"Week to Week Politics Roundtable: June 11, 2025
Kick off the summer with our latest political roundtable. We talk about Los Angeles and the protests, National Guard, Marines—and what the law actually says. Plus: Governor Newsom gets graded, Oakland gets a new mayor but has the same old budget problems, and more.
Join us in-person or online for the Week to Week political roundtable. Learn more about the people, trends and topics driving the political news of the day.
See other upcoming Week to Week political roundtables, as well as audio and video of past Week to Week programs.
