloud of concern and despair,” Ghaly said. “Californians have done this before, and we of course believe we can do it again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom’s administration announced Monday. The order comes as the per capita rate of new COVID-19 cases in California \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/state-dashboard/#todays-update\">has jumped 47% in the past two weeks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know people are tired and hungry for normalcy. Frankly, I am, too,” California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said Monday. “That said, this is a critical time where we have a tool that we know has worked and can work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghaly noted that \u003cspan data-pm-slice='1 1 [\"paragraph-wrapper\",{},\"paragraph\",{\"id\":\"p0-0\"}]'>even a 10% increase in indoor masking can reduce case transmission significantly and encouraged better ventilation indoors.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lifted its statewide mask mandate for vaccinated people on June 15, a date Newsom heralded as the state's grand reopening. But since then, a number of county governments representing about half the state's population — including most of the Bay Area — have imposed their own indoor mask mandates as case rates surged with new variants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even in a number those counties, the new state mandate will temporarily roll back rules in certain settings where mask requirements have largely been lifted, including most offices where everyone is vaccinated in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa counties, and most public settings in Marin County, where vaccination rates are among the highest in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new mask mandate will cover people everywhere else in the state, but state officials on Monday were unclear about how it would be enforced. Ghaly said enforcement would likely be stronger in some places than others, but he urged Californians to heed the warnings and wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that there's going to be people who don't necessarily agree with this, who are tired, who aren't going to mask,” Ghaly said. “We hope that those are few and far between, that most people see the purpose of doing this over the next month as something to protect them and their communities during a very tough time.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Additionally, the state is recommending travelers who visit or return to California to get tested within five days of their arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the start of the pandemic some 20 months ago, the governor has issued a slew of coronavirus-related mandates, including requiring \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/government-and-politics-health-california-coronavirus-pandemic-c2c3dbfcf66e41ef77f3f0dbb15ca12f\">state employees\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-health-california-coronavirus-pandemic-cf83723c62ef658c9f5837beb9f85910\">health care workers\u003c/a> and now \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-education-california-gavin-newsom-575ef3be2c5c2600664fa48c08041abd\">public school students and teachers\u003c/a> to be vaccinated. Newsom's authority to do so exists under the emergency declaration he issued at the beginning of the pandemic, one that will remain in place until either he lifts it or the state Legislature votes to end it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Assemblymember Kevin Kiley, a Republican representing the Sacramento suburbs who ran against Newsom for governor during an unsuccessful recall election earlier this year, has routinely tried and failed to get the Democratic-dominated Legislature to end the state’s emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that people are incredibly frustrated with this notion that these choices should be made by one person rather than in the way that our country and state are supposed to work, which is all of us together having a say and having the freedom to make choices for ourselves,” Kiley said. “Gavin Newsom is taking actions that go far beyond what any other governor or any other state has done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California joins other states with similar indoor mask mandates, including Washington, Oregon, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii and New York. But other Democratic governors have resisted new restrictions, including Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado, who told \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpr.org/2021/12/10/interview-gov-jared-polis-mask-mandates-covid/\">Colorado Public Radio\u003c/a> last week that “the emergency is over” and “public health [officials] don’t get to tell people what to wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials are afraid of a repeat of last winter, when the state averaged more than 100 cases per 100,000 people during a monster winter surge of the virus, and nearly 20,000 people died over eight weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that surge was before vaccines were available. Today, more than 70% of California's residents who are eligible have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Even with the recent increase in cases, the state is averaging a little more than 14 cases per day per 100,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Ghaly said hospitals in several counties with low vaccination rates are still struggling with lots of patients; those counties include Riverside, San Bernardino, Mono and Inyo. And, he warned, coronavirus hospitalizations often increase in the weeks following a jump in new cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are proactively putting this tool of universal indoor masking in public settings in place to ensure we get through a time of joy and hope without a darker cloud of concern and despair,” Ghaly said. “Californians have done this before, and we of course believe we can do it again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday pledged to empower private citizens to enforce a ban on the manufacture and sale of assault weapons in the state, citing the same authority claimed by conservative lawmakers in Texas to outlaw most abortions once a heartbeat is detected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California had banned the manufacture and sale of many assault-style weapons for decades. But in June a federal district judge overturned that ban, ruling