A city that can’t manage its own affairs was always bound for trouble in hosting the 2028 Olympics, and now President Trump has given progressives the excuse they need to bail out. California’s redistricting process was never nonpartisan, now it’ll just be worse. Newsom is ready for coal, Sacramento State’s president hopes to “eliminate whiteness,” the Los Angeles Times can’t use the words “illegal immigrant,” and the fascinating secret of Pasadena-born celebrity chef Julia Child.
