Obernolte voted for H.R. 1 and posted a statement telling constituents the Medicaid changes wouldn't push anyone off. California's own health department projects 1.1 million Medi-Cal enrollees will lose coverage by 2029-30 under the new work requirement. Forty-eight percent of his district is on the program.
Obernolte chairs the House subcommittee writing AI policy and wrote the bill that would bar states — including California — from imposing safety transparency, auditing or incident-reporting duties on AI developers. He also helped launch a nonprofit that charges AI startups up to $3,500 a month for access to policymakers.
As immigration subcommittee chairman, McClintock has sent records demands to Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Arlington County and Denver. One letter asks a sheriff for her correspondence with six named immigrant-rights and civil-liberties groups.
Visitation rose as much as 45% in March. May brought gridlock. Two senators asked Interior to bring the system back. McClintock's answer in June: people complaining about crowds just don't want 'those pesky other people' in the park.
H.R. 5437 would bar suits against engineered-stone makers and dismiss about 500 already filed. More than 560 Californians have been confirmed with silicosis and at least 31 have died since 2019. Nearly all are low-income Latino men.
On February 26, 2025, Kim posted a promise on her own website. About 1,000 people rallied at her Anaheim office in April to hold her to it. She voted for the cuts anyway. The Joint Economic Committee estimates 27,115 people in her district lose coverage.
Kim's REG Act sounds procedural. It passed committee bolted into a nine-title package that abolishes the accounting board created after Enron and lets corporate lawbreakers be fined once instead of hundreds of times. Her own press release says so.
Kim's bill cuts off every dollar of federal education funding to any college that violates civil rights law — which was already true. Her own press release admits it 'reinforces existing federal civil rights protections.' It has two cosponsors and hasn't moved since April.
"This is against the law, and the law needs to be enforced." Hilton calls California's Housing First strategy a "complete disaster" and would redirect state funding to sober housing — in a state with nearly a quarter of America's homeless population.
