Today is Election Day! Inform yourself on the issues and candidates and cast your vote if you haven’t already. Elections have real significance for your quality of life, cost of living and safety. GYPC is recommending a YES on Proposition 43 and a NO on 40.

Failure to prevent Medi-Cal fraud means less resources for those who legitimately need healthcare. This is why accountability and transparency are so important.
The report described a “history of concern” about the department’s oversight of Medi‑Cal providers and classified it as “high-risk” for fraud, waste and abuse. cal.news/4B9MGPd 📸 Pablo Unzueta

Seniors shouldn’t be financially penalized for selling homes they’ve lived in for decades. H.R. 1340, the More Homes on the Market Act, would modernize capital gains tax exclusions, helping retirees downsize while freeing homes for the next generation. @RepThompson @RepJudyChu

A bond market sell off is still sending ripples through the world financial market. For seniors, it could mean higher costs for households on a fixed income. sacdailypress.com/bond-sell-…

Many seniors are worried about how taxes and inflation will impact their retirement. One of the biggest fears is running out of money. If you’re not yet retired and are still planning, you can avoid stress in your Golden years by saving more than you think you’ll need.

When it comes to saving for your retirement, you might need more money than you realize. In fact outliving your money is one of seniors biggest concerns. Rising taxes, inflation and healthcare costs all contribute to these fears. ☔️

Americans have lost billions to sophisticated scam networks operating from Southeast Asia, and older adults are often among the hardest hit. It's time to strengthen the fight against international financial scams. @RepLiccardo #ProtectSeniors #StopScams

Americans—especially seniors—have lost billions to crypto scams and fraud. @SenAlexPadilla and @SenAdamSchiff must put consumer protection first by strengthening safeguards, transparency, and accountability. xitter.gq/SteveRattner/status/20…
The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track. According to @Reuters, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.

.@RepMaxineWaters, seniors in CA-43 depend on community banks, local nonprofits + small biz. Expanding FDIC coverage to $5M for business accounts could increase costs for community lenders + reduce resources serving retirees. Please oppose the Hagerty-Alsobrooks proposal

Using a 1960s wiretapping law, a loophole has been created to sue businesses and organizations for using common website tools. These legal shakedowns ripple thru our economy and especially hurt seniors on fixed incomes. Reform is needed. Join us at ReformCIPA.com.

The GENIUS Act loophole could shift deposits away from community banks. For seniors on fixed incomes, trusted local banks aren’t optional, they’re essential. Support innovation without weakening the banks older Americans rely on. @AdamSchiff22 @SenAlexPadilla

On Valentine’s Day, we honor the love, wisdom, and hard-earned experience of California’s seniors. Their voices built this state — and we’re fighting every day to make sure they’re heard and respected. Because every generation deserves to feel valued. ❤️

@ DrOzCMS Latino seniors in the Valley are facing a long-term care emergency, says Latino Times — with few services available in rural areas and rising needs as our population ages. Policymakers must prioritize accessible, culturally-competent care now. latinotimes.org/2026/01/a-lo…

60% of LTC pharmacies could shut down under new Medicare Part D rules — hurting seniors with complex needs.H.R. 5031 (Van Duyne–Schneider) is a bipartisan fix. Congress & the White House need to act now.@RepDavidValadao @KenCalvert @RepYoungKim @JamesBlairUSA @DrOzCMS

For America’s seniors, Monuments like Chuckwalla & Sattitla mean health, recreation & time with family. Protecting them protects wellness, tradition & historical value for future generations. #ProtectMonuments @KenCalvert @KevinKileyCA @YoungKimCA @JayObernolte @RepDavidValadao
