His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Her cub, Bounce, born this past winter, is following her lead. Now, California wildlife officials say enough is enough. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has approved a plan to capture and euthanize Hope, citing repeated break-ins and escalating property damage. But local advocates are fighting to save her, arguing that humans are the ones who need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent afternoon, a crowd gathered in a Tahoe Keys backyard. High up in a pine tree sat a black bear and her cub — not Hope and Bounce — but a reminder of how common these encounters have become. “They’re up there huffing and puffing,” said Kathi Zollinger, a volunteer with the BEAR League, a nonprofit that educates locals about living safely alongside bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zollinger and her team had rushed to the scene after receiving a hotline call from a homeowner. Her job is to scare the bears away without hurting them, usually with paintball guns, loud noises, or simply waiting them out. “We’re using paintball guns and yelling at them and doing other things to haze them,” Zollinger said. “The goal isn’t to harm them, just to get them back into the forest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has about 60,000 black bears, and as more homes are built in forested areas, the chances of running into one are only increasing. The department plans to euthanize Hope if they are able to safely capture her. Her cub, Bounce, would be taken in and rehabilitated. Many residents don’t agree with that plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Regulators Fail To Take Action To Better Protect Stoneworkers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At a meeting this week of the state board that adopts workplace safety rules, they failed to take up the idea of implementing new rules or regulations for workers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064693/california-doctors-urge-ban-on-engineered-stone-as-silicosis-cases-surge\">who cut engineered stone. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicosis cases are surging in California’s countertop fabrication industry. The often deadly lung disease is linked to inhaling toxic dust. Medical and occupational safety experts warn that current regulations won’t protect hundreds more relatively young workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1,000 to 1,500 stoneworkers in California could develop silicosis within the next decade, leading to roughly 285 deaths, according to California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA.

Her cub, Bounce, born this past winter, is following her lead. Now, California wildlife officials say enough is enough. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has approved a plan to capture and euthanize Hope, citing repeated break-ins and escalating property damage. But local advocates are fighting to save her, arguing that humans are the ones who need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent afternoon, a crowd gathered in a Tahoe Keys backyard. High up in a pine tree sat a black bear and her cub — not Hope and Bounce — but a reminder of how common these encounters have become. “They’re up there huffing and puffing,” said Kathi Zollinger, a volunteer with the BEAR League, a nonprofit that educates locals about living safely alongside bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zollinger and her team had rushed to the scene after receiving a hotline call from a homeowner. Her job is to scare the bears away without hurting them, usually with paintball guns, loud noises, or simply waiting them out. “We’re using paintball guns and yelling at them and doing other things to haze them,” Zollinger said. “The goal isn’t to harm them, just to get them back into the forest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In Los Angeles, a Latino family sued their landlord and a real estate agent over illegal eviction, only for an attorney to suggest they were \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-07-23/latino-tenants-sued-their-landlord\">likely to be detained\u003c/a> by immigration agents before the case could go to trial.

But the impact of those operations stretches further: The fear of deportation alone has discouraged many immigrants from exercising their rights as tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard enough to be a tenant in California, where rents are \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumeraffairs.com/moving/best-states-for-renters.html\">among the highest\u003c/a> in the country. Immigrants who are living illegally in the country often lack a reliable credit history and \u003ca href=\"https://latino.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Stemming-the-Rise-of-Latino-Homelessness-2-1.pdf\">work low-paying jobs with tenuous benefits\u003c/a>.

The fear of retaliation from landlords has created what advocates describe as a chilling effect on immigrant renters, which “substantially undercuts” California’s strong tenant protection laws, said David Hall, co-directing tenants’ rights attorney with Centro Legal de La Raza, a nonprofit legal aid group in Oakland. “You can have the most protective laws in the world, but if people are afraid to enforce those laws … it’s like for those people, those laws don’t exist,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12030198/prewrite-kamala-harris-enters-california-governor-race-upending-democratic-landscape\">\u003cstrong>Kamala Harris Won’t Run For California Governor\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Former Vice President \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris\u003c/a> announced Wednesday that she’s not running to be California’s next governor in 2026, when Gov.

In a statement on Wednesday, Harris said after “deep reflection,” she will not be pursuing elected office “for now” — leaving the door open for a potential third presidential campaign. Her decision will help unfreeze fundraising for other Democrats already running for governor, as many major donors were waiting for Harris’ decision. “It finally begins the race; it’s almost like the starting gun truly goes off now,” said Democratic strategist Kevin Liao. “Now I expect these donors are getting plenty of calls from the other candidates starting today, and it really allows these candidates to flesh out their vision for the state without this looming presence of Harris.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats already had a strong field of gubernatorial candidates, including former Health and Human Services Secretary \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034105/xavier-becerra-enters-california-governors-race-citing-break-glass-moment\">Xavier Becerra\u003c/a>, Lt.

In Los Angeles, a Latino family sued their landlord and a real estate agent over illegal eviction, only for an attorney to suggest they were \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-07-23/latino-tenants-sued-their-landlord\">likely to be detained\u003c/a> by immigration agents before the case could go to trial. In Oakland, renters have been \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2025/07/10/fruitvale-oakland-renters-chavis-immigration-texts/\">asked if they were “legal”\u003c/a> by a landlord seeking to push them out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, has scooped up swaths of household breadwinners, leaving their families scrambling to afford rent while grieving their absent loved ones. But the impact of those operations stretches further: The fear of deportation alone has discouraged many immigrants from exercising their rights as tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard enough to be a tenant in California, where rents are \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumeraffairs.com/moving/best-states-for-renters.html\">among the highest\u003c/a> in the country. Immigrants who are living illegally in the country often lack a reliable credit history and \u003ca href=\"https://latino.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Stemming-the-Rise-of-Latino-Homelessness-2-1.pdf\">work low-paying jobs with tenuous benefits\u003c/a>.

