Deadline Looms for Newsom to Decide on Protecting Renters if Social Security Benefits Are Delayed

Construction of Trump’s $200 million White House ballroom continues during the government shutdown with private funding, drawing criticism from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted President Donald Trump after he posted and deleted an AI video promoting MedBed claims, with Governor Newsom Press Office and Daniel Dale, CNN fact-checker, responding on X.
  • On Wednesday, Oct. 1, the U.S. government shut down at 12:01 a.m. after Congress failed to agree on a budget, but White House officials said work on the privately funded 90,000-square-foot, $200 million White House ballroom will continue.
  • The clip showed a fabricated Fox News montage with Lara Trump and an AI-generated voiceover promoting MedBed conspiracy theory claims about new hospitals and MedBed cards.
  • The governor's press office posted a mock conversation on X and likened President Donald Trump to Marie Antoinette, while late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump's focus on construction during the shutdown.
  • He has until Oct. 13 to decide on Assembly Bill 246, which would let renters cite delayed Social Security payments to avoid eviction amid federal staffing cuts affecting roughly 6.5 million Californians.
