Democrats have long had their sights on Congressional District 22 in the Central Valley, where Republican Rep. David Valadao has managed to hold onto the Democratic-leaning district for most of the past 13 years. Cook Political Report lists it as the only toss-up House race in the state after last year's redistricting measure flipped five Republican-held seats blue. Now, two Democrats are competing for the chance to face Valadao in the November general election: moderate state Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains and progressive college professor Randy Villegas. CalMatters politics reporter Maya C. Miller joins Scott, Marisa and Guy to break down the key differences between the candidates, their campaign attacks and the issues that matter most to voters in the district.

California launched Project Homekey after the pandemic to quickly create new housing and get homeless people off the streets. Over the last few years the state has spent $3.8 billion converting existing properties such as old hotels and apartment buildings into housing that could be built fast and at a lower cost than ground-up construction. But the program has had mixed results according to a CalMatters investigation that found that about half of the development projects in the program either came in late, went over budget or were never built. We'll talk about how well Project Homekey is working, and what we can learn from its successes and failures. Guests: Marisa Kendall, homelessness reporter, CalMatters Ryan Finnigan, associate research director focused on homelessness in California, Terner Center for Housing Innovation, UC Berkeley Learn more about your ad choices.

Dolly Parton has solidified her status as Americas most beloved public figure according to New Country 101.5 just days ago on April 14 capturing hearts nationwide with her timeless sparkle and generosity. Shes been lighting up headlines amid her milestone 80th year as Kingsport Times News reports noting her overcoming recent health concerns while celebrating the 60th anniversary of her marriage to Carl Dean the 40th for Dollywood and the 30th for her Imagination Library which has now gifted over 200 million books worldwide. In a big win for her literacy legacy CalMatters detailed on April 16 how California lawmakers redirected millions from a bungled state program to the Dollywood Foundation after a nonprofit squandered over 1 million without delivering books. The foundation stepped in serving 160000 kids and distributing nearly 3 million volumes proving Dollys vision triumphs even in rocky partnerships. No fresh public appearances or social media posts popped in the last few days but her Imagination Library dominates chatter with LAist echoing the California saga and Energy Central praising her lessons in compassion for customer engagement. Speculation swirls on unconfirmed health recoveries but verified sources confirm shes thriving at 80 poised for biographical immortality through philanthropy and cultural staying power. No major headlines broke in the past 24 hours but her enduring influence shows no signs of fading.Thanks for listening listener and please subscribe to never miss an update on Dolly Parton and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

A CalMatters column says California’s governor race looks less like a sprint and more like a game of chicken. With a crowded field and no clear Democratic front‑runner pulling away, candidates are hesitating to go all‑in as the primary rapidly approaches. California media outlets are suing to unseal secret warrants used to seize more than 600,000 ballots in Riverside County.

Durante el último año, agentes de distintos departamentos y agencias del gobierno federal han sido asignados a operaciones migratorias en los Estados Unidos. Muchos de estos agentes, que llevan máscaras que ocultan su identidad, son de la Patrulla Fronteriza, que suelen estar desplegados a lo largo de las fronteras del país. Lejos de donde se espera que operen, muchos de estos agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza (CBP por sus siglas en inglés) han sido reasignados a ciudades como Los Ángeles, Chicago y Minneapolis. Basándose en más de 85 horas de material de vídeo, expedientes judiciales e informes de incidentes, los medios CalMatters, Evident Media y Bellingcat investigaron y siguieron los pasos de un grupo de agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza a medida que se desplazaban de ciudad en ciudad a lo largo de 2025. Así que para hablar de esta investigación, cómo un pequeño grupo de agentes ha sido identificado y qué revelan sus acciones sobre la situación actual, invitamos a Sergio Olmos, un periodista de investigación del medio CalMatters y quien lideró esta investigación visual.
The U.S. and Israel's war in Iran is leading to a global surge in gas prices, including in California, where the average is now $5.88 per gallon according to AAA. While the war with Iran is the main reason prices have increased, California has had more expensive gas for years, in part to policies that are meant to help the state reach its climate goals. Alejandro Lazo with CalMatters explains why gas is so expensive here. Links: California passed a law to curb spikes in gas prices. Why isn't it using those powers now?

In 2024, California voters approved Proposition 1. That ballot measure set aside billions of dollars to add more mental health and addiction treatment beds across the state.

Schneier stresses that AI's trajectory is largely shaped by a small group of powerful tech companies and calls for “public AI” as a counterbalance.AI is a tool, not a force. Whether AI supports democracy or authoritarianism depends entirely on how humans use it.Citizens can be empowered by AI. Projects from CalMatters and make.org show how AI can help amplify civic voices and improve transparency.Urgent regulation is needed.

“The hunting of Latinos.” That’s how the mayor of Los Angeles described the last few months of increasingly violent immigration raids. They’re the brainchild of a Border Patrol chief who went rogue. In response, these tactics have created a swell of anti-ICE pushback, including from the highest levels of government, and support for the communities affected. With politicians running up against the full force of the federal government – with the backing of the Supreme Court – community is what protects you. This is a special collaboration with CalMatters.

Gavin Newsom (D) has done a flip-flop on oil production, with the state facing steep gas price hikes, and is now trying to work with the fossil fuel industry to produce more fuel rather than stopping it. The abrupt shift is a dramatic one for a governor who has attacked the fossil fuel industry throughout his six-plus years in office, and who has to appease climate change activists in his state and the Democratic Party. The main reason for Newsom's about-face is the prospect of rising gas prices, thanks to taxes (backed by Newsom), rising environmental fuel standards (backed by Newsom), and the departure of oil refineries. Some experts have predicted prices could rise as high as $8 or $9 per gallon, making the nation's costliest gas market even pricier, and hurting the middle class — just as Newsom is trying to boost his national profile. CalMatters.org reports: Source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1957179208343400777 have declined by ~40% over the last month. This comes despite the ongoing US-China tariff truce, which was extended for another 90 days on Tuesday. In reality, average US tariff rates on Chinese goods still stand at ~55%, according to Bloomberg. US-China trade is slowing.
