Newsom to Decide on Renter Protections Tied to Social Security Changes Under Trump

California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized President Trump for sharing a debunked AI MedBed video and proceeding with a $200 million privately funded White House ballroom during the government shutdown.

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom must decide soon on Assembly Bill 246, passed earlier this month, that protects renters from eviction due to Social Security payment delays.
  • The bill was introduced amid a Congressional impasse over the government funding bill, risking a federal shutdown and mass federal employee firings.
  • Authored by Assemblymember Isaac Bryan, the bill would allow courts to pause eviction for up to six months if federal delays cause rent to be missed, with repayment due within 14 days after benefits resume.
  • Bryan responded that if the president honors his promises, the bill would have no effect, while critics—including landlord organizations—cautioned about possible negative repercussions.
  • The measure, supported by disability and labor organizations but opposed by Republicans and landlord associations, seeks to protect vulnerable Californians amid federal staffing cuts and Social Security backlogs.
