Do you have innovative ideas for improving Medi-Cal? The California Health Care Foundation has created a commission to help reimagine how Medi-Cal can better serve California and is funding up to five $50k awards for concept briefs.  Due Dec. 19. https://t.co/bfCTBS8Pwx

Medicaid cuts would have a devastating impact on women’s health and could increase the U.S.’ already high maternal mortality and morbidity rates. Our blog looks at the Commonwealth Funds’ Scorecard to help illuminate the impact. https://t.co/bcd195cfds

Medicaid news: E & C’s mark up is postponed. I hope this indicates advocacy is working. Medicaid is crucial to our health and healthcare system, insuring more than 72 million Americans and serving as the financial safety net for much of our healthcare system.

Our nation needs to be moving towards stronger, smarter gun violence prevention not moving backwards. Thank you for reporing on this, @GlennThrush #gunviolenceprevention #PublicHealth

LIVE: Bondi also ordering FBI/ATF director Kash Patel, to review Biden's ban on pistol braces used to convert handguns into rifle-like weapons and a measure intended to increase background checks on private gun sales -- with an eye toward eliminating both.

[Dawn Joyce @dawn_joyce]

Highly concerning given that firearm violence is the leading cause of death among children in the US.

[Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush]

NEWS: AG Pam Bondi is repealing Biden-era ATF "zero tolerance" policy against gun dealers -- a 2021 rule that revoked the licenses of federally licensed dealers found to have falsified records and skipped background checks, per 2 sources familiar w/ the move.

Cities are pursuing a range of approaches to address the nationwide mental health crisis. Fresno purchased 5 motels to help house the unhoused. Many localities are responding to calls with social workers and emotional support animals rather than police. https://t.co/PO762TrcI3

Excellent (and sad) article regarding the impact the Supreme Court's ruling in the Bruen case is having on U.S. gun laws. #gunviolenceprevention

@KFFHealthNews illustrates the devastating impact of state level legislation on trans individuals of all ages and their families. Josie - a teen - moved to Rhode Island because she no longer felt safe in Florida. https://t.co/RCb2liLPwl

#DebtCeilingAgreemment expands #SNAPWorkRequirements to include older adults ages 50 to 54 years. Requirements previously ended at age 50.

IT’S HAPPENING!!! Tonight the Minnesota House passed bills to establish a red flag law and expand background checks. The vote was along party lines, meaning the @momsdemand volunteers elected to office in November made this possible. Next up, the Senate! https://t.co/t3ArdQic4h

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Washington state on Tuesday banned sales of assault weapons, including the AR-15, which has been used in some of the deadliest mass shootings in the United States.

Gov. Jay Inslee (D) signed into law House Bill 1240, which prohibits the “manufacture, importation, distribution, selling, and offering for sale of assault weapons” and lists dozens of specific firearms — the AR-15, AK-47, M16 and M4 among them. https://t.co/ynDXlte1N7

Worried? Watch this scene. Sad? Watch this scene. Lonely? Watch this scene. Sick? Watch this scene. Angry? Watch this scene. Anxious? Watch this scene. Tired? Watch this scene. #TedLasso

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Gun violence is now the number one cause of death for children in our nation.

Leaders in state houses and the United States Congress must have the courage to step up and pass commonsense gun safety laws, which the majority of Americans support.

Under House Republican proposals, @CenterOnBudget estimates that more than 10 million people - about 1 in 4 SNAP participants - including as many as 4 million children would be at risk of losing food assistance. #2023FarmBill #Hunger https://t.co/PHjwQIocJz
