Looking Back On January 6 Insurrection Four Years Later

Monday marks four years since a mob of supporters of then President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. It was an attempt to keep Trump in office, after he lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. 140 law enforcement officers were injured and five people died during or soon after the riot. Since the insurrection, more than 1,000 people have been sentenced for crimes they committed that day. That includes many Californians. Guest: Tom Dreisbach, NPR Investigative Correspondent The Santa Cruz Wharf reopened on Saturday, less than two weeks after 150 feet of it collapsed into the ocean during a storm. That area had already been closed to the public for nearly a year because of previous storms. Still, about 20 businesses had to close as a result.

What LA's Sanctuary City Policy Could Look Like Under Trump Administration

When the Trump administration takes office later this month, it'll be on a collision course with California cities that have vowed to protect their undocumented residents from Donald Trump's plans for mass deportation.

Dramatic Insurance Spikes Could Tank California's Homeless Housing

To end homelessness, California’s political leaders have championed a seemingly simple solution: build homes for people who don’t have them. Even better, put those homes in places where unhoused folks are already living — in cities, close to public transportation and services. But insurers are increasingly eyeing those properties as too risky to serve — not because of potentially catastrophic storms or wildfires — but because of who lives there and the urban neighborhoods where they’re located. Reporter: Erin Baldassari, KQED A new law that goes into effect in the new year could give tenants facing eviction a better shot at staying in their homes.

This serves as a more left activist agenda than a fair accounting of just the factual news. It’s disappointing and why I’ve never contributed money to their fundraising campaigns.
Thank you