it unconstitutional and drawing the ire of the state’s Democratic leaders by comparing the popular AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army knife as “good for both home and battle.” The ban remained in place while the state appealed, and in November, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-11-30/9th-circuit-upholds-key-california-gun-control-law\">a federal appeals court upheld California’s restrictions\u003c/a>, scrapping the lower court’s ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers in Texas this year passed a law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which normally occurs at about six weeks into pregnancy. The Texas law allows private citizens to enforce the ban, empowering them to sue abortion clinics and anyone else who “aids and abets” with the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Texas law to remain in effect while abortion clinics sue to block it. That decision incensed Newsom, a Democrat who supports abortion rights.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Gov. Gavin Newsom\"]'If the most efficient way to keep these devastating weapons off our streets is to add the threat of private lawsuits, we should do just that.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If states can now shield their laws from review by the federal courts that compare assault weapons to Swiss Army knives, then California will use that authority to protect people’s lives, where Texas used it to put women in harm’s way,” Newsom said in a statement released by his office on Saturday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he has directed his staff to work with the state’s Legislature and its Democratic attorney general to pass a law that would let private citizens sue to enforce California’s ban on assault weapons. Newsom said people who sue could win up to $10,000 per violation plus other costs and attorneys fees against “anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon” in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the most efficient way to keep these devastating weapons off our streets is to add the threat of private lawsuits, we should do just that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1469865185493983234\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law professors speaking with KQED said Newsom's gambit is risky, and cautioned that the Supreme Court, with its conservative bent, may not be as receptive to California's approach as they were to the one implemented in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are different because the Supreme Court's going to view them as different,\" said Jessica Levinson, a law professor and director of Loyola Law School's Public Service Institute in Los Angeles. \"They'll find some way to distinguish the two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rory Little, a professor at UC Hastings Law in San Francisco, said the Supreme Court's decision to not strike down the Texas statute was an \"outrageous\" move that may ultimately encourage other states to similarly pass laws allowing citizens to sue to stop other practices they might politically disagree with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's strategy, while \"understandable,\" Little said, may be the beginning of something bigger and, perhaps, chaotic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Pandora opened the box, all these terrible diseases poured out and infected the world,\" Little said. \"I don't think any of us want to see a world where every state can arm all of its citizens with private lawsuits to enforce whatever right the state feels like should be enforced. I mean, first, it'll flood the courts with lawsuits, presumably. And second, it's not the way we have traditionally tried to enforce the law in this country. Traditionally, we have relied on the government to enforce the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's proposal is already winning approval among some California Democrats. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11898323/wheres-the-anger-oakland-family-reels-from-death-of-beloved-teen-amid-rise-in-gun-violence\">whose city is seeing a surge in homicides this year\u003c/a>, voiced her support Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I applaud Gov. Newsom for adding the threat of private lawsuits to help take illegal assault weapons and ghost guns off our streets,\" Schaaf said, in a statement. \"We must continue to do all we can to prevent the devastating loss and trauma of gun violence in our beloved communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal fight over the Texas abortion law has focused on its unusual structure and whether it improperly limits how the law can be challenged in court. Texas lawmakers handed responsibility for enforcing the law to private citizens, rather than to state officials.[aside postID=\"news_11897702,news_11876940,news_11898640\" label=\"Related Posts\"]The case raised a complex set of issues about who, if anyone, can sue over the law in federal court, the typical route for challenges to abortion restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s gun proposal would first have to pass California’s Legislature before it could become law. The Legislature is not in session now and is scheduled to reconvene in January. It usually takes about eight months for new bills to pass, barring special circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Brian Dahle, a Republican from Bieber, would oppose the plan but predicted it would probably pass California’s Democratic-dominated Legislature. He said the proposal was most likely a stunt for Newsom to win favor with his progressive base of voters ahead of a possible run for president in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to bear arms is different than the right to have an abortion,\" said Dahle. \"The right to have an abortion is not a constitutional amendment. So I think he’s way off base. I think he’s just using it as an opportunity to grandstand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom’s Saturday night declaration is a fulfilled prophecy for some gun rights groups who had predicted progressive states would attempt to use Texas's abortion law to restrict access to guns. That’s why the Firearms Policy Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for gun rights, filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court opposing the Texas law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Texas succeeds in its gambit here, New York, California, New Jersey, and others will not be far behind in adopting equally aggressive gambits to not merely chill but to freeze the right to keep and bear arms,” attorney Erik Jaffe wrote on behalf of the coalition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat representing San Francisco and parts of San Mateo County, would not say whether he supported Newsom's proposed law, he did note it would prompt a much-needed national debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Texas law is horrific, and it was just reprehensible that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed this law to remain in effect. So I want to see the Texas law and anything like it just disappear. But it's happening, unfortunately,\" Wiener said. \"Gov. Newsom is calling [into] question the slippery slope Texas and the Supreme Court have created by moving in this direction. And so it's a really important conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman contributed to this report, as did Associated Press reporter Adam Beam.