Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation.

So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.

We stand ready to help our neighbors down south in any way we can as communities begin the long road to recovery.

In filings, the city argued the company previously ran an “absolute hell hole”
