This week officially marked the first 100 days of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in office.

Bass touted her homeless stats, but were they hopeful, or just hype?

"Inside the Issues: The Podcast" hosts Alex Cohen and Sara Sadhwani discuss the impact she has had on the city so far.

And they look at the political implications of the LA Unified School District strike, which overshadowed Bass' 100th day when members of the Service Employees International Union Local 99 took to the picket lines amid stalled labor talks to demand a salary boost.

Then, former LA Mayor Eric Garcetti — who facilitated the end of the 2019 teachers' strike — finally got the votes to become the next United States ambassador to India following a long confirmation process.
