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?

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.

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.

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.

NEW ESTIMATES: The policy reported here—adding a state cost-share for #SNAP that ramps up to 22.5%—would impose $23.65 billion in new costs on states just in the first year it's fully phased in. This would likely lead to deep cuts to food assistance. State numbers in link below⤵️

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.
