California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has put forth a proposal to halt new enrollments of undocumented immigrants in a state-funded healthcare program as a strategy to address a $12 billion deficit.
What Happened: Newsom unveiled his nearly $322 billion state spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year on Wednesday. The plan outlines steps to address unexpectedly high Medicaid spending and a volatile economic environment, factoring in federal tariff policies and an unstable stock market, <a href="https://fortune.com/article/gavin-newsom-california-12-billion-deficit-medicaid-spending/">reported</a> Fortune.
The proposed freeze would prevent low-income adults without legal status from applying for Medi-Cal, California&#8217;s Medicaid program, beginning in 2026. However, those already enrolled will remain covered and the changes will not affect children. From 2027, adults with "unsatisfactory immigration status" on Medi-Cal will be required to pay a $100 monthly premium, aligning with the average cost of subsidized health plans in California&#8217;s marketplace.
Newsom criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s economic policies, suggesting they could decrease&nbsp;state revenues by $16 billion&nbsp;in the future. He stated, &#8220;California is under assault. We&nbsp;have a president that's been&nbsp;reckless in terms of assaulting&nbsp;those growth engines.&#8221;
Newsom&#8217;s office projects that these changes will save the state $5.4 billion by the 2028–2029 fiscal year.

Why It Matters: Newsom&#8217;s decision highlights a notable change in his stance. California expanded free health care to all low-income adults regardless of immigration status, aiming for universal coverage, a plan spearheaded by the Governor himself. However, the program cost $2.7 billion more than expected, with over 1.6 million undocumented individuals enrolled this fiscal year, as per the budget.
In March, Newsom refused to cut health benefits for immigrants despite a $6.2 billion Medicaid shortfall, defending the state-funded program as a long-term cost saver that doesn&#8217;t rely on federal funds.
This proposal comes at a time when&nbsp;California&#8217;s economy has grown to become the world&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45002621/california-overtakes-japan-to-become-worlds-fourth-largest-economy-progress-threatened-by-reckless-tariff-policies-warns-governor-newsom">fourth-largest</a>, surpassing Japan. However, according to Newsom, the state has been grappling with economic instability due to federal tariff policies, which he has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44857255/california-becomes-the-first-state-to-sue-trump-over-unlawful-tariff-regime-seeking-to-declare-it-null-and-void-global-trade-policy-is-not-just-a-game">publicly criticized</a>&nbsp;and even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45391448/fighting-back-with-facts-ca-gov-newsom-is-done-with-the-trolls-launches-website-to-shut-down-lies-about-worlds-4th-largest-economy">fought against</a>. 
The proposed Medicaid enrollment freeze is part of a broader effort to manage the state&#8217;s finances amid these challenges. However, several Republicans as well as Democrats have criticized Newsom&#8217;s decision. 
Masih Fouladi, executive director of the California Immigrant Policy Center, stated, "The proposal just doesn't match with our values as a state,&#8221; while Sen. Dave Cortese said, "Congress may be walking away from its obligation to the poor, the elderly and the disabled, but California will not."
At the same time, Republican Leader James Gallagher&nbsp;slammed Newsom for blaming Trump and reasoned that the budget deficit was due to Newsom&#8217;s &#8220;reckless spending, false promises and failed leadership."

Silicon Valley's headline feud just moved from boardrooms to every iPhone screen. As of mid-April, <a href="https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/meta-removes-use-of-apple-intelligence-in-its-apps-on-iphone/">CNET</a> reported that Apple Intelligence—Apple's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) new on-device AI suite—no longer works inside Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads or Messenger.&nbsp;
The silent change traced back to Meta Platforms&nbsp; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), which disabled Apple's application interfaces without fanfare.&nbsp;
The clash arrives three months after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1ehaE0bdU&amp;pp=ygUfbWFyayB6dWNrZXJiZXJnIGpvZSByb2dhbiBhcHBsZQ%3D%3D">The Joe Rogan Experience</a>" podcast in January that Apple "hasn't invented anything great since the iPhone." Investors are now gauging what this turf war means for mobile AI.

Error messages appeared first, as iPhone owners tried to launch Apple's Writing Tools or Genmoji inside Meta's apps.<a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/meta-blocks-apple-intelligence-features-on-facebook-instagram-threads"> PCMag</a> reported that the features still load in Safari, signaling a targeted block rather than a system outage.
Meta's own numbers explain the timing. A <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/pfbid0219ude255AKkmk4JAueXZeZ9zpjNYio2tBkd7bNmCaRbJ6iJaVVjypUgDg78CNdq5l">Facebook post</a> by Zuckerberg indicates capital spending could rocket to $65 billion in 2025 from $35 billion last year.

Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on April 17 and secured temporary tariff exemptions covering iPhones and MacBooks as fresh China tariffs loomed, according to media reports.&nbsp;

According to a 2020 <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/pranavdixit/zuckerberg-apple-monopoly">Buzzfeed report</a>, Zuckerberg said that Apple&#8217;s control over the App Store &#8220;blocks innovation, blocks competition,&#8221; and allows the company to &#8220;charge monopoly rents.&#8221; He emphasized that Apple has a &#8220;unique stranglehold as a gatekeeper on what gets on phones.&#8221;

CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) reported its first quarterly results as a public company late Wednesday. Shares initially hit new highs before pulling back as the company laid out plans for heavy spending. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45421041/nvidia-backed-coreweave-reports-q1-earnings-revenue-jumps-420-backlog-grows-to-25-9-billion-following-openai-deal-shares-hit-all-time-highs">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: CoreWeave said first-quarter revenue increased 420% year-over-year to $981.63 million, beating analyst <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/crwv/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a> of $859.77 million. The Nvidia-backed AI infrastructure company reported an adjusted loss of approximately 60 cents per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
CoreWeave said it had a revenue backlog of $25.9 billion at quarter&#8217;s end, including $11.2 billion from a strategic deal with OpenAI during the first quarter. 
Shares hit new highs in after-hours trading, but pulled back after the company laid out spending plans on the conference call. CoreWeave said it expects capital expenditures to be between $3 billion and $3.5 billion in the second quarter, and climb to $20 billion to $23 billion in full-year 2025. The company also guided for second-quarter revenue of $1.06 billion to $1.1 billion with full-year revenue forecasted at $4.9 billion to $5.1 billion.
&#8220;Demand for our platform is robust and accelerating as AI leaders seek the highly performant AI cloud infrastructure required for the most advanced applications. We are scaling as fast as possible to capture that demand,&#8221; CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator said in the earnings release.
CoreWeave rents out access to Nvidia GPUs to large technology and AI-focused companies. Wednesday&#8217;s report was the company&#8217;s first as a public company following its public debut on the Nasdaq in late March.
Following the print, Needham analyst Mike Cikos reiterated a Buy rating and maintained a price target of $55. Meanwhile, analysts at DA Davidson downgraded CoreWeave from Neutral to Underperform and set a price target of $36.
Despite the cautious outlook from analysts, shares are still hovering around highs. The stock traded above $74 in extended trading before falling to around $60 in pre-market trading Thursday morning. CoreWeave shares were bouncing back a bit at the time of writing, with shares down about 1%, hovering around $66.80, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
CoreWeave offered shares at $40 in its IPO. The stock traded as low as $33.51 in April before finding buyers and trending higher into earnings on Wednesday. As of Wednesday&#8217;s close, shares were up approximately 69% from the company&#8217;s IPO. The stock looks set for a volatile day of trading as investors weigh the company&#8217;s high spending forecast against its strong growth outlook.
