New: Gov. Gavin Newsom tells me he and Dem lawmakers have a budget deal totaling $351 billion.

Some takeaways:
❌No prison closure
❌No money toward federal covid unemployment debt (but ballot measure ACA 20 does ask voters to allow rainy day fund to be used to help pay this off)

✅New taxes on health plans and software as a service
✅$900M for HHAP homelessness grants

Plus, a major law change for the California Department of Education to be overseen by the Governor's office instead of State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

More and details to come...

🚨 BREAKING: We have filed lawsuits in New York and Illinois challenging assisted suicide laws.

People with disabilities deserve equal protection under the law, not a two-tiered system that treats some suicides as tragedies and others as solutions.
