In just the first month of his Presidency, the Trump Administration has issued numerous executive orders on hot topic issues like immigration, gender, and climate change. Many of the orders signed by President Trump are directly opposed to the policies in place in California. What impact do these orders have on our state? Who has the final say? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and I want to give you a framework for how to understand the impact of the federal government’s actions on life in California, on this week’s episode of The California Conversation!
