1. Santa Clara County authorities prepare por possible use of illegal fireworks on July Fourth (nbcbayarea.com) — San Jose officials are stepping up enforcement against illegal fireworks this Fourth of July, using extra patrols, a reporting app, and even drones to protect neighborhoods near homes and overpasses. Santa Clara County fire agencies and Cal Fire are also increasing patrols, while Gilroy remains the only city in the county allowing “safe and sane” fireworks under strict rules and ID checks.
   

2.

The article details exactly which documents you must bring, how to submit them by email or drop-off, and the new May 2026 pantry schedule so households can plan weekly visits.
   

3. AT&T wins early approval to end landline service for 184,000 California households (mercurynews.com) — San Jose residents who still rely on copper landlines, like Helen Chapman, could lose that safety lifeline starting in 2027 after AT&T won an initial FCC approval to phase out traditional phone service for 184,000 California households. The state and consumer advocates are fighting back in court and before federal regulators, arguing many people lack reliable cell or internet alternatives, especially during disasters.
