Dave Regan, president of SEIU-UHW, said at a news conference the ballot initiative is the “only solution anyone can see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are facing literally a collapse of our health care system here in California and elsewhere,” Regan said. “This will help us keep health care facilities open. It will stabilize premiums and coverage for all Californians, protect health care jobs, and also improve public education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed initiative would tax the 2025 net worth of billionaires residing in California, allowing them to pay off the obligation over five years. The revenue would go into a special fund with 90% reserved for health care spending and 10% reserved for K-12 education spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It needs 874,641 signatures to be placed before voters on the 2026 ballot, a number that the groups are confident they can reach.

Instead of targeting earnings, the state would levy such a tax on the net worth of an individual, everything from investments to property value and even other assets, like jewelry and paintings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is a big reason why. Newsom has never supported a wealth tax, at times \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/10/newsom-wsj-wealth-tax-editorial-shameful-00134850\">angrily rejecting\u003c/a> conservative efforts to link him with one as “shameful.” He quashed the most recent legislative effort last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers this year had considered raising revenue to help support the state’s social services programs, which receive billions in federal funds annually, but pivoted to focus on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/prop-50/\">Newsom’s Proposition 50 redistricting fight\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regan said there are no plans to cut a deal with state lawmakers and pull the initiative from the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax reform and budget bill — the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — is projected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/medicaid/allocating-cbos-estimates-of-federal-medicaid-spending-reductions-across-the-states-enacted-reconciliation-package/\">cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid over a decade\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2025/07/federal-budget-health-care-medicaid-medi-cal/\">California is estimated to lose roughly $30 billion in federal Medicaid funds\u003c/a> annually as a result.

This is similar to how the National Guard were used to assist California food banks in March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Major General Matthew P. Beevers, adjutant general for the California National Guard. “The California Military Department, under the direction of the Governor’s Office, is proud to support food bank operations across the state,” said Beevers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But food banks will have to request or agree to the state guard’s presence. And Assemblymember Alex Lee (D-San José), who chairs the state Legislature’s Human Services Committee with oversight of CalFresh policy, said that per Newsom’s office, the state guard “won’t be armed” when serving at food banks and will be more in behind-the-scenes logistical roles rather than being “civilian-facing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said he also anticipated that the state guard would be “very few in numbers” at each food bank, because of the sheer number of organizations around the state needing help. And people there to use the food bank’s services “should not confuse [them] with federal troop deployment, federal agents, or ICE,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California National Guard won’t be at every food bank, either.

Gavin Newsom has activated the California National Guard \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12061030/california-national-guard-to-support-food-banks-as-federal-shutdown-drags-on\">to support some food banks around the state\u003c/a> during \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12060770/snap-calfresh-food-stamps-government-shutdown-november-payments-ebt\">the federal government shutdown\u003c/a>. This is similar to how the National Guard were used to assist California food banks in March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Major General Matthew P. Beevers, adjutant general for the California National Guard. “The California Military Department, under the direction of the Governor’s Office, is proud to support food bank operations across the state,” said Beevers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But food banks will have to request or agree to the state guard’s presence. And Assemblymember Alex Lee (D-San José), who chairs the state Legislature’s Human Services Committee with oversight of CalFresh policy, said that per Newsom’s office, the state guard “won’t be armed” when serving at food banks and will be more in behind-the-scenes logistical roles rather than being “civilian-facing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said he also anticipated that the state guard would be “very few in numbers” at each food bank, because of the sheer number of organizations around the state needing help. And people there to use the food bank’s services “should not confuse [them] with federal troop deployment, federal agents, or ICE,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California National Guard won’t be at every food bank, either.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut held an emergency hearing after California joined Oregon’s lawsuit earlier in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated the ruling, calling it a “victory for American democracy itself.” In a post on X, he \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/CAgovernor/status/1975042264885035195\">wrote\u003c/a>, “Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The broader order comes a day after the same judge \u003ca href=\"https://www.opb.org/article/2025/10/04/portland-national-guard-deployment-judge-decision/\">temporarily blocked\u003c/a> the Trump administration from deploying Oregon’s National Guard in response to protests outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration attempted to bypass that ruling by deploying troops from California. According to a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth filed in court, the president also ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops to “perform federal protection missions” in Chicago, Portland and potentially other major cities. The White House has increasingly turned to federalizing troops for deployment in U.S. cities, including earlier this summer in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump has also threatened to send troops to Chicago and on Tuesday mentioned San Francisco as a potential “training ground” during a speech to top military officials in Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">California Gave Counties Power To Inspect ICE Detention Centers.

