Good morning, Escondido.
🏛️ Government
County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer warned residents that cuts to food benefits under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will require recipients to work 20 hours a week or risk losing aid in early 2026 — the county is setting up a notification plan to help those affected.
Food bank CEO Casey Castillo said the changes could widen the monthly meal gap by 60% to 7.1 million missed meals — impacting groups such as veterans, older adults and the homeless.
🏥 Health
Federal officials are planning a crackdown on 7-OH products sold in local stores across San Diego—these products have raised concerns among substance use experts who report severe withdrawal symptoms in some users.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has urged the Justice Department to classify 7-OH as an illicit drug to help combat the opioid crisis.
