Politico’s California Playbook
Governor Newsom signed and vetoed a stack of bills over the weekend. We’ll take a closer look at what bills survived and which ones didn’t. Plus, Kevin McCarthy, out as House Speaker. Who will replace him and will California feel an impact without someone in the Speaker’s chair? And, now that California has a new Senator, the big question surrounding Laphonza Butler is whether or not she will run for the seat in 2024. We’ll discuss it all with Co-author of POLITICO’s California Playbook, Dustin Gardiner.
UC Davis’ Backpack Program
Over 100,000 refugees from the historic Armenian enclave of Artsakh have poured into the tiny South Caucasus country of Armenia following a mass exodus brought on by Azerbaijani aggression. UC Davis is stepping in to help refugee students from Artsakh protect their educational information as Azerbaijan executes a mass ethnic cleansing of the enclave. UC Davis Professor and Director of Human Rights Studies, Keith David Watenpaugh joins us to discuss the humanitarian crisis and how Article 26 Backpack works.
