SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — San Francisco Mayor London Breed held a summit today and it focused on empowering women from all walks of life. The event was both a seminar in how to succeed in life as well as a political call to action. An estimated 1,700 attended the summit to network and learn ways […]
After three decades in the rough-and-tumble world of politics, it would have been easy for Nancy Pelosi to become a cynic. After six presidents, three wars, two recessions, and the rise of the Tea Party, the far right, and Trumpism, Pelosi could have soured on the power of politics to effect change for the better. […]

House Democrats pushed through another multibillion-dollar disaster aid offer Friday — a vote that will be in vain if they can’t strike a deal that defuses President Donald Trump’s hostility toward funneling more money to Puerto Rico. In the legislative scheme of things, the passage vote is a negligible step given that there is no […]
The House approved its first climate change bill in nearly a decade Thursday, legislation that would prevent President Donald Trump from making good on his vow to withdraw from an international agreement to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Approved by a 231-190 vote, H.R. 9 has little chance of passing the Republican-controlled Senate and has provoked a […]
