"content": "\u003cp>The post of California attorney general may be one of the most coveted political positions in the state, if not the country. It has served as a launching pad to higher office for several former attorneys general, including Vice President Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, like so many before him, current Attorney General Xavier Becerra is moving up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11849981/biden-picks-ca-attorney-general-to-be-first-latino-health-secretary\">has been tapped\u003c/a> as President Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. His confirmation is likely now that Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/06/953712195/democrats-move-closer-to-senate-control-as-counting-continues-in-georgia\">control the U.S. Senate\u003c/a>. Becerra’s resignation would mean Gov. Gavin Newsom gets to pick a new attorney general for the state. Democratic consultant Brian Brokaw, who’s worked for both Harris and Newsom, said competition is stiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a very powerful position and it’s a very unique position,” Brokaw said. “There’s a reason why it is so sought after now, and every election year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an old joke that AG actually stands for \u003cem>aspiring governor\u003c/em>. That may be one reason Brokaw said the job is drawing a lot of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I certainly know there are people in Washington who would be willing and interested in coming back to serve in the role,” he said. “I think there are a lot of people in Sacramento and throughout the state who are interested in the position.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democrats well known around the state Capitol have been mentioned as contenders, including Sacramento Mayor and former state Senate President Darrell Steinberg, and Oakland Assemblyman Rob Bonta. Both have good relationships with Newsom. The names of U.S. Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, and Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, are also in the mix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women in the California Legislature are pushing Newsom to \u003ca href=\"https://womenscaucus.legislature.ca.gov/news/2021-01-07-democratic-legislative-womens-caucus-releases-statement-regarding-attorney-general\">appoint a woman\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Politics Coverage' tag='politics']Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson said Newsom will likely want someone he feels comfortable with. He may take gender or racial diversity into consideration, and, Levinson said, Newsom has shown he likes to break barriers with his appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just think that Gov. Newsom really loves being a king or queen maker,” she said. “And he wants to put his stamp on the next big up and comer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘A Very, Very Different Job’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Whoever the pick, he or she won’t be in the same situation as Becerra was.

Becerra’s resignation would mean Gov. Gavin Newsom gets to pick a new attorney general for the state. Democratic consultant Brian Brokaw, who’s worked for both Harris and Newsom, said competition is stiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a very powerful position and it’s a very unique position,” Brokaw said. “There’s a reason why it is so sought after now, and every election year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an old joke that AG actually stands for \u003cem>aspiring governor\u003c/em>. That may be one reason Brokaw said the job is drawing a lot of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I certainly know there are people in Washington who would be willing and interested in coming back to serve in the role,” he said. “I think there are a lot of people in Sacramento and throughout the state who are interested in the position.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Over the last four years, California has embraced the mantle of legal opposition to the Trump administration, with Attorney General Xavier Becerra filing more than 100 lawsuits alone and in conjunction with other states on issues ranging from the travel ban, immigration, LGBT rights, the environment and women's health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump returned the favor, targeting California's policies on immigration, sanctuary cities, forest management and wildfires, mail-in voting and much, much more. The conflict played to each party's base, but the net result was a fraught relationship that surely did not benefit the people of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might say the relationship was poisoned right from the start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You look at what they're doing in California, how they're treating people,\" Trump said early in his administration. \"They don't treat their people as well as they treat illegal immigrants.

It was all part of the playbook, like calling our presidential election rigged. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like California, the same person votes many times you probably heard about that,\" Trump said last year. \"They always like to say, 'Oh, that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not true, of course. But baseless conspiracy theories like that one animated the violent mob of Trump supporters that stormed the U.S. Capitol to \"stop the steal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris prepare to take office, what will change, both substantively and politically?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It feels like waking up from a nightmare,\" said said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. \"And not just the nightmare being over, but being in a beautiful dream.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti – one of five co-chairs for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration committee – remembers how the Obama/Biden administration worked with cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All the time they were reaching out. What’s working in L.A.? What's working in California? How can we amplify that? How can we scale that up?

What we have now are people who know us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>High Hopes for High-Speed Rail\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Jerry Brown was governor for six of Obama’s eight years as president, before Trump took over in 2017. He said while there was a big difference under Obama, \"It's not an open sesame to whatever you want because government is a structure. However, having a line of communication can help – it’s just an obvious thing. It’s better to have friends than enemies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In particular, Brown said it will make a huge difference having Biden embrace what California is doing on the environment, rather than trying to stop or undo policies in the courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s hoping the administration’s pivot on infrastructure, COVID-19 relief funding to state and local governments and climate change will finally get federal support for one of his priorities: high-speed rail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I'm hoping that Joe will put the billions into California needed to get the high-speed rail as the first instance from the Central Valley, from Fresno, Merced, right into San Jose and Silicon Valley and right up the line there to San Francisco. That's a real possibility,\" Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Gov.

