Gov. Gavin Newsom's 2025-26 revised budget proposal reneges on his
signature policy to provide free healthcare coverage to all low-income undocumented immigrants as costs exceed expectations and the state
anticipates challenging economic times ahead.

Newsom's office said the governor's spending plan, which will be released
late Wednesday morning, calls for requiring all undocumented adults to pay
$100 monthly premiums to receive Medi-Cal coverage and for blocking all
new adult applications to the program as of Jan. 1.

The cost share will reduce the financial burden on the state and could
lower the total number of people enrolled in the healthcare program if
some immigrants cannot afford the new premiums. Freezing enrollment may
prevent the price tag of the program from continuing to balloon after more people signed up for coverage than the state anticipated.

The governor's office said the changes will save a combined $5.4 billion through 2028-29, but did not detail the cost savings in the upcoming
fiscal year that begins July 1.

Newsom is expected Wednesday to project a deficit for California in the
fiscal year ahead, which includes higher than expected Medi-Cal costs, and
more significant shortfall estimates in the following years. In the
current budget year, the governor and lawmakers approved a $2.8-billion appropriation and took out a separate $3.4-billion loan just to pay for
extra expenses for Medi-Cal through June.

The rising costs have drawn criticism from Republicans and added pressure
on Democrats to consider scaling back coverage for immigrants. A recent
poll found strong support among California voters for offering free
healthcare to undocumented children. Just over half of voters supported providing the healthcare to eligible immigrants 50 years old or above, and
a plurality � 49% � favored providing the coverage to adults between the
ages of 18 and 49.

Medi-Cal, the California offshoot of the federal Medicaid program,
provides healthcare coverage to eligible low-income residents. After the Republican Congress this year passed a budget blueprint that includes
billions of dollars in spending reductions, fears also persist that cuts
to federal Medicaid funding may be looming.

California became the first state in the nation to offer healthcare to all income-eligible immigrants one year ago after the expansion was approved
by Newsom and the Democratic-led Legislature.

Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, signed a bill in 2015 that offered Medi-Cal coverage to all children younger than 19.

Newsom grew the Medi-Cal coverage pool to include all income-eligible immigrants in California under a multiyear expansion by age categories
that began in 2020 and concluded in 2024.

California's new budget shortfall comes in addition to $27.3 billion in financial remedies, including $16.1 billion in cuts and a $7.1-billion withdrawal from the state�s rainy day fund, that lawmakers and the
governor already agreed to make in 2025-26.

The nearly $40-billion total deficit marks the third year in a row that
Newsom and lawmakers have been forced to reduce spending after dedicating
more money to programs than the state has available to spend. Poor
projections, the high price tag of Democratic policy promises and a
reluctance to make long-term sweeping cuts have added to the deficit at a
time when the governor regularly touts California�s place as the fourth- largest economy in the world.

On Tuesday afternoon, Newsom's office said President Trump's tariff
policies have also hurt California's financial standing and projected that
the state will lose out on $16 billion in revenue from January 2025
through June 2026 because of the levies on imported goods and the effect
of economic uncertainty on the stock market.

Of course.
Newsom is planning on a run for POTUS and he realizes that his woke, DEI, liberal
policies are disliked not only by Californians but by the country as whole.

If he decides to run, the Republicans will have a field day with Newsom pointing
out how he's taken CA from a budget surplus to a huge budget deficit.

People have had enough of the woke/DEI bullshit.
More than enough in fact.

It's a loser platform.

Newsom can say whatever he wants but only the sheep believe him.
He's a greasy, oily politician.
And the Democrats are idiots if they back him, or AOC for that matter.

Gavin Newsom’s Wonderland: Hilarious News Fact Check Website
Newsom slaps back at ‘MAGA trolls’ on new ‘disinformation’ website

By Katy Grimes, May 15, 2025 8:24 am

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war with reality,” surely must be the borrowed motto of the Newsom administration in its battle with some California news organizations and X commenters. Alice in Wonderland has
nothing on Gavin Newsom’s administration.


Mad Tea Party. (Photo: Alice in Wonderland, public domain)
California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently launched a new website “fact-checking” X accounts which poke at the sensitive governor, state Republicans, MAGA, and of course, President Donald Trump. It is broken
down into “Disinformation by topic:” LA Fires, Economy, Housing,
Climate, Crime, Immigration, Homelessness, Water, Random, Energy. It’s “Curiouser and curiouser!” why “random” is ahead of “energy.”

The California Globe has the distinction of landing the first two
“FALSE” claims on Newsom’s fake news website.



Politico describes this as Newsom “escalating a campaign to defend his
home state and record against false and misleading information online.”

Pulease. Gavin Newsom has never defended “his home state” – he only defends Gavin Newsom. As for “false and misleading information online,” Gavin Newsom just doesn’t like what news organizations like the Globe
report. We go out of our way for the truth, laden with details, facts,
data and interviews, “without fear or favor.”

In its quest to defend the Governor, Politico claims, “The governor voraciously consumes conservative media and has adopted creative
strategies to counter its influence by appearing on Fox News, deploying
staff to counter criticism on X and creating another site to fact check
claims about this year’s fires in Los Angeles.”

Those “creative strategies” surely must be patterned after Alice in Wonderland:

“I’m not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different
from yours.”

The thin-skinned governor deploys his minions to push back against
critics, detractors, and quibblers. Brandon Richards (He/Him), Newsom’s “Deputy Director of Rapid Response” and chief defamer, often replies to news articles with deception and fibs, demanding retractions.

“How fine you look when dressed in rage. Your enemies are fortunate your condition is not permanent. You’re lucky, too. Red eyes suit so few.”

Imagine his rage when Gov. Newsom claims, “No, businesses are NOT
fleeing California,” and “No, the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers did not damage the industry.”

This is the handiwork of Brandon Richards (He/Him).

“Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what
you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.”

That sounds like a Kamala Harris speech…

Here are a few more of Newsom’s ludicrous fact checks:



“This site is for everyone sick of the BS about California,” Newsom said sounding like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. “We’re done letting the MAGA trolls define the Golden State. We’re going on the
offense and fighting back — with facts.”

That should say, We’re fighting back with “our facts.” And isn’t it interesting that Gavin Newsom believes that “MAGA trolls define the
Golden State?”

As the Queen of Hearts demands, “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”
