Inside Golden State Politics

We examine the impact of Trump's immigration  sweeps on Los Angeles, on California, and on the nation.

We explore the dynamics of Musk's departure from the Trump camp.  We look at Trump's escalating war on immigrants.  And unimpressed with the current crop of Democratic candidates for California governor or president, we throw out the name of George Clooney for president. Just joking. Sort of.

We search for answers as to why President Trump  continues to attack Harvard and other major universities.   We examine the political, cultural and economic impacts of Trump's attacks.

We look at the political impact of government budget decisions.  And we puzzle over Trump's feckless ambush of South Africa's president.

We look at the ethics of Air Palace One. We talk about the $12 billion California state budget shortfall.  We examine the possible political  futures of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and former Vic President Kamala Harris.

We argue about age limits for politicians. We examine whether academia should bend to Trump's will.

We talk about President Trump's first 100  days, his failures and successes. We wonder whether he is steering the economy straight into a recession.

We track Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' chase for the  big bucks needed to close an $800 million budget gap. And we examine President Trump's war on academic freedom.
