President Trump's proposed "Big Beautiful Bill" is facing strong opposition for its deep cuts to essential welfare programs like Medicaid, food stamps, and housing vouchers. Protesters rallied in San Jose, representing a coalition of advocacy groups against the bill. Key organizer Richard Hobbs criticized the bill for undermining core democratic values. The House proposal could slash healthcare programs by $1 trillion over a decade, risking health insurance for nearly 11 million Americans, including 1.7 million in California alone. Local impacts may lead to a loss of up to $70 million for Santa Clara County.
"If you take each one of our values, we can honestly say that Trump is working against all of those values. It's not about democracy for him, or equity or cooperation or kindness or sustainability."
"The budget proposals advancing through Congress could cost Santa Clara County up to $70 million, as Trump pushes for Congress to finalize the bill quickly."
