Turmoil in the Trump Administration

In signs of continuing turmoil in the Trump administration, the president announced today that he is replacing White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly. And in the early hours Friday, the Senate’s latest attempt to dismantle Obamacare failed after three key Republicans voted against it. Earlier this week, President Trump announced via Twitter that he would bar transgender people from serving openly in the United States military.

David Chiu Interview

Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders say they are turning their attention to the state’s housing crisis when they return from a midsummer recess. California Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco) discusses the legislation that he’s backing.

Artist Sophie Calle

French artist Sophie Calle’s new exhibition at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture explores themes of disappearance and loss. Calle has a strong connection to the Bay Area -- she got her start in Bolinas, where she recently made the unusual move of buying herself a grave plot. KQED Senior Arts Editor Chloe Veltman caught up with Calle among the gravestones.