The fear of retaliation from landlords has created what advocates describe as a chilling effect on immigrant renters, which “substantially undercuts” California’s strong tenant protection laws, said David Hall, co-directing tenants’ rights attorney with Centro Legal de La Raza, a nonprofit legal aid group in Oakland. “You can have the most protective laws in the world, but if people are afraid to enforce those laws … it’s like for those people, those laws don’t exist,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12030198/prewrite-kamala-harris-enters-california-governor-race-upending-democratic-landscape\">\u003cstrong>Kamala Harris Won’t Run For California Governor\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Former Vice President \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris\u003c/a> announced Wednesday that she’s not running to be California’s next governor in 2026, when Gov.

In a statement on Wednesday, Harris said after “deep reflection,” she will not be pursuing elected office “for now” — leaving the door open for a potential third presidential campaign. Her decision will help unfreeze fundraising for other Democrats already running for governor, as many major donors were waiting for Harris’ decision. “It finally begins the race; it’s almost like the starting gun truly goes off now,” said Democratic strategist Kevin Liao. “Now I expect these donors are getting plenty of calls from the other candidates starting today, and it really allows these candidates to flesh out their vision for the state without this looming presence of Harris.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats already had a strong field of gubernatorial candidates, including former Health and Human Services Secretary \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034105/xavier-becerra-enters-california-governors-race-citing-break-glass-moment\">Xavier Becerra\u003c/a>, Lt.

"content": "\u003cp>Kevin Faulconer, a fiscally conservative but socially moderate Republican who served as San Diego's mayor for six years, announced Monday night that he's running for governor of California — whether or not a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11854170/recall-newsom-campaign-reaches-1-million-signatures-proponents-say\">pending recall\u003c/a> effort against Gov. Gavin Newsom qualifies for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer, who formed an exploratory campaign last month, made it official on a slickly produced 2 1/2-minute \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSsp5JrSaik&feature=youtu.be\">video\u003c/a> released tonight. He will either challenge Newsom in 2022, when the governor's term expires, or sooner if the recall qualifies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSsp5JrSaik&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video begins with Faulconer asking, \"What happened to the promise of California?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes on to site a litany of problems the state is facing, including Newsom's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine distribution, massive incompetence at the state agency that handles unemployment checks, income inequality and homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has become the land of broken promises,\" Faulconer says, concluding that \"I know we can clean up California and that's why I'm running for governor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 54-year-old Republican is promising a \"California comeback,\" saying he will make Newsom's much-criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic the centerpiece of his initial pitch to voters. Faulconer has criticized Newsom's management of the pandemic as erratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, we've had some businesses in California that have been open and shut five different times,\" Faulconer said on \u003ca href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-san-diego-mayor-exploratory-committee-challenge-gov-newsom-raised-1-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News\u003c/a> last month. \"The fact that we had outdoor dining shut these past several months, again, when there was no science behind the transmission of the virus in outdoor dining settings, I think speaks volumes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's why so many Californians up and down the state are frustrated and at their wits end,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer enters the governor's race after declining to run in 2018, despite the urging of top party leaders who thought his relatively moderate philosophy on issues like immigration, LGBT and abortion rights ,and climate change would appeal to independent voters and more conservative Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Newsom crushed Republican John Cox in that election 62% to 38%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer has been involved in the latest campaign to recall Newsom, which has until March 17 to turn in about 1.5 million valid signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although largely avoiding partisan politics as mayor of San Diego, Faulconer intensified his criticism of Newsom after the governor's widely covered — and lambasted — \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/18/politics/gavin-newsom-french-laundry-california-governor/index.html\">dinner in November\u003c/a> at the posh French Laundry restaurant in Napa, where he joined lobbyists and others for a birthday party with guests who did not wear masks. The ill-timed visit came as Newsom was urging Californians to stay at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He can dine on a $350 meal at one [of] California's fanciest restaurants during the worst recession in generations. But you definitely can't,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Kevin_Faulconer/status/1327472689875800064\">Faulconer posted on Twitter\u003c/a> in November. \"Can you believe this? I can't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Kevin_Faulconer/status/1327472689875800064\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer served two terms on the San Diego City Council before being elected mayor in a 2014 special election, following the resignation of Mayor Bob Filner amid allegations of sexual misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer won a full four-year term in 2016, making San Diego the largest U.S. city to have a Republican mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As mayor, he worked with the majority-Democratic City Council to implement his agenda. He signed a series of city budgets that financed libraries, fire stations, parks and road paving.

The annex was completed in 1952 and — along with the drab windowless pressroom — could eventually get a face-lift with \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article213142084.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">money in the new state budget\u003c/a>. The room isn’t much, but there is one stylish thing in there — the chairs journalists sit in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first glance, the bulky yellow, brown and tan chairs just seem impractical. They’re heavy and hard to move and really hurt when they smash against your fingers. But, they’re also a classic midcentury design and in pretty good shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678249\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678249\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Mid-century modern chairs sit behind rows of skinny tables in the Capitol press conference room, 1190.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31654_20180618_111527-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Midcentury modern chairs sit behind rows of skinny tables in the Capitol press conference room, 1190. \u003ccite>(Katie Orr/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At a press conference in the spring, several journalists were discussing how much the chairs might be worth.
