5. **California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed freezing new Medi-Cal enrollment for undocumented adults and charging existing enrollees $100 per month**. The changes would start in 2026 and 2027, respectively, and are expected to save California $5.4 billion by 2029. Newsom framed the rollback as a fiscal necessity: “We’re just capping it.” His office, meanwhile, blamed the move on a $12 billion budget deficit and a $16 billion drop in state revenue tied to Trump-era tariffs. The Medi-Cal expansion cost $2.7 billion more than expected last year.

6. **20 sued the Trump administration over threats to withhold disaster relief and infrastructure funds unless states help identify undocumented immigrants and assist with deportations**. California Attorney General Rob Bonta called it “a blatantly illegal attempt to bully states.” Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation told states they must share data with ICE and eliminate diversity programs or risk losing money for airports, bridges, and emergency services. “We are experiencing creeping authoritarianism in this country,” Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha said.

7. **The Trump administration will roll back federal limits on four toxic “forever chemicals” in drinking water**, reversing parts of a 2024 Biden-era rule designed to reduce cancer and other health risks. The EPA will rescind mandatory limits for GenX, PFBS, PFHxS, and PFNA while delaying enforcement of existing rules for PFOA and PFOS until 2031. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claimed the move allowed for “common-sense flexibility.” ([CBS News](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/epa-forever-chemicals-rollback-drinking-water/) / [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/05/13/epa-pfas-drinking-water-rule/) / [Politico](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/14/trump-epa-to-weaken-drinking-water-limits-on-toxic-forever-chemicals-00347905) / [The Hill](https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5299565-epa-weaken-federal-limits-pfas/))
