2 дні тому

—

How tariffs and a trade war are impacting California ports. Also, the Trump Administration ends Temporary Protected Status for Afghans. Finally, the Celebration of Trails Month kicks off in Nevada and Yuba counties. How Tariffs are Impacting CA Ports California is home to the busiest ports in the country - a crucial piece to the exchange of goods with other countries, notably exports and imports between the Golden State and China. But President Trump’s volatile tariff policy is having an outsized effect on California jobs, as well as revenue on and off the ports. CalMatters Economy Reporter Levi Sumagaysay shares her reporting on where things stand now. CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. Sacramento’s Afghan Community Amid Trump Admin Sacramento is home to one of the largest communities of Afghan refugees in the country. Following the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan after a 20-year war, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. were given Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in response to the country falling under Taliban rule. That protected status is coming to an end. The Trump Administration announced it is terminating TPS for Afghanistan, effective July 14. Opening Doors CEO Jessie Mabry and board member Khoban Kochai , who emigrated from Afghanistan in the 1980s, talk about how this decision is creating fear and uncertainty among Sacramento’s Afghan community. Bear Yuba Land Trust Hike Challenge If you’ve ever considered exploring the many trails that wind through Nevada and Yuba counties, June is the perfect month to do it. The Bear Yuba Land Trust is hosting its month-long Celebration of Trails with a series of hiking challenges, artist-led walk and talks, and even a nature-inspired dance performance. Annette Muller is the Communications Director for the Bear Yuba Land Trust and is here today to preview all the different things happening this month.…

Triple Digit River Safety | Remembering Journalist Stan Atkinson | Solano County Butterfly Festival

3 дні тому

—

River safety ahead of the first triple digits of the season. Also, remembering legendary local journalist Stan Atkinson. Finally, the Bay Area Butterfly Festival in Vallejo. Triple Digit River Safety Triple digit heat is forecast across large swaths of Northern California Friday and Saturday, and for many that may mean a trip to one of our rivers or lakes. But those waterways can be deceiving, especially if you’re not a strong swimmer. Today, we’re going to talk with Safe Kids Coordinator Jennifer Rubin and Sac State Aquatic Center Director Brian Dulgar about water safety . Remembering Journalist Stan Atkinson Stan Atkinson was a founding face of Sacramento news. He was known as the reporter who went where the story was. A Sacramento Bee profile called him The man who owned Sacramento . He joined a fledgling KCRA in 1957 - at the beginning of the TV station’s broadcasting history . And he retired from KOVR (now CBS13) in 1999 . Both are bookends to an extraordinary career that shaped generations of journalists - including Lester Holt . His family announced that Stan passed away this weekend at 92 years old - survived by his wife, four children, 14 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren. We are going to spend some time learning about a man who defined local news, but was also much more - an Army veteran who dedicated decades of community service raising millions of dollars for Sacramento charities and organizations. Joining Insight is one of his sons, Mike Atkinson. We are also joined by former Insight Host Beth Ruyak who worked with Stan at KCRA and credits him as a pivotal force in her career. Solano County Butterfly Festival This weekend a celebration of monarch butterflies will be held in Solano County, seeking to inspire and encourage visitors to help their populations recover from drastic declines. The second annual Bay Area Butterfly Festival will take place on Sunday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. along the Mare Island Promenade in Vallejo, and features presentations, workshops, demonstrations and more. Sarah McKibbin is a Habitat Restoration Project Manager with the Solano Resources Conservation District and joins us to talk about how the festival aims to empower people of all ages, with a goal of turning Vallejo into an ecotourism destination.…

4 дні тому

POLITICO’s California Playbook joins with the latest on state politics. Also, the challenges of the general public to weigh in on legislation. The Sacramento Book Festival is back for its second year. POLITICO’s California Playbook Several votes in Congress could have significant impacts on California. The GOP-controlled House voted last week to pass a budget bill, which could remove Medicaid coverage for millions of Californians. The Senate also voted to block the state’s landmark zero-emission vehicle mandate. And on the state level, lawmakers voted last week to kill or gut hundreds of bills as they aim to close a $12 billion budget deficit. Dustin Gardiner is the co-author of POLITICO’s California Playbook and joins Insight with the latest on state politics. Public Cutoff During Capitol Testimonies California lawmakers have introduced more than 2,000 bills so far this year and many are going through jam-packed committee hearings. During these hearings, paid lobbyists, activist organizations and the general public are allowed to testify in support or against a bill. But securing time is not guaranteed, and on many occasions regular people who travel long distances to testify get cut off after a few seconds . CalMatters Digital Democracy Reporter Ryan Sabalow and CapRadio Politics Reporter Laura Fitzgerald join us with their reporting on the challenges of the general public to weigh in on legislation . CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. Sacramento Book Festival The Sacramento Book Festival is back for its second year.