The first, passed \u003ca href=\"https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB103/id/1637414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">during the first Trump administration\u003c/a>, allows the attorney general’s office to inspect for violations of national detention standards and health or safety issues. The AG’s office has used that power to publish annual reports on conditions inside detention centers, including \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/04/ice-detention-center-investigation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one this year\u003c/a> that alleged deficient mental health care. The second, a 2024 law, empowers counties to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202320240sb1132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inspect privately run detention facilities\u003c/a>. In the past, counties have inspected jails and prisons, finding mold, rats, and other health violations. But county health officials have not used that power to inspect federal immigration detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kern County — where three detention centers operate — the health officer, through an attorney, has said in testimony before a federal judge that he has “no intention” of exercising his new authority to inspect the facilities to ensure they comply with state and local health standards. The companies that manage the detention centers through contracts with the federal government say they take seriously their responsibility to adhere to federal standards and uphold human rights. One unsuccessfully sued to overturn the \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/article/immigration-detention-centers-geo-group-health-inspection-lawsuit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new California inspection law\u003c/a>, alleging it was unnecessary and an intrusion on the federal government’s authority.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It falls to state legislators to close that gap when they take on next year’s budget. Ramos-Yamamoto expects the state will drain money from a benefit known as home- and community-based care, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/dataandstats/dashboards/Pages/LTSS-Dashboard.aspx\">serves more than 900,000 Californians\u003c/a>, according to 2022 data from DHCS.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058715/trumps-order-to-deploy-california-national-guard-to-oregon-sparks-legal-showdown\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judge Halts Trump’s Plan To Deploy California Troops To Oregon Protests\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in Oregon late Sunday halted the Trump administration from federalizing any out-of-state National Guard troops for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058677/newsom-says-trump-is-sending-300-california-national-guard-members-to-oregon\">deployment to Oregon\u003c/a>, including hundreds from California. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut held an emergency hearing after California joined Oregon’s lawsuit earlier in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated the ruling, calling it a “victory for American democracy itself.” In a post on X, he \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/CAgovernor/status/1975042264885035195\">wrote\u003c/a>, “Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The broader order comes a day after the same judge \u003ca href=\"https://www.opb.org/article/2025/10/04/portland-national-guard-deployment-judge-decision/\">temporarily blocked\u003c/a> the Trump administration from deploying Oregon’s National Guard in response to protests outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration attempted to bypass that ruling by deploying troops from California. According to a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth filed in court, the president also ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops to “perform federal protection missions” in Chicago, Portland and potentially other major cities. The White House has increasingly turned to federalizing troops for deployment in U.S. cities, including earlier this summer in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump has also threatened to send troops to Chicago and on Tuesday mentioned San Francisco as a potential “training ground” during a speech to top military officials in Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">California Gave Counties Power To Inspect ICE Detention Centers.

