While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Because of the highly politicized circumstances involving the Russia inquiry, I think an independent prosecutor would be advisable to place the inquiry above reproach. I believe it is equally important to appoint an independent prosecutor to purse the investigations that were swept under the rug during the Obama administration, including the use of the IRS to intimidate Tea Party members, the Clinton email scandal and how much top secret intelligence was lost to our enemies, and the unfolding scandal involving use of the NSA to spy on political opponents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep.

This move from the President is breathtaking in its brazen disregard for the independence of our justice system. Republican members of Congress who fail to stand up against this are complicit in this assault on our democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The founding fathers made Congress a check on the power of the Presidency. That check only functions when it is used without regard for political party. Congress – Democrats and Republicans – must stand up in a bipartisan defense of our institutions and insist that a special prosecutor be appointed before confirming a new director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Never before has it been clearer that the integrity of our democracy depends on an independent commission to investigate Russian interference in our election and a special prosecutor at the Department of Justice to follow an investigation to wherever – and whomever – it leads. Anyone who stands in the way of an independent investigation denies the American people the answers they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep.

We must leave no stone unturned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"The decision by a President whose campaign associates are under investigation by the FBI for collusion with Russia to fire the man overseeing that investigation, upon the recommendation of an Attorney General who has recused himself from that investigation, raises profound questions about whether the White House is brazenly interfering in a criminal matter. While I had deep reservations with the way Director Comey handled the investigation into the Clinton emails which I made clear at the time and since, to take this action without addressing the profound conflict of interest of the President and Attorney General harkens back to a similarly tainted decision by President Nixon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The same President who has called the investigation into the Russian hacking of our democracy and the potential complicity of his campaign a ‘fake,’ cannot pretend to have made such a decision uninfluenced by his concerns over Comey's continued involvement in the investigation. It is more imperative than ever that an independent prosecutor be appointed to restore a modicum of public confidence – now completely lacking – that the criminal investigation will continue without further interference by the White House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep.

Because of the highly politicized circumstances involving the Russia inquiry, I think an independent prosecutor would be advisable to place the inquiry above reproach. I believe it is equally important to appoint an independent prosecutor to purse the investigations that were swept under the rug during the Obama administration, including the use of the IRS to intimidate Tea Party members, the Clinton email scandal and how much top secret intelligence was lost to our enemies, and the unfolding scandal involving use of the NSA to spy on political opponents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep.

Republican members of Congress who fail to stand up against this are complicit in this assault on our democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The founding fathers made Congress a check on the power of the Presidency. That check only functions when it is used without regard for political party. Congress – Democrats and Republicans – must stand up in a bipartisan defense of our institutions and insist that a special prosecutor be appointed before confirming a new director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Never before has it been clearer that the integrity of our democracy depends on an independent commission to investigate Russian interference in our election and a special prosecutor at the Department of Justice to follow an investigation to wherever – and whomever – it leads. Anyone who stands in the way of an independent investigation denies the American people the answers they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep.

While I had deep reservations with the way Director Comey handled the investigation into the Clinton emails which I made clear at the time and since, to take this action without addressing the profound conflict of interest of the President and Attorney General harkens back to a similarly tainted decision by President Nixon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The same President who has called the investigation into the Russian hacking of our democracy and the potential complicity of his campaign a ‘fake,’ cannot pretend to have made such a decision uninfluenced by his concerns over Comey's continued involvement in the investigation. It is more imperative than ever that an independent prosecutor be appointed to restore a modicum of public confidence – now completely lacking – that the criminal investigation will continue without further interference by the White House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rep.

They are still a threat. We have North Korea, that wants to do us in. We have China, who is a great, great threat to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After those objections were raised, Bonta told his colleagues that the legislation includes a provision that allows the dismissal of any state employee “if that public employee advocates or is knowingly a member” of an organization that works toward “the overthrow of the government of the United States or any state by force or violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Northern California chairman for the Communist Party USA, Juan Lopez, has pushed to roll back similar bans in recent years — including one that forbids teachers from being in his party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Communist Party isn’t a registered political party in California, Lopez \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybulletin.com/article/zz/20130113/NEWS/130118554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the Daily Bulletin\u003c/a> in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

They are still a threat. We have North Korea, that wants to do us in. We have China, who is a great, great threat to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After those objections were raised, Bonta told his colleagues that the legislation includes a provision that allows the dismissal of any state employee “if that public employee advocates or is knowingly a member” of an organization that works toward “the overthrow of the government of the United States or any state by force or violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Northern California chairman for the Communist Party USA, Juan Lopez, has pushed to roll back similar bans in recent years — including one that forbids teachers from being in his party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Communist Party isn’t a registered political party in California, Lopez \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybulletin.com/article/zz/20130113/NEWS/130118554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the Daily Bulletin\u003c/a> in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.