A battle over Prop 35 Medi-Cal funding in the governor’s May budget revision. Also, a CalMatters investigation finds that Covered CA released private health data to LinkedIn and Google. Finally, the Sacramento County Fair. Battle over Prop 35 Funding in May Revise Gov. Gavin Newsom’s May Revision to the upcoming state budget has sparked backlash among some healthcare allies. To close the projected $12 billion shortfall, Gov. Newsom proposed cuts to Planned Parenthood and Medi-Cal - which offers health insurance to limited income residents. Specifically, Newsom would like to shift funding from Prop 35 to the general fund - which promised to give a long-awaited pay bump to Medi-Cal providers via an already existing tax on health care plans. POLITICO California Health Care Reporter Rachel Bluth joins us with her reporting and the legal battle that may ensue. Covered CA Released Sensitive Health Data Millions of people use Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace, to shop for plans under the Affordable Care Act. But a recent investigation uncovered that the website had been sending sensitive user information - such as if someone was blind, pregnant, transgender or a possible victim of domestic abuse - to LinkedIn through specific site trackers. The discovery also triggered a class-action lawsuit against LinkedIn and Google, alleging they improperly received confidential data. Investigative Reporter Colin Lecher and Journalism Engineer Tomas Apodaca from The Markup and CalMatters talk about how that data was shared, and what people should know to keep their information secure. CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state. Sacramento County Fair For many 4H students, the county fair is the culmination of months of hard work raising and caring for various farm animals, and it’s a chance to hang out with friends and show off their livestock skills. Fair season kicks off this weekend at the Sacramento County Fair , which runs Thursday through Monday at Cal Expo. Sacramento County Fair CEO Matt Cranford joins us, along with two Elk Grove High School agricultural students, to preview the upcoming event.…

Following the governor’s May revision and a projected deficit of $12 billion, state lawmakers have a month to pass a balanced budget. Also, challenges facing California’s tourism industry. Finally, the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus. What’s Next After the May Revise It’s crunch time at the state Capitol. State lawmakers have about a month to come up with a balanced budget, and close a projected $12 billion shortfall. Last week, Gov. Newsom released his May Revision, which laid out how his office would prioritize spending and cuts. But ultimately legislators get a sound budget on paper and present it to the governor for his signature, ahead of a June 15 deadline - or else they don’t get paid. CapRadio Politics Reporters Laura Fitzgerald and Megan Myscofski join us with more on where lawmakers align with the governor, and what big unknowns still remain. California’s State of Tourism California touts itself as the #1 tourist destination in the country. And 2024 was record-breaking. But this year, less people are visiting the Golden State. The biggest decline is international travel, including big drops from Canadians, as politics sour once stable relationships. Ryan Becker is the Senior Vice President of Communications and Strategy at Visit California and joins us with their travel forecast for 2025 , as well as some tips for locals to enjoy their home state. 40 Years of the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus The Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus has been entertaining audiences and providing a community for LGBTQ+ performers for 40 years. They’re about to celebrate this anniversary year with a series of concerts running through June. This first takes place this Sunday, May 25 at Southside Park. Artistic Director Alex Heetland and Board Secretary and Singer Andrew Gibout tell us what to expect from the chorus this summer.…

Birthright Citizenship Oral Arguments | POLITICO on May Revise | ‘In a Nutshell: It's a Beautiful Day’ Storytelling Series

16 днів тому

The Supreme Court hears oral arguments related to the birthright citizenship dispute. Also, POLITICO breaks down the governor’s May Revision and budget shortfall. Finally, the monthly storytelling series “In a Nutshell.” Birthright Citizenship Oral Arguments The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this morning related to the legal dispute over birthright citizenship. The case stems from President Trump’s executive order challenging the interpretation of the 14th Amendment and eliminates automatic citizenship for people born to noncitizens or temporary residents. The order was quickly challenged and blocked by federal district judges. But the case before the Supreme Court isn’t about citizenship, rather whether lower courts have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions to block presidential orders. Leslie Gielow Jacobs is an Anthony Kennedy Professor at McGeorge School of Law and Kevin R. Johnson is a Mabie-Apallas Professor of Public Interest Law and Chicana/o Studies at UC Davis. They join us to break down today’s oral arguments, which could reshape the system of checks and balances between the executive and judicial branches. POLITICO on May Revise POLITICO’s California Budget and Education Reporter Eric He joins Insight to break down the major elements of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s May Revision, as well as the changes that could emerge as lawmakers work to hammer out a projected $12 billion budget shortfall before the June 15 deadline. ‘In a Nutshell: It's a Beautiful Day’ Storytelling Series All good stories happen on a beautiful day, right?
