With Donald Trump's government shutdown halting SNAP food benefits, California is stepping up.
We've fast-tracked $80 million to food banks across the state and deployed hundreds of California National Guard service members to help make sure Californians in need don't go hungry.

To play politics with that is unconscionable. It would be one thing if these were cases of underperformance, but many of those being laid off have stellar reviews and decades of service. This isn’t reform; it’s retribution. And it’s wrong.

These terminations will impact both Democrats and Republicans alike, thousands of dedicated public servants who have spent their careers working for the good of the nation.
A job isn’t “nothing.” It’s how people support their families, pay their bills, buy food, and put their kids through school.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.

Of course Trump got the flu shot and the Covid booster. He’s probably had shingles and pneumonia shots too because he’s old. His followers may hate vaccines, but his doctors don’t. He likes stupid people. It doesn’t mean his doctors are stupid.
