California’s women’s prisons house just under 4,000 people, and since the state’s Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act (SB 132) took effect, 48 men have transferred into those facilities, a policy decision that is now the subject of a federal investigation.

Catalina Island’s deer have been part of the island long enough that most residents have never known it without them. The Catalina Island Conservancy, which manages most of the island’s land, says the deer are non-native and are damaging the habitat that native species depend on. Their position is that removing every deer from the island is the only way to restore it.

Los Angeles property owners have until June 2 to vote on an assessment that would nearly quadruple what they currently pay for streetlights, a decision cities across California are increasingly facing.

The 30-year Treasury yield is at its highest point since the pre-financial crisis era. Corporate earnings are up 27 percent year over year. Consumer sentiment is near historic lows. These three facts are not in conflict. They are the same story told from three different angles, and most market participants are reading only one of them.

Most inflation models run through oil. But the supply chain disruption now moving through coffee, sugar, and cotton is operating on a different clock and has not yet shown up in the broader inflation read.

Eileen Wang’s guilty plea reads like a local story. The mayor of Arcadia agreed to her federal charges of acting as an illegal foreign agent for China. Joshua Philipp, senior journalist for The Epoch Times, said it is something else.

In California a legal loophole has turned the Americans with Disabilities Act into a settlement machine, targeting small businesses, many already in compliance. While the cost to businesses is real, the benefit to people with disabilities is far less clear. Who is the law actually protecting?

The United States lost more than factories when it outsourced manufacturing. It lost the procurement infrastructure needed to source domestically at scale. Now, foreign investment commitments are arriving at a pace not seen in the previous four years.