She often brings the kids in after finishing her shift picking blackberries at a nearby farm. “By bringing them here, I’m also saving money and food at home, and that helps a lot,” she said in her native Mixteco. “And, the kids can come and distract themselves and have fun for a while.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raíces y Cariño provides \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.rcfam.com/information-in-english/about-us%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>support\u003c/u>\u003c/a> for low-income families, especially farmworkers like Cordelia, by offering family recreational activities and community health services including doula support. Families donate what they can – up to $5 monthly, and the rest is covered by Medicaid, called Medi-Cal in California, which provides health insurance to millions of low-income people. Raíces y Cariño founder Nora Yerena is worried the cuts to Medi-Cal could mean they struggle to provide services for families like Cordelia’s. “It is a very serious risk that I’m aware of and fear that if we can’t have sustained funding for what we’re doing, it won’t exist,” Yerena said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>H.R.1\u003c/u>\u003c/a>\u003cu>,\u003c/u> signed by President Donald Trump in July, slash federal Medicaid funding by about $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

Gee, who oversees what is known as the Flores agreement, expressed skepticism at the government’s request but did not immediately issue a ruling. It was not clear how soon she will rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge pressed government attorney Joshua McCroskey on why President Donald Trump’s administration was holding children at the border for longer than the 72 hours laid out in the agreement when border arrests have reached record lows. She said it seems like conditions should be improving but they “are deteriorating.” McCroskey said some children are being held for longer because Trump as part of his crackdown ended the Biden administration’s policy that allowed expedited releases of immigrants. McCroskey also pointed to logistical challenges that resulted from the closure of temporary facilities that were set up under President Joe Biden to handle an influx of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, CBP held 46 children over a week, including six children held for over two weeks and four children held 19 days, according to data revealed in a court filing.

Kevin Mullin (D-San Mateo), whose district includes two of the shuttered clinics. In a statement, he said the medical centers “have long served as a lifeline for thousands of patients in our community, many of whom are low-income, uninsured, or unable to access quality health care elsewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mullin, people in his district, which spans much of the Bay Area’s Peninsula, have relied on Planned Parenthood for years for cancer screenings, contraception and general health services.[aside postID=news_12047147 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/PPNorcal.jpg']“Women will go without Pap smears, mammograms and prenatal care. Young people will lose access to birth control. Families will be denied basic preventative services,” added Assemblymember Dianne Papan (D-San Mateo) in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mar Monte Spokesperson Andrew Adams, the organization chose to close health centers strategically where there are other nonprofit health options available and other Mar Monte clinics nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he expects the vast majority of patients who have been seen at the shuttered clinics will get care at another of the organization’s facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we closed yesterday at those five places, our staff got on the phone and for patients that had appointments today or next week, we let them know that they can continue to be seen and we’re happy to reschedule for nearby health centers,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mar Monte will also sunset three programs, including prenatal care and behavioral health, at its 30 remaining centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not backing down, but we must have the resources to continue this fight and to continue to provide care to the hundreds of thousands who rely on [Planned Parenthood Mar Monte],” the branch said in its statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams said Mar Monte has lost $1.7 million in reimbursements in one week as its clinics continued to administer care. By the end of July, he predicts the organization will lose nearly $5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew that that business model is not sustainable. We can’t keep doing that, unfortunately,” Adams told KQED Friday. “We knew that we had to close some health centers in order to remain sustainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The organization will need to build up other funding streams to protect against deeper cuts, Adams said. Mar Monte is working with the state to see if they can still utilize state-level Medicaid funding — known as Medi-Cal — as well as considering new services that attract patients and can be paid for with cash and leaning more heavily on donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re really relying on the state to help fill the gap and we’re asking our donors to help bridge this time period while we come up with a more sustainable business model,” Adams told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood Federation of America has already sued the Trump administration over the budget bill, but a \u003ca href=\"https://litigationtracker.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Planned-Parenthood-Federation-of-America_2025.07.21_MEMORANDUM-ORDER.pdf\">temporary order\u003c/a> issued by a district judge in Massachusetts this week will allow the federal government to withhold reimbursements to most clinics, including all in California, while the court case plays out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mar Monte said the legal challenge faces a tough road ahead, as it could likely advance to the Supreme Court, which it described as “adversarial” to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
