The Billionaire class gets massive tax breaks & subsidies.
Working class Americans on unlivable wages get SNAP assistance, so they can afford necessities like food.
Guess which program is getting cut?
An administration of billionaires will always look out for their own.
Learn & vote accordingly.

As an Eligibility Worker in Santa Clara County, I can confirm!
If you want to be mad at anybody, be mad at the employers who pay them the crap wages to live in the most expensive place. It's a wonder they're not all on the street.

12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.

I can tell you right now the majority are seniors and single mothers with children.

This estimate is based on recent federal spending of about $100 billion and an average of 41.7 million monthly participants in fiscal year 2024, which was then divided by the U.S. population to calculate the individual contribution.

On November 1st, those that received snap or as it's known in California CalFresh will not receive a benefit. That means no food for Thanksgiving. If the government shutdown continues beyond November, Christmas is really going to suck!

Now I want you to think about how you're going to feel when it's someone that you dearly love that needs those services and may not survive long enough to get to that emergency room??
Pay a tiny bit more in sales tax to save your loved ones life, seems worth it to me.

A Google Maps screenshot showing the traffic driving from Gilroy California to Valley Medical Center Emergency in San Jose California. That drive at 6:00 a.m. is 45 minutes long.
If you live in the more rural parts of this County like Gilroy, imagine driving all the way to San Jose to find an emergency room?
That's a 45 minute drive right now, 6:00 a.m. on a weekday. Give it an hour or two and traffic will make that much longer.

Currently we have a 1 billion whole in the Santa Clara County budget. I know this because I work for the county. The measure to keep our hospitals open will bring in 300 million for that purpose only.

In Santa Clara County which encompasses much of Silicon Valley south, we also have a measure on the ballot to collect a tiny fraction more of sales tax in order to keep our hospitals open. The Big Ugly Betrayal would have us close TWO full hospitals.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan.

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" is projected to cause 16 million more people to become uninsured by 2034. This increase stems from cuts to Medicaid, changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces, and the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.
He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
