Gov. Gavin Newsom portrays himself as a resistance leader—though in his budget proposal, he is once again attacking Medicaid funded home care that helps disabled people live independently. My latest for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
motherjones.com
Newsom's budget shows he's not the resistance leader you think he is
Disabled people on Medicaid-funded home care are often "conditioned to accept crumbs."

Watch out for weather-related utility scams after winter storms
Huge winter storms in parts of the country have left hundreds of thousands of households without power. After a big storm, utility and other scammers will be busily at work. Scammers know severe weather may have shut off your electricity, heat, or water. One thing they try is sending messages that looklike they’re from your utility company with links designed to steal your personal information.
