Santa Clara County officials fear that Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” will rip a “seismic tear” in the country’s social safety net as they brace for more than $1 billion in lost federal revenues locally over the next few years.

With B-2s flying overhead during an Independence Day ceremony, President Donald Trump signed the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law.

Gov. Josh Stein said the bill could result in more than 500,000 people in NC losing health coverage and leave 1.4 million unable to afford food.