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom on Saturday pledged to empower private citizens to enforce a ban on the manufacture and sale of assault weapons in the state, citing the same authority claimed by conservative lawmakers in Texas to outlaw most abortions once a heartbeat is detected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California had banned the manufacture and sale of many assault-style weapons for decades. But in June a federal district judge overturned that ban, ruling it unconstitutional and drawing the ire of the state’s Democratic leaders by comparing the popular AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army knife as “good for both home and battle.” The ban remained in place while the state appealed, and in November, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-11-30/9th-circuit-upholds-key-california-gun-control-law\">a federal appeals court upheld California’s restrictions\u003c/a>, scrapping the lower court’s ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers in Texas this year passed a law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which normally occurs at about six weeks into pregnancy. The Texas law allows private citizens to enforce the ban, empowering them to sue abortion clinics and anyone else who “aids and abets” with the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Texas law to remain in effect while abortion clinics sue to block it. That decision incensed Newsom, a Democrat who supports abortion rights.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsom said people who sue could win up to $10,000 per violation plus other costs and attorneys fees against “anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon” in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the most efficient way to keep these devastating weapons off our streets is to add the threat of private lawsuits, we should do just that,” he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I mean, first, it'll flood the courts with lawsuits, presumably. And second, it's not the way we have traditionally tried to enforce the law in this country. Traditionally, we have relied on the government to enforce the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's proposal is already winning approval among some California Democrats. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11898323/wheres-the-anger-oakland-family-reels-from-death-of-beloved-teen-amid-rise-in-gun-violence\">whose city is seeing a surge in homicides this year\u003c/a>, voiced her support Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I applaud Gov. Newsom for adding the threat of private lawsuits to help take illegal assault weapons and ghost guns off our streets,\" Schaaf said, in a statement. \"We must continue to do all we can to prevent the devastating loss and trauma of gun violence in our beloved communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal fight over the Texas abortion law has focused on its unusual structure and whether it improperly limits how the law can be challenged in court. Texas lawmakers handed responsibility for enforcing the law to private citizens, rather than to state officials.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Legislature is not in session now and is scheduled to reconvene in January. It usually takes about eight months for new bills to pass, barring special circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Brian Dahle, a Republican from Bieber, would oppose the plan but predicted it would probably pass California’s Democratic-dominated Legislature. He said the proposal was most likely a stunt for Newsom to win favor with his progressive base of voters ahead of a possible run for president in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to bear arms is different than the right to have an abortion,\" said Dahle. \"The right to have an abortion is not a constitutional amendment. So I think he’s way off base. I think he’s just using it as an opportunity to grandstand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom’s Saturday night declaration is a fulfilled prophecy for some gun rights groups who had predicted progressive states would attempt to use Texas's abortion law to restrict access to guns. That’s why the Firearms Policy Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for gun rights, filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court opposing the Texas law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Texas succeeds in its gambit here, New York, California, New Jersey, and others will not be far behind in adopting equally aggressive gambits to not merely chill but to freeze the right to keep and bear arms,” attorney Erik Jaffe wrote on behalf of the coalition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat representing San Francisco and parts of San Mateo County, would not say whether he supported Newsom's proposed law, he did note it would prompt a much-needed national debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Texas law is horrific, and it was just reprehensible that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed this law to remain in effect. So I want to see the Texas law and anything like it just disappear. But it's happening, unfortunately,\" Wiener said. \"Gov. Newsom is calling [into] question the slippery slope Texas and the Supreme Court have created by moving in this direction. And so it's a really important conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman contributed to this report, as did Associated Press reporter Adam Beam.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
