While media pundits and other high-profile Democrats have relentlessly fearmongered about President Trump’s plans to “gut” entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicaid, it turns out Gavin Newsom was quietly doing exactly that.
From Kristen Hwang at CalMatters just yesterday:
In 2022, California made sweeping changes to its Medi-Cal program that reimagined what health care could look like for some of the state’s poorest and sickest residents by covering services from housing to healthy food. But the future of that program, known as CalAIM, could be at risk under the Trump administration.
In recent weeks, federal officials have signaled that support for creative uses of Medi-Cal funding is waning, particularly uses that California has invested in such as rent assistance and medically tailored meals. Medi-Cal is California’s name for Medicaid.
“Medically tailored meals” in layman’s terms is: healthy food.
According to Hwang, beginning in 2022 the Biden administration began to offer federal waivers that would “allow states to experiment with their Medicaid programs to try to save money and improve health outcomes” and hence, CalAIM was born. So naturally, Newsome took the opportunity to implement socialist ideas that have failed since their inception, and obliterated the state’s finances. For context, CBS News reported less than two weeks ago that there is currently a “$6.2 billion hole in the state’s Medicaid budget.” For more context, those are the losses after just one year.
So Newsom’s actually been “gutting” and stealing from Medi-Cal enrollees to pay for more food stamps and housing the bums, giving the public the illusion of less homelessness—which has been a major complaint from the voters—while the media accuses Trump of being the threat to entitlement programs. Got it; sounds about right.

Color me not shocked.
“Homeless spending” is a money-laundering scam.
Shocked face...😴
Busted?
Californians are fine with this.
Embezzlement
It will be blamed on someone lower down and described as an inadvertent accounting error rather than an illegal misuse and conversion of Federal funds.
“The jig is up!”
Careful with that phrase, I remember a joke the used that as the 3rd suggestive statement in an old joke about launching a rocket. It would not be appreciated anywhere today.
No offense to the author.
Democrats have relentlessly fearmongered about President Trump’s plans to “gut” entitlement programs.
Socialist hit hardest and longest.
Californians are not fine with Greasy NewSCUM nor his cohorts in the California Assembly (in office via voter fraud). Greasy is currently on his third RECALL petition that is being signed. The only reason the bastard is still in office now is via voter fraud. Count on it.
Greasy is despised by 99% of the citizens of CA because of his corruption and his destruction of CA.

Do a search on Gavin Newsom corruption and see how numerous the articles are.
“ Greasy is despised by 99% of the citizens of CA because of his corruption and his destruction of CA.”
He’s the governor, isn’t he?
Yes, he’s the Dictator of CA and, yes, he’s despised. He’s on his third RECALL.
They’ll vote for him again like they did first recall
Voter turnout is abysmal they don’t care. Moving to Texas to ruin that state
California is ruined not just from newsom
What part of voter fraud do you not get? Where did President Trump go to get millions in campaign contributions in 2024? California! When the voter fraud in 2016, 2020, and 2024 are exposed, you will see that DJT won California.
There is voter fraud in every state, Red or Blue as well as around the world.

This isn’t the same fraud as Trump
Californians are leaving the state instead of fixing it to bring this crap to their new states without consideration for their responsibility
Pelosi, boxer, Feinstein, brown, the city mayors are all part of it. I stayed in a nice la suburb for school recently for a long period. People shooting up iv drugs on the sidewalk. No one fixes that. It’s not safe for anyone
A very expensive area compared with the entire country
