From Steve Bannon’s departure to President Trump’s Monday evening announcement about the war in Afghanistan, there’s a lot of news coming out of Washington. And things haven’t been quiet in Sacramento either: With the state legislature back in session, California’s GOP Assembly leader Chad Mayes is facing a bid to oust him after he supported Democratic climate legislation. In this hour of Forum, we discuss the latest political news, from Sacramento to D.C.