"content": "\u003cp>One day ahead of the federal holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Georgia Sen.-elect Rev. Raphael Warnock took to the pulpit of the civil rights icon’s spiritual home to preach a message of equity, integrity, possibility and inclusivity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnock, who served as the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta for more than a decade before his election to the Senate, spoke at length about “God’s vision of the land” in a livestreamed sermon that paid tribute to King’s work and the ways in which it continues today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wide-ranging sermon touched on a number of issues related to politics, the economy, the criminal justice system and public health. Warnock offered words of hope from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2040%3A4&version=KJV\">Book of Isaiah\u003c/a>, asserting that God’s vision of the land is one of equality, integrity, possibility and unity, even if societal divisions have made it appear blurry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re accustomed to privilege, parity and equity and equality may feel like oppression,” he said. “And that’s what the current backlash is all about. That’s what this unleashing of unembarrassed bigotry is all about. That’s what this moment, in which we’re so divided, in many ways is all about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnock spoke of a “dark and difficult period” marked by the coronavirus pandemic, associated economic downturn and dangerous political rhetoric culminating in the insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month, which he described as an attack “by those who are driven by the worst impulses, stirred up by demagogues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtMyuxcL6ac\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Above: Watch Sen.-elect Raphael Warnock’s sermon via The Hill.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a sense in which the world is in flux, and when that happens there are always those demagogues who are trying to scapegoat those other people, and stirring up the worst types of stereotypes and creating all kinds of division: age-old racial and religious resentments, divisions that blur our vision,” Warnock said. “While we’re busy going after one another, attacking one another, the high sit increasingly high and the low sit extremely low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, Warnock spoke about the Poor People’s Campaign, King’s “last big push” before his assassination in 1968. Warnock drew parallels between that crusade and the injustices facing poor and marginalized populations five decades later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tragedy is that the minimum wage had more purchasing power in 1968 than the minimum wage does in 2021,” Warnock said. “And now we call the invisible workers, the folk we take for granted, we call them essential workers but we refuse to pay them an essential wage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Georgia Sen.-elect the Rev. Raphael Warnock\"]“When you’re accustomed to privilege, parity and equity and equality may feel like oppression. And that’s what the current backlash is all about.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also addressed the ongoing fight for racial justice, noting the similarities between the campaign’s slogan of “I am a man” and today’s refrain that Black lives matter, before slamming police brutality and political corruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Warnock said, Eric Garner and George Floyd were killed by police over loose cigarettes and a fake $20 bill, respectively, while he said Wall Street bankers were not held accountable for destroying “billions of dollars of household wealth.” Breonna Taylor was killed while sleeping by police officers who said they were looking for a drug pusher, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anybody who understands the opioid epidemic in America and its evolution knows that the biggest drug pushers are the drug companies,” Warnock said. “But nothing happens to them because so often those who make the laws are owned by them.

Raphael Warnock took to the pulpit of the civil rights icon’s spiritual home to preach a message of equity, integrity, possibility and inclusivity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnock, who served as the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta for more than a decade before his election to the Senate, spoke at length about “God’s vision of the land” in a livestreamed sermon that paid tribute to King’s work and the ways in which it continues today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wide-ranging sermon touched on a number of issues related to politics, the economy, the criminal justice system and public health. Warnock offered words of hope from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2040%3A4&version=KJV\">Book of Isaiah\u003c/a>, asserting that God’s vision of the land is one of equality, integrity, possibility and unity, even if societal divisions have made it appear blurry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re accustomed to privilege, parity and equity and equality may feel like oppression,” he said. “And that’s what the current backlash is all about. That’s what this unleashing of unembarrassed bigotry is all about. That’s what this moment, in which we’re so divided, in many ways is all about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnock spoke of a “dark and difficult period” marked by the coronavirus pandemic, associated economic downturn and dangerous political rhetoric culminating in the insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month, which he described as an attack “by those who are driven by the worst impulses, stirred up by demagogues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Warnock drew parallels between that crusade and the injustices facing poor and marginalized populations five decades later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tragedy is that the minimum wage had more purchasing power in 1968 than the minimum wage does in 2021,” Warnock said. “And now we call the invisible workers, the folk we take for granted, we call them essential workers but we refuse to pay them an essential wage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
