Rough&Tumble is an aggregator scouring California newspapers, websites and other media to produce a daily digest of political news and analysis that reveals, at a glance, which political issues are currently preoccupying the state’s political class.

Gavin Newsom, and a federal government controlled by President Donald Trump and Republican majorities in Congress.
Trump Derangement Syndrome, as it’s been dubbed, also tends to displace attention to many issues that predate Trump’s era and will have a more profound effect on California’s future than anything Trump is likely to do.
While Newsom inherited most of them upon being elected governor in 2018, in the main, California’s unresolved issues have stagnated or worsened in the nearly seven years since.
