In this episode we talked about the historic show that the GOP gave us when removing House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. What is going on there? Yikes. Not all is lost, Gavin Newson appointed a new Senator faster than we could upload a new episode! Wowza.

Senator Feinstein passed today at 90 years old. Her legacy is vast and Governor Newsom has the task to fill her seat. Listen as Chicas Politicas talk about the late Senator and next steps. Also, what the hell is a "government shutdown"? The chicas break it down for you. Eek!

The Chicas talk about maternal health disparities, what kind of champion we need to get us out of this hole and others like... (drums) the housing crisis. Lots of talks and plans, but what is California actually doing? Governor Newsom, listen up!
