Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday outlined his administration’s latest version of the 2025-26 budget plan, better known as the May revise. He blamed President Donald Trump and called for changes to the state’s Medi-Cal program to help address the state’s roughly $12 billion estimated shortfall.

Newsom has not said whether he plans to run for president in 2028, but has long been rumored to be considering a bid.

Many democrats are expressing concerns over Newsom's proposal to limit the state's expansion of publicly funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

The authority will be able to plan with “greater certainty” and deliver the project more efficiently, the summary says.

The Menendez brothers will face a parole board in June as part of a separate push for clemency from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
