Destabilizing rural hospitals is exactly the kind of devastating #Medicaid cut that CA GOP Reps. Young Kim & David Valadao said that they "cannot support." Will they keep their word when the Senate's reverse-Robin-Hood budget bill comes to the House floor? valadao.house.gov/uploadedfile...

In California, $30 can buy this basket of groceries. For low-income undocumented adults, that same $30 could become the monthly cost of staying enrolled in Medi-Cal. #Health4All #CABudget #CALeg

The proposed $230 billion cuts to SNAP don't just threaten to take food away from families in need--they would also significantly harm workers, businesses, and communities across California. Research from the National Grocers Association shows CalFresh dollars help fuel the food retailer industry

How would the $230 billion proposed federal cuts to SNAP impact California families? This graphic shows the groceries a family in Bakersfield would lose out on if their benefits were cut by 20%. CalFresh helps millions of families and children and should be protected!! #SNAP #HandsOffSNAP

The #CABudget could face a cost of OVER $3.1 BILLION to fund #CalFresh benefits under this cost-share proposal‼️ If implemented, this would put tremendous pressure on our budget and likely lead to cuts—taking food away from people in need. More in our analysis: calbudgetcenter.org/resources/re...

My most recent piece with @l-pryor.bsky.social and @hannahorbachmandel.bsky.social at the @calbudgetcenter.org juxtaposes the loss of Head Start and afterschool programs for a family in poverty against the luxuries a rich family could afford under the Trump plan. calbudgetcenter.org/resources/tw...

Today is #EqualPayDay, marking how far into 2025 women have to work in addition to 2024 to earn what men did last year. In CA, women are paid only $0.86 to every $1 a white man makes. While state policymakers have taken action to improve pay transparency and reporting, there is more to be done. 🧵

With House Republicans still negotiating a budget plan that is likely to include deeply harmful proposals, Senate Republicans today released a much narrower plan, which is both opaque and troubling.
