Governor Gavin Newsom just unveiled a revised budget that walks back key progressive health policies in the face of a $12 billion deficit. The plan freezes new Medi-Cal enrollment for undocumented adults and introduces $100 monthly premiums for those already covered—reversing his own promise of universal coverage regardless of immigration status. It also slashes reproductive health funding, including a one-third cut to Planned Parenthood and other low-income care programs. Newsom blames the shortfall on national economic instability, calling it the result of a “Trump slump.” But critics say the cuts hit California’s most vulnerable and undermine the state’s commitment to equity in healthcare.

The Trump administration just blocked Harvard from enrolling international students — and the fallout is immediate. On May 22, Homeland Security revoked Harvard’s ability to issue new student visas, claiming the university failed to comply with federal reporting requirements. Officials also cited concerns over alleged antisemitism and supposed ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The move impacts over 6,800 international students and could force many to transfer or leave the U.S. entirely. Harvard has condemned the decision as unlawful and politically motivated. University leaders say they’re preparing legal action and working to support students who are now caught in limbo. This decision comes on the heels of a broader crackdown on universities by the Trump administration — including threats to revoke tax-exempt status and freeze billions in research funding. What do you think: Is this about national security and accountability — or a political attack on higher education? #TrumpAdministration #Harvard #InternationalStudents #StudentVisas #HigherEd #AcademicFreedom #Causes #Trump #Politics (fb)
