Newsom Slashed $100M in Fire Prevention Funds Ahead of Deadly Wildfires; Gavin Newsom Gives New Handout to Illegal Immigrants and Taxpayers Could Be On the Hook; Newsom Extends Free Healthcare to 700,000 Illegal Immigrants Despite Record Budget Deficit

Newsom Slashed $100M in Fire Prevention Funds Ahead of Deadly Wildfires:

On Friday, reports surfaced that Mayor Karen Bass planned to fire Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley after Crowley publicly blamed Bass during an interview. Just a day later, on Saturday, Governor Gavin Newsom appeared to throw both under the bus during an appearance on Pod Save America, claiming that he “wasn’t getting straight answers” and “was getting different answers” from L.A. officials on water shortages. It’s clear that those in charge are more focused on shifting blame than taking responsibility for this disaster.

As you know, Newsom is far from blameless. California’s broader wildfire and water management policies also share significant responsibility. The state has faced years of criticism for its insufficient wildfire prevention efforts and outdated water storage infrastructure. Former President Donald Trump consistently highlighted the need for better forest management—like clearing flammable brush and expanding water storage through new reservoirs. Yet, his practical solutions were met with resistance from environmental groups and state officials who prioritized ecological concerns over human safety.

“One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground. It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “This is all his fault!!!”

On top of that, it turns out that Newsom cut over $100 million from wildfire prevention funding in this fiscal year’s budget. —>READ MORE HERE

Gavin Newsom gives new handout to illegal immigrants and taxpayers could be on the hook:

Much of America’s future is made, tested, and—more often than not in recent years—fails in California.

California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that California would begin providing health care coverage to an additional 764,000 illegal immigrants on top of the 1.1 million already in the Medi-Cal system, California’s version of Medicaid. About one-third of California’s shrinking population of 39 million is enrolled in the Medi-Cal program.

California has been incrementally adding illegal immigrants to the Medi-Cal program since 2015. That was the year it made undocumented children eligible. Four years later, it added adults 50 and older. The latest expansion round adds those aged 26 to 49 at an estimated annual cost of $3.1 billion to California taxpayers—or about $4,058 a year in medical coverage subsidies from the state General Fund for those residing in California illegally in this age cohort.

The federal government only underwrites Medicaid expenses for those lawfully present in the U.S.

Overall, Medi-Cal consumes the largest portion of California’s $454.7 billion budget, with the federal government chipping in about $90 billion for health and the state about $40 billion from its General Fund.

California’s Democratic leadership has sought to use its Medi-Cal program as a means to gradually move to universal health insurance coverage. They argue that, since federal law mandates all hospitals provide emergency care services to anyone, regardless of immigration status or ability to pay, it’s less costly and more efficient to expand Medi-Cal coverage. —>READ MORE HERE
