| An extreme heat wave sweeping Southern California could shatter records this week – as temperatures in Palm Springs are expected to hit over 115 degrees, potentially putting lives at risk across Riverside County.
Meanwhile, Trump is continuing his efforts to cut funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) — a lifeline that provides critical cooling support for seniors, children, and people with disabilities. As Ken Calvert stays silent, local families will be forced to weather the extreme heat on an already stretched-thin program — making impossible choices to forgo basic needs like food or medications to cover their growing energy bills.
With temperatures reaching dangerous extremes, the consequences could be catastrophic – and Calvert is standing by as a useless mouth piece for Trump’s terrible policies hurting Californians.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Ken Calvert is nowhere to be found as some of his most vulnerable constituents stand at risk of suffering in extreme heat with no way to cool their homes. It’s heartless, it’s reckless — and when temperatures hit their summer peak, Southern Californians will feel the consequences.” |
