California will once again play a big role in determining which party controls the U.S. Congress next year. That's in part because of the mid-decade redistricting battle that President Trump set off last summer, but it's also tied to a recent Supreme Court ruling that has prompted several Southern states to redraw their maps even after some voters have cast their ballots.  Marisa and Scott sit down with Guy to discuss how the Democratic Party's internal debates over generational change are shaping key congressional races.  Then they're joined by Erin Covey, editor of the Cook Political Report's coverage of the U.S. House of Representatives, to survey the national landscape and take a closer look at the high stakes districts back here in California.

This week's bonus show features Part II of our conversation with psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Bandy Lee. We dive into the phenomenon of “Trump contagion,” strategies for handling MAGA cultists in your life (including how to respond if harassed in public), whether Trump is the Antichrist (spoiler: he is!), and whether Trump staged the recent assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. This week's show also answers a pressing question from a listener. Democracy Defender Patreon supporter Melissa asks: “If you or anyone else has any good reads to recommend on the Green Party and its origins, would love to read it as they are clearly now a Kremlin owned and operated effort to divide and conquer the left.” Melissa, we've got you covered! Check out our Jill Stein Voter Guide Super Special. If you know someone considering a vote for Jill Stein, share this special episode highlighting her troubling track record of hypocrisy. Despite being labeled a “peace candidate,” Jill Stein is a multimillionaire profiting from investments in the military-industrial complexand fossil fuels. Interestingly, the European Green Party has called for Jill Stein to withdraw from the race and endorse Kamala Harris, stating: “With wars raging and authoritarianism on the rise, Europe needs Kamala Harris as President of the United States—a reliable partner who can take urgent action on the climate crisis and foster a just, sustainable peace in the Middle East.” The European Green family, which consists of Green parties across Europe, has emphasized that their values starkly contrast with those of Jill Stein's (fake) Green Party. In their statement, they criticized the US Greens for their connections to authoritarian leaders and diverging policies, particularly regarding Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine.  To catch the full episode, subscribe at Patreon.com/Gaslit.

10 years ago, Californians passed Prop. 47, which reclassified certain petty theft and drug possession crimes as misdemeanors instead of felonies. At the time, it was part of an effort to reduce prison overcrowding and promote alternatives to incarceration. Supporters of Prop. 36 say that it's time to roll back parts of that ballot measure in order to address drug crimes and retail theft. Opponents fear that it will take money away from rehabilitation services and revive the War on Drugs. Prop Fest is a collaboration from Bay Curious and The Bay podcasts, where we break down each of the 10 statewide propositions that will be on your November 2024 ballot.

In recent years, the expansion of Medi-Cal has allowed millions of low-income Californians to get access to health care. But while demand for services has increased dramatically, providers have not seen the same increase in payments, leading to many Medi-Cal patients being denied care.  Prop 35 would make an existing tax on health insurance companies permanent and restrict the allocation of the funds to certain Medi-Cal providers. Supporters say it will help address health inequities and guarantee Medi-Cal funding. Opponents worry that it creates winners and losers by restricting funds to certain providers.  Prop Fest is a collaboration from Bay Curious and The Bay podcasts, where we break down each of the 10 statewide propositions that will be on your November 2024 ballot.

Since 1995, California has banned certain types of local rent control laws — specifically, on single family homes, condos, properties built after 1995, and new tenants. If Prop. 33 passes, this ban would be repealed and cities would be allowed to impose these kinds of new rent control laws in the future.

California is an expensive place to live. That's why advocates for Prop. 32 believe it's important to raise the minimum wage for all employees to $18 an hour.

The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for convicted crimes. In dozens of states, including California, this exception has meant that thousands of incarcerated people have been forced to work or risk punishment, oftentimes for less than $1 per hour. Prop. 6 would amend the state constitution to ban forced labor in prisons.

Right now, passing a local bond measure requires a two-thirds majority to pass. Supporters of Prop. 5 say it should be easier to fund things like affordable housing or public infrastructure.
