Not only did it not lose population, its not even one of the five slowest-growing states.
“The five states with the slowest population growth, all under 2.5%, were: Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania.”

This is simply wrong.
Your links all clearly indicate CA had a population loss for the first time ever in the year 2020. Not for the entire decade. CA lost a seat because growth slowed, not went negative.
Edit: Population, Census, April 1, 2020 39,538,223 Population, Census, April 1, 2010 37,253,956 via https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CA
but he headline seem to be talking SanFran, but I can not know for sure
However actual statewide data, based on US Census totals, shows that over all CA is one of only a few states that have a net Population LOSS over the last 10 years, so much so they are losing a congressional seat.
